Fabric & Filling

Both the outer fabric and the filling are made with GOTS-certified organic cotton.

The fabric has the natural beige color of unbleached cotton. Small brown specks may appear in the fabric, but they are natural parts of the cotton and are not stains.

The cotton filling gives the Baby Futon Mattress a soft and full feel when new. With use, the cotton gradually settles and becomes firmer, which is a natural characteristic of cotton bedding.

Handmade Details

Hand-stitched futon finish Hand-tufting process Corner tie detail

Hand-Stitched Finish

Each Baby Futon Mattress is carefully sewn closed by hand after the cotton is layered.

Hand-Tufting

The hand-tufting helps hold the cotton filling in place while it settles naturally over time.

Corner Tie

The corner ties help hold the cotton filling in place near the corners.

Silk-Free Option

Silk thread is normally used for the corner tassels and tufting ties because it is strong and resists unraveling.

If you prefer not to use silk, select the Silk-Free option. We will use cotton thread instead.

Please note that cotton thread may loosen or unravel more easily than silk, and the thread color may vary from the product images. This does not affect the function of the futon.

For more details, please see our guide to the Silk-Free option.

Silk-Free Option

GOTS-Certified – Crafted for Comfort

Made from 100% organic cotton and certified by GOTS, this cover is free from harmful chemicals, ensuring a gentle touch on your skin and a sustainable choice for the environment.

Expertly sewn using Japan’s renowned stitching techniques, it offers exceptional durability and a beautifully refined finish. Soft, breathable, and designed for year-round comfort, this cover enhances your sleeping experience while preserving the tradition of Japanese craftsmanship.

Fabric & Colors

The outer fabric is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and is available in four colors: Natural Beige and three original colors developed for Futon Tokyo.

Natural Beige is used in its unbleached state, so small brown cotton specks may appear on the surface. These are natural parts of the cotton and are not a defect.

The other three colors are original Futon Tokyo colors, developed to complement the simple character of our cotton futons and work naturally in a wide range of interiors.

The same organic cotton fabric is used across all four colors.

Filling

The filling is 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton.

For larger sizes, such as Queen, our craftspeople carefully layer as many as 30 sheets of cotton by hand, gradually shaping the futon as they work.

We use cotton with a firm, supportive fiber that works well for Japanese futons. The futon feels soft at first, then gradually becomes denser and more supportive with use.

No wool, polyester, flame retardants, pesticides, or adhesives are used in the filling.

Learn more about our GOTS-certified organic cotton.

Thickness & Natural Compression - Futon Mattress

Cotton futons are soft and fluffy when new, but they naturally settle with use.

A standard Futon Mattress (Shikifuton) is over 10 cm / 4.0 in at the thickest point when new. Over time, it usually settles to around 5 cm / 2.0 in.

This is a natural characteristic of cotton bedding. As the cotton settles, the futon becomes denser, firmer, and more supportive.

Care Instructions

  • After sleeping, fold back or stand up your futon to let the underside air out. This helps prevent moisture from building up underneath.
  • We recommend using a futon cover to keep your futon clean.
  • Air out your futon regularly to prevent moisture buildup. When possible, dry it in direct sunlight for about 2 hours on each side.
  • If outdoor airing is difficult, place the futon in a well-ventilated room so air can circulate around it.
  • Do not wash with water.
  • For long-term storage, keep it in a dry place, preferably on an upper closet shelf or raised area.

    Please note: If the fabric gets stained, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid beating the futon or jumping on it, as this may damage the cotton filling.

How It’s Made

Each shikibuton is made by the craftspeople in our Tokyo workshop.

From preparing the cotton to layering, shaping, stitching, and tufting, every step is done carefully so the cotton can settle naturally over time.

Baby Futon Mattress FAQ

1. What is the difference from a futon for adults?

The main difference is the size. The materials, structure, and manufacturing process are the same as our standard Futon Mattress (Shikifuton).

There is no foam core or spring inside. The mattress is filled with layers of cotton.


2. Can I place the baby futon directly on the floor?

Yes, but we recommend placing it on a rug, tatami mat, or another soft surface.

Because babies are lightweight, the baby futon itself provides enough cushioning. However, if it is placed directly on a cold floor, especially in winter, the coldness of the floor may be felt through the futon.


3. Cotton futons are not washable. What should I do for bed-wetting?

We recommend using a waterproof pad to protect the futon.

For extra comfort, you can place a washable cotton pad on top of the waterproof pad. The cotton pad can absorb sweat and make the sleeping surface more comfortable for your baby.

If the futon gets damp, air it out well and allow it to dry completely.

He really likes it. It's been hard to put him to sleep, but on the futon it's much easier because we can be next to him to sooth him and we can take the futon anywhere with us. So we are very happy with the baby futon <3
