EMOOR Japanese Floor Futon Mattress Anti-Sag Twin-XL Made in Japan 100% Cotton Chip Foam Gray, Shikibuton Foldable Sleeping Bed Tatami Mat

I feel that this futon needs an actual review. I have slept on this futon for about 3 weeks now and I tell you what, it is as comfortable as any mattress I've had that is fairly firm.BACKGROUND ON ME: I slept on a brick for a mattress for 8 months and then a ridiculously soft mattress for 2 weeks after that prior to sleeping on this futon and sleeping on a soft mattress killed my back but I became accustomed to it quickly. I was moving into a very small space and since I'm in college I'll be moving at least once or twice more, and one of those possibly being overseas so compactness and versatility is definitely necessary.MY SLEEP EXPERIENCE: Having adjusted to a soft mattress prior to sleeping on this meant that I was definitely in for an adjustment period. It didn't take very long to adjust to it and I still find myself sleeping on my side and it's no less comfortable than sleeping on my back or stomach, though this is likely due to the fact that I have a firm side-sleeping pillow. I find myself getting very restful sleep and as much as I'm afraid of bugs, since you need to take good care of the flooring you place the futon on I don't feel concerned about bugs.FUTON QUALITY: It's very thick, I think I would've had issues sleeping on my side had I purchased the Rococo version of this futon. It's very nice thick cotton and it folds very easily, especially since it came folded in the package it arrived in. Even though it folds, there's really no noticeable fold flattening where the cotton kind of thins because its been folded so many times.YOUR OPTIONS: So there are other options on the futon market, there's the J-life shiki-futon which in my opinion looks like the cotton is going to flatten out or get all moved around inside and become bumpy in places. The Tuft & Needle mattress, I feel, can no longer be listed as a futon mattress, it is far to wide to fold and was never really meant to be a tri-fold mattress of any sort. I can easily see this futon mattress from EMOOR lasting several years if not many if you take care of it right (If I remember it, I'll come back at a later date and update how the quality is holding up).MY OPINION: I spent almost 4 months trying to determine what/which futon mattress to buy because I knew I wanted to move either cross-country or across the world and with a futon I could take it with me more easily than a traditional mattress. It also makes moving apartments way easier! All that being said, I think if you're set on buying a futon because they're just awesome and space-saving, save yourself the time and frustration of decision-making and get this. I feel like I'm sleeping more restfully now because I'm not sleeping on a mattress that is a brick but also not sleeping on jello.PS: It will say that it's going to take a month to arrive or longer but EMOOR used expedited international shipping so I got it in just under 2 weeks.Below is the mattress cover I purchased, it's more expensive than a normal fitted sheet but it has a zipper closure and is very nice, it has a wonderful clean cotton-y feel and keeps both sides of my futon off the floor and more resistant to any mites or bacteria on the floor.Emoor 100% Cotton Cover Single for Traditional Japanese Floor Futon, Anti-Bacterial & Mite-Resistant & Odor-Resistant, Black Made in JAPANGood luck on your futon hunting everyone!

I use the mattress on top of a tatami mat and then I put a memory foam mattress topper on top. I have scoliosis and degenerative disk disease and I am able to sleep without muscle relaxers and my body just feels better. It was worth saving for ! The next thing I’m saving for to buy is the durable bed frame. When the mattress came it was sealed all tight and was clean and aired right up when I fluffed it. The tatami mat is amazing too but I think that was another seller I’m not sure 🤔 either way I LOVE it thank you so much. I’ve had it for about a month now and it’s the same thickness and everything. In love 🥰 thank you

In have a firm Purple mattress at home and every morning I wake up feeling like I was pushed down the stairs from the 17th floor. I buy thing thing with zero prior research it was literally purchased for my semi truck because it was small enough to fit my top bunk and I’d be able to fit it. (2020 Volvo 860) for those who need that info. Now I’m a big guy fat as my father would constantly remind me. So I didn’t think I was purchasing a good nights rest. But omg let me tell you this is some how a game changer. I wake up every day feeling excellent. Even if I don’t get much sleep for what ever reason I wake up feeling rested. Then I go home every weekend and my wife wonders how I’m complaining about being sore when I’m home but not when I’m out working. 10/10 recommend. Idk who this mattress was made for but I’m for it!

I was looking for a replacement to our latex mattress which is a bit too soft for me and my wife. We got it during the pandemic and it was nice. I knew we should have returned it right away as it was already a bit too soft for us. But the mattress company doesn’t take returns, they wanted us to just throw away the old mattress and show it in the trash and they would send us a new firmer one. I felt that was a waste of landfill space and opted not to get the firmer mattress. So here we are 2 years later and the old latex mattress is just a bit too soft for my wife and cannot sleep on her back or else she will wake up with back pain.So I found this along with other Made In Japan Shikifuton mattresses or pad, and was really interested in it. My wife and I have traveled to Japan before and had slept in a very traditional ryokan or Japanese inn, and were quite comfortable sleeping on the floor on the futon. So I went for it and bought this one, it was quite a bit more expensive than that next one, but it is a true queen size. I also liked the construction of it, not too heavy or light. It came in a plastic vacuum packed bag, which was then nicely wrapped in one of those brown fiber paper bag material. Inside the bag was the shikifuton’s fitted sheet, light gray in color. Nicely sewn no loose threads.Once the bag was opened the futon immediately started to puff up and expand. It had just a hint of of the foam smell but after about 5-10 minutes it had dissipated and was gone. I will say that I also had the sliding door open to get rid of the smell a bit. It also had an initial dampness to the futon, but after the smell was gone the dampness was gone as well.My wife really loves this futon and she sleeps so very soundly on it, but she also likes to sleep on the floor. So this is just heaven for her. As for me I do prefer a bit more cushioning, but I’m a bit bigger and much heavier than my wife, 5’10”, 210lbs. So it is a bit of an adjustment for me, but sleeping better. So my wife is more the average size of a typical Japanese person 5’2” 130 lbs. I will say there is a bit of a break in period for your body if you are not used to a more firm mattress. Also depends what you are putting the futon on as the underlayment. I made a make shift tatami mat of two IKEA childrens sleeping pads and then two ply korean floor mats to raise us off the concrete and carpet for now. I have not replaced the old mattress we were using and we are currently sleeping in the living room floor.Now it is only the second night we have slept on it and so far so good. I do wake up a bit stiff and sore as I’m a side sleeper. So I have opted for a taller pillow, to make up for the extra firmness in the futon and I think I might have found the right combo of pillows. Now just a few more nights to get my fat body used to the firmness. But I don’t wake up feeling like I slept in a hammock.
