High-Grade FULI Shiki Futon (Shikibuton) - Traditional Japanese Twin Floor Mattress, Made in Japan Review

I suffer from severe back pain due to the usual fluffy mattress on my bed. I tried this product directly on a Japanese style carpet and found that the pain went away! This may be because I am originally Japanese and living in the US, but you may not feel any strain on your body if you turn on it while sleeping as it is firm to support your body while doing so.

This is my second bed. I bought the first one a few years ago to put in my van.

My daughter didn't have a bed for about 2 years, she used a futon instead. While reading the book, I…

This is a very attractive, comfortable traditional Japanese style shiki futon made in Japan. Outer fabric 100% cotton, inner lining polyester. I have size XL twin. It measures 3" thick, 39" (3'3") wide and 83" (6'11") long. This futon is shipped compressed and vacuum packed. Upon opening the plastic bag, the futon slides out and takes a lot quickly returns to its original size. When I first unpacked this mattress, I did not notice any chemical odor. To roll up and store this mattress when not…
