FULI Japanese Futon Mattress (Twin)

This matters is awesome for several reasons. 1) OPENS SPACE IN ROOM: it really opens the room up. i just kept seeing how much a bed swallows space in a room. i roll this japanese futon mattres into a makeshift sofa couch during the day. i've been loving having that space now. 2) BETTER ON MY NECK AND BODY: I'm a 58-yr-old woman, and it's good for my back and body. It has been very comfortable. i don't have problems with tingling in my hips and thighs and shoulders/arms anymore like i did with a regular mattress. (and my formerr mattress was a pretty good quality). 3) CLEANER FEELING: it makes me keep up with some better hygiene habits bc you are supposed to air it out 1x week (at the minimum hang over a chair, and better is when you can put it in the sun in the backyard or at a window). Because i sleep with it on the floor this makes me run the vacuum in my room 1x week also before putting the aired-out futon mattress back on the floor. so even though it's a little more maintenance thana regular bed I like it since airing it out makes it feel so clean. Plus, that gives me the structure and makes me run the vacuum in my room and change my linen (when before i didn't often enough 😬). 4) BETTER QUALITY SLEEP: i'm sleeping without having to wake up from pain and tingling in my legs and arms and without lower back pain. So i get deeper sleep and wake up more rested. plus because my sleeping space is cleaner and better maintained, I know that is helping my sleep and mental health. As far as thickness, like i wrote, it's very comfortable and good for my body. as far a heat retention, i haven't noticed this mattress holds heat (at least not any more than any "regular" mattress). I run hot (woman in late 50s) so I have found these solutions when i had a regular mattress that i still use with this futon mattress: a) i wash or at least rinse off in a quick shower at night, cool water at the end, to clean out pores b) run a fan and keep room temp cool, c) use 3 layers of sheets on top of the mattress (underneath me between me and the mattress) and 2-3 sheets layered with a blanket on top of me.

Warning! Queen size is not exactly the same measurement as standard Queen. Regardless, the mattress is great. It is perfectly firm and confortable. The unbleached cotton is good quality. Would purchase another one anytime.

I bought this shikibuton after trying a few mattresses (Nectar, Casper, Sealy Response, Simmons, and most recently Zinus) that simply didn't work for me. It's probably stress at work because of busy season, but I've been getting an hour or two of sleep before constantly waking up. It's a vicious, never-ending cycle until I have to wake up for work. After doing some research, someone online recommended getting a shikibuton and sleeping on the floor (on top of a mat). This was such a weird concept to me because I slept on a mattress and frame/boxspring my whole life. However, I was desperate and decided to give this a try. Thankfully I did because I've been sleeping like a baby and feeling so energized whenever I wake up. It did take a little getting used to the first few days though. Once I did, I don't think I can go back. I have even more projects and stress piling up at work, but I can get a full sleep in before waking up. This shikibuton is the perfect combination of comfort and firmness when used alongside my floor mat. I still find it hard to believe because it's so thin compared to traditional mattresses but it somehow just works. To make it even better, the shikibuton is easy to fold and put away. I have a four story home in the city and sometimes I am too lazy to go down 2 flight of stairs from the master bedroom to my office room/yoga room on the first floor if I want to get some workout in. In less than a minute I can fold my shikibuton, put it away in the closet, and setup my yoga mat. It's so convenient and I couldn't do that with a traditional bed before. This shikibuton and concept of sleeping on one has changed my life. It's so much more affordable compared to all the mattresses I tried and returned back to Costco/Amazon as well. I highly recommend giving a shikibuton a try if traditional mattresses aren't working for you. I don't have any back pain or posture issues so I can't attest to improvements from that aspect of it while using shikibuton. Plus the shikibuton doesn't squeak and slide around during adult time compared to a traditional bed.

Si buscas un colchón para dormir en plano esta es la opción perfecta. Tengo 1 semana durmiendo en el y la verdad es exactamente lo que quería desde hace años. Lo uso directametne sobre la base de madera y es como dormir en el suelo pero con un soporte ligero y suficiente para que mi espalda se relaje y realmente descanse toda la noche. Recomendadísimo. Si necesitas un poco de suavidad extra, puedes comprar una base de tatami que acompañe al futón, hay algunas opciones bastante accesibles aquí en Amazon.

I had a very good night sleep sleeping on it. It’s very soft and comfortable. I love it.

I read a lot of amazing reviews on this matters and was really impress before buying. So… this is all true. Really amazing mattress. It’s thinner then usual like from IKEA. But it’s amazing, soft to lay on and have good dreams. We are using it already 6 months, everything perfect. Truly recommend

Bought second one. Personally, I tend to get a bit hot, but I live in Dubai, sooo…probably, insulation is just right to cover 4 seasons. Personally, I love firm mattresses and sleeping on the floor. It’s not to save money. I would have bought ratio 8 sleep pod, but they have to delivery to Dubai in any way or form.

I love using this! Excellent service from the seller, no complaints at all!
