Long Zabuton Sizes and Uses

Comparison of Double, Triple, and Quadruple Length Naga-zabuton sizes

Quadruple Length

The largest Naga-zabuton, with a generous size for stretching out and relaxing.

Made in much the same way as a traditional Futon Mattress (Shikifuton), it can also be used as a compact sleeping mat for occasional use.

Fabric Size: 180 x 85 cm (70.9 x 33.5 in)
Cotton Filling Weight: 4.0 kg (8.8 lb)

Triple Length

A roomy Naga-zabuton with plenty of space for one person to sit, recline, or relax.

It works well on the floor, beside a low table, or as extra cushioning on a sofa, while remaining easier to move than the largest size.

Fabric Size: 150 x 70 cm (59.1 x 27.6 in)
Cotton Filling Weight: 3.0 kg (6.6 lb)

Double Length

The most compact Naga-zabuton size, easy to move and use in different areas of the room.

Suitable for sitting, reclining, or short naps. It can also be folded for use as a pillow, rolled for back support, or placed across a two-seat sofa for extra cushioning.

Fabric Size: 110 x 60 cm (43.3 x 23.6 in)
Cotton Filling Weight: 1.5 kg (3.3 lb)

All zabuton cushions are generously filled with cotton and feel soft and full when new. With regular use, the cotton gradually settles and becomes firmer. This is a natural characteristic of cotton-filled Zabuton.

The listed dimensions refer to the fabric size before filling. Once the cotton is added, the finished dimensions may appear slightly smaller because of the volume of the filling.

Natural Cotton from India

Our natural cotton filling is made from Desi cotton grown in India. We use the term “natural cotton” to distinguish it from our organic cotton filling.

Desi cotton is a traditional Indian cotton variety with relatively firm, resilient fibers. These characteristics make it well suited to Japanese futons, which are designed to gradually settle and become firmer with use.

The cotton is prepared for futon making at our workshop in Tokyo and layered by hand when each futon is made.

No wool, polyester, flame retardants, pesticides, or adhesives are added to the filling.

Cork Leather

Cork leather is the bark of the cork oak tree of the genus Quercus of the beech family.

We use cork leather produced in the forests of central India, where cork leather of high quality is produced, although the share of cork production is still small. It is soft and flexible, yet very durable due to the cotton fabric on the back.

When the cork oak is 20 years old and the diameter of the trunk is 20 cm, it undergoes its first peeling. After that, the bark is periodically peeled, and the processed products are used for various purposes, and it is said that harvesting is possible without cutting down the trees until they are about 250 years old.

Cork forests also contribute greatly to the prevention of global warming. Peeled cork trees absorb three to five times more carbon dioxide than usual. Not cutting down trees, using the material without using all of it, and helping to prevent global warming are the reasons why cork is said to be an environmentally friendly material.

Craftsmanship: How We Make a Zabuton

Each Zabuton is made by hand using traditional Japanese futon-making techniques.

  • Layers of cotton are arranged by hand to create an even foundation.
  • The cotton is shaped and distributed carefully so that the filling reaches the edges while providing support at the center.
  • Each corner is filled and shaped by hand to form the final shape of the cushion.
  • After the cotton is inserted, the opening is sewn closed by hand with a blind stitch.

The shape and balance of each Zabuton are adjusted by hand as it is finished.

About Flat Dimensions

The listed dimensions are measured from seam to seam while the Zabuton is lying flat and unfilled.

Once the cotton filling is added, the Zabuton gains volume, so the finished length and width become smaller than the listed flat dimensions.

When new, the Zabuton is approximately 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in) thick. With use, the cotton gradually settles to around 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in).

Finished size and thickness may vary slightly depending on the amount of filling, temperature, humidity, and use.

Care for 100% Cotton Filling

• Do not wash with water at home.
• Air regularly in a dry, well-ventilated place.
• On clear, dry days, air the item outdoors to help release moisture from the cotton filling.
• If outdoor airing is not possible, place it in a well-ventilated room and use a fan or dehumidifier if needed.
• If the outer fabric becomes dirty, gently spot clean the affected area and allow it to dry completely.
• Store only when completely dry, in a well-ventilated place.
• Cotton naturally settles and becomes firmer with use. This is a normal characteristic of cotton-filled bedding.
