Details of Fabric - Kanoko

Kanoko Pattern Print

The Kanoko pattern is a traditional Japanese design inspired by the spotted back of a young deer. It features small, evenly arranged dots that create a charming and elegant look. Historically used in shibori (Japanese tie-dye), this motif is valued for its delicate and timeless beauty. Seen from a distance, the pattern blends into a soft, subtle tone, giving the fabric a gentle and refined appearance.

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.

Size Information

Please check the listed measurements carefully before ordering.

Size names such as “Single” or “Double” can vary by country.

For our Futon Mattresses (Shikifutons), the fabric size and finished size are different. Once the cotton filling is added, the futon becomes thicker, and the finished size is usually about 10 cm (4.0 in) smaller than the fabric size.

Numbers in parentheses indicate the finished size after cotton filling is added.

US Full is available for selected futons only.

Package Size & Weight

Approximate package sizes and weights.

Actual package dimensions and weight may vary slightly because each item is packed by hand. Small items, such as covers, are usually packed together with the main product. Pillows may also be included in the same package depending on the order.

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.
