Latex Shikibuton

$506.00

More Comfort. Still Minimal.

Responsive

Cushioning without the sink. Two inches of latex responds around the shoulders and hips while maintaining a buoyant, supportive feel. You get noticeably more cushioning without the deep contouring of a conventional mattress.

Minimal

Comfort without the bulk. The low-profile construction keeps the simplicity of a Shikibuton while adding just enough latex to create a more forgiving sleep surface.

Flexible

Sleep low. Store easily. Designed for floor-style sleeping and flexible spaces, the Latex Shikibuton can be moved or stored when the sleeping area is needed for something else.

Pure Cotton Batting

Layers of pure cotton batting create the firm foundation of the Latex Shikibuton. We use cotton without added fillers or treatments, providing a dense, straightforward base beneath the latex comfort layer.

Cotton naturally settles and becomes denser with use, contributing to the supportive, low-profile character of the mattress.

Latex Comfort Layer

Responsive Pressure Relief

A 2" latex layer provides the cushioning that distinguishes the Latex Shikibuton from our all-cotton Japanese Floor Mattress. Latex responds easily around the body, reducing pressure while maintaining a buoyant, supportive feel.

The result is noticeably more comfortable than cotton alone while preserving the firmer character of a Japanese-style floor mattress.

Wool Batting Used in Futon Mattresses as a Natural Fire Resistant Barrier

Wool Wrap

Natural Protection

A layer of wool wraps the internal construction, adding natural breathability, moisture management and temperature regulation.

Wool also provides natural fire resistance, allowing the mattress to meet Canadian flammability requirements without an additional fire-retardant barrier.

Cotton Canvas Cover

Durable & Tufted

A durable cotton canvas cover surrounds the mattress, providing a breathable surface suited to regular sleeping, moving and storage. Nylon tufts securely hold the cotton, latex and wool together, helping keep the internal materials in place over time.

Choose Your Shikibuton

Both Shikibutons offer a simple, low-profile sleep surface built around layers of pure cotton batting. The main difference is cushioning. Choose the Cotton model for the firmest, most minimal experience, or add latex for greater comfort and pressure relief.

Cotton

Firm & Minimal

The Cotton Japanese Floor Mattress provides very little cushioning between you and the supporting surface below. Its dense cotton construction creates an intentionally firm feel for those looking for a simple, minimal sleep surface.

Best for: Those who specifically prefer a very firm surface with minimal cushioning.

FAQ

Have questions about latex mattresses? Explore straightforward answers about materials, construction, firmness, care, and choosing the right mattress for you.

Can I sleep on a shikibuton every night?

Yes, but shikibutons are intentionally thin and firm. The Cotton model provides very little cushioning and is best suited to sleepers who specifically prefer a very firm surface. For greater cushioning and pressure relief, the Latex Shikibuton is the better choice for most everyday sleepers.

Can I put my shikibuton directly on the floor?

Yes, a Shikibuton can be placed directly on the floor while sleeping, but it should not remain there continuously. A solid floor prevents airflow underneath and can trap moisture in the cotton. The mattress should be rolled daily and aired so that both the mattress and floor can dry completely.

What should I put underneath a Japanese floor mattress?

Nothing is required. You can use a Shikibuton directly on the floor. Using a Tatami mat or something similar is not enough to satisfy the airflow requirements.

Can I leave a Japanese floor mattress on the floor all day?

We do not recommend it. Cotton naturally absorbs moisture from the body and surrounding air. Leaving a Japanese floor mattress against a solid floor for extended periods can prevent that moisture from escaping. Regular airing is an important part of proper care.

Can I fold or roll a Japanese floor mattress for storage?

Yes. The thin construction makes a Japanese floor mattress easier to move and store than a conventional mattress. This makes it particularly useful in rooms where the sleeping area needs to be converted back into living space during the day.

Will my new futon mattress have an odour?

A new futon may have a noticeable earthy scent when first unpacked. This is normal and will gradually dissipate with ventilation and use. Placing the mattress on its slatted foundation in a well-ventilated room will help it air out more quickly.

Will the cotton compress over time?

Yes. Cotton batting naturally settles and becomes denser with use. This is a normal characteristic of a cotton futon rather than a defect. Regularly rotating and flipping the mattress can help the cotton settle more evenly and extend its comfortable life.

Why are futon mattresses tufted?

Tufting helps hold the cotton, foam and wool securely together and reduces movement of the internal materials. We use nylon tufts to help maintain the construction as the mattress is sat on, slept on and folded over time.

Are your futons made with pure cotton batting?

Yes. We use pure cotton batting without added fillers or treatments. Depending on the model, the cotton is combined with high-density foam, latex or memory foam to create the finished mattress.

Do your futon mattresses contain fire retardants?

Our futon mattresses use a wool wrap for natural fire resistance. This allows the finished mattress to meet Canadian flammability requirements without an additional fire-retardants.

How do I care for my futon mattress?

Always use your futon on a breathable, slatted surface and rotate it regularly to encourage even wear and cotton compression. Futons can also be rolled and pounded out.
