Collection: Shikibuton Mattresses

A Shikibuton is a traditional Japanese mattress that is thinner and more lightweight than a typical futon mattress. It’s designed to be laid directly on the floor or on a tatami mat, providing firm but comfortable support. Shikibutons can be easily folded and stored when not in use, making them ideal for small spaces or minimalist homes.

Our Shikibutons are crafted from natural and organic materials, such as cotton, wool, and sometimes latex. These materials ensure a non-toxic and eco-friendly sleeping surface, free from harmful chemicals. We focus on providing organic Shikibutons to create a healthier sleep environment.
