All Natural Cotton Twin Size Futon

Wonderful new Shikibuton Futon experience! I use a Leewadee-Japanese-Roll Up-Floor Mattress (like tubes of cotton) underneath for extra cush & also purchased a sturdy, Japanese, Wood Slatted, Floor Bed Frame. (NOT the wimpy slatted inserts for a foam bed.) All of this helped make my new Shikibuton Futon experience terrific! At 1st the futon is thick & firm feeling which makes the transition to a new way of sleeping better! SMELLS FRESH & NATURAL! It flattens a bit over time, but by then you grow used to it all. Comfortable with a cooling feeling. I use ONLY cotton sheets, comforter, blanket & mattress pad. It's a Queen size, so it takes a little more effort to roll it, flip it, fluff it etc.. like you're supposed to. Because of this new way of sleeping, I NEVER have back pain anymore & no more hot nights! Very cool. I recommend buying a buckwheat husk pillow & remove some hulls until it feels right. It is odd at 1st, but I can't live without this whole combo anymore! Goodbye hot memory foam & hello environmentally friendly, cool & comfortable traditional way of sleeping! P.S. if you have a pretty normal body weight I think that helps too, otherwise it might take a bit longer to adjust. Before my Japanese frame came, the floor experience was great too. Takes a few days to adjust to a new way of sleeping.

Fantastic cotton mattress, exactly like the kind you find in South Asia. Perfect if you like firm surfaces with some added padding for side sleeping. I can sleep on my back or side very comfortably. It’s heavy, so fluffing it is a little tricky, but it’s doable. I do it every couple of months, which is less often than recommended, but it doesn’t get uncomfortable or lumpy between fluffs, which is great. I also added my queen mattress cover on it, which works perfectly. It’s not a snug fit, but it’s good enough to do the trick and to keep it safe from mites and other bugs. I use normal queen mattress fitted sheets and they work great too.

Wish I could leave a more positive review. It's been 5 months since I bought this mattress and after flipping and turning every week it has rutted out where my upper body, hips and bottom rests and I weigh about 130 pounds. It's become so uncomfortable that it is painful. I am hoping to get another 4 months by flipping and turning and sleeping in areas that I basically haven't slept on. It's a heavy mattress and well made but perhaps this is how cotton mattresses are! I don't have any chronic pain issues but wanted to buy American made, natural mattress but this hasn't worked out at all for me. I might add a layer of foam or end up sleeping on the floor again.

Ordered this 2 years ago, durable, comfy, still going strong. Thank you for making such a great mattress available online through a major distributer. Otherwise the shipping would make it inaccessible. 100% cotton materials in a mattress is very important to me having MCS that includes fiber sensitivities. It did smell like latex when first arriving but it was a natural smell and didn't irritate my eyes or airways.

Although not as thick as expected, it seems well made and is very comfortable

Took some getting used to it. But love it! Good thickness, natural materials. Well made and durable.

It is very comfortable with no chemical smells

Comfortable but smells bad
