Video of Cotton Carding To select the correct futon size Please note that what we show on our site is the size of the futon fabric. If it is filled with cotton, it will be about 4 inches (10 cm) shorter in length and width. Example : Futon Mattress - Single 78” x 39” (200 x 100 cm) will be 74" x 35" (190 x 90 cm) when you receive. If you are planning to place the futon mattress on your bed, and want to fit them perfectly, please be aware of it and select carefully. In Inches In Centimeters All sizes are approximate. Thickness Shiki Futon (Futon Mattress) at the time of delivery is very fluffy and voluminous, measuring over 4” (10 cm) in the thickest center position but after about one week of usage the fluffiness will begin to settle, and the mattress will transform into a stiffer, denser futon. After about two to three months of use, the cotton padding becomes even thinner (more constricted) and the futon will become about half of its original thickness. Although the volume decreases, the cotton fiber's "support features" become activated and the futon becomes a mattress that will support your proper sleeping posture.

It's the main reason I'll only order my futons from Japan. More impressive was how quickly I received my purchase. As expected, my futon arrived well-packaged and within a couple of days after placing my order. Japan's packaging is always carefully thought out. You can tell they truly value their customers and want them to know it. The sellers service is top-notch just like the merchandise they sell. They constantly kept me updated with the progress of my order such as confirmation of my order, when they'll be shipping it, tracking number, etc.. I highly recommend this company! You will not be disappointed. I'm getting ready to order more items from them!liyen703Dec 24, 2022 by liyen703Great!
