Review on 🛏️ Authentic Japanese Floor Futon Mattress Cover: FULI 100% Cotton, Queen Size, Gray - Made in Japan by Cathy Peng

As another reviewer noted, it will decrease (correction: MAY decrease - see second paragraph). This makes the Twin XL Shikibuton (83 inches long) snug fitting, not quite flat with a bulge in the middle. Support for English on labels and literature is minimal, but I suspect somewhere in the hiragana text there is a warning that the fabric is old-school cotton - NOT preshrunk - with proper care instructions, so those of us who cannot read Japanese, this misses important information. Solution: Launder clothes so they don't shrink like your grandmother did in the days when pre-shrunk fabrics weren't common, which means you don't use heat. After sitting down I ordered a second one: I can confirm that it would NOT exist if hand washed (or machine washed on the gentle cycle) in the coldest possible water and then line dried or in a dryer with no heat dried Sufficient literature to avoid user error For us Americans not used to traditional fabrics, this product would be 5 star: It's soft, smooth, comfortable, and dries easily (use a vacuum and/or brush to remove to remove lint). . Aside from more detailed care instructions/warnings, the only change I would make is that the zipper should cover at least one of the short sides - with an opening on only one long side it could be a wrestle match. Insert a shikibuton without the help of a second pair of hands.
