More than a few people have been leaning more towards an all-natural and all-organic products, even if they aren’t necessarily an ardent follower of the all-natural lifestyle. The top and bottom layers of The Futon Shop All-Natural Shikibuton is made up of virgin and 100% organic wool that’s sustainably harvested from American sheep. Wool is temperature regulating. This means it can help you stay cool when you sleep hot and stay warm when you sleep cool. This makes it a good option if you live in place with changing climates. Wool is also a natural flame retardant, making the Shikibuton free from any harmful chemicals or even fiberglass that some mattress companies use as a fire barrier. We experienced no off-gassing with the Colorful Mart Tatami Mattress. It can easily be rolled up and stored away when not in use. Sizes

Sleeping hot is a problem quite a lot of people have. The ideal temperature to get a good night’s sleep is 65 degrees Fahrenheit. More often than not, your mattress may be the culprit (especially memory foam mattresses). These three layers of the Shikibuton come encased in an organic cotton fabric case. It is not removable nor washable. Some futons can be washed (yes, the whole thing) but The Futon Shop recommends regular sunning and airing out to keep your mattress fresh and clean. They also recommend the use of a mattress protector or futon slipcover, which they also provide specifically for their futons. Should any spills or accidents happen to your unprotected Shikibuton though, immediate spot cleaning is key. The cover of the Colorful Mart Futon mattress is made up of 100% polyester fiber, which is light and breathable. Colorful Mart suggests to have their Tatami mattress professionally cleaned but for regular use, they recommend airing it out as well as regular sunning, just like the Japanese way.When you’re shopping for a folding mattress, consider how you will mostly be using it.

The Maxyoyo Japanese Floor mattress can be used directly on the floor although we do not advise the use of any mattress, futon or not, directly atop a floor. You can use either a mat or any solid base underneath. This not helps with comfort but will also help with air circulation for your mattress as well as avoiding mold, mildew and dust mites.
