FULI Japanese Futon Mattress, Japanese Floor Mattress, Floor Bed, Tatami Foldable Bed, Roll Up Sleeping Pad, Shikibuton, Made in Japan (White, Twin)

I love sleeping on this futon. Takes some getting used to, but my back feels better than ever after the adjustment period. Futon seems high quality, and it’s great to be able to fold it up during the day to maximize floor space.Great way to maintain flexibility and mobility, getting in and out of this futon daily

Paired this up with their Tatami mat and I've been sleeping SO much better than on a "traditional" bed. Memory foam mattress doesn't support your body properly and makes me feel like I'm sinking into the bed (I'm not even obese), and I would wake up feeling tired and groggy every morning.Ever since I started sleeping on this shikibuton, I wake up feeling refreshed, I have deeper sleep and my body feels much more recovered the next morning (my job is physically demanding, so this bed helps with body aches).My wife won't get on board with giving this way of sleeping a try, so I just got the twin and sleep in another room. I actually crave sleeping on this bed and look forward to it over sleeping on the memory foam bed. Anytime I sleep on the foam bed, after a few minutes of laying down, I regret my decision and sometimes I'll even get up and leave to sleep on my shikibuton.I don't think this one is as "legit" and thick as the higher end ones, but for the price it's actually a great way to try out and decide if it's something you wanna do long term before upgrading to a pricier higher end one that's more traditional in thickness.I purchased a cheaper one not made in Japan through Amazon as well, and I can definitely tell the difference in quality over this one from Japan.This bed keeps your body cooler too. I always wake up sweating on the memory foam bed, but now I rarely ever do with this futon.

Been using it for years and it’s great

Great floor bed. Much better than I expected.It helped my low back pain tremendously.

---Eight Month Review Edit At Bottom---This review covers this mattress and the companion XL Twin tatami. As such, this review will be posted in the tatami link as well./futon combo 2/3 week review.Week one: Fell asleep easily, woke up often. Tatami is 3-panel folder. I notice the top/middle seam sometimes depending on how I hit it, and it can wake me up. Some hip soreness from where my weight settles on my hips on the setup.Week two: Hip soreness intensifies. Tried various ideas to help avoid that problem, but problem persists. Joel more stubborn so. . .Week three: very slight hip pain now. Hardly waking up. Infrequent Princess and the Pea moments. If I'd do anything different, it'd be to get a single panel tatami.I am averaging 230, 5'10" (maybe still 11" idk), 42.7 years of age. Perhaps I am blessed to be able to get up and down into that position. But I am adjusting quite well. And I believe this combo can work for anyone.Back pain no longer exists. I wake up, I get out of the tatami, I stand up, I don't feel as groggy. I want to get out of bed, not suffer in it. Tatami kicks my ass out of bed. Not because I am uncomfortable, but because my body somehow seems to realize now that bed is a part of my life, not my actual life.There's a lot more going on there that I cannot explain because I am just a mere, often self-absorbed mortal. But I kid you not.I'd rather have minor tenderness on my hip bones than to feel like my back is collapsing in on itself, as I had on several super firm mattress configurations.My setups over the last five years:1) up till recently, some form of cheap memory foam mattress (or sometimes more expensive) on a frame.2) #1 on the floor3) thin mats on the floor4) cot/mat combo, horrible horrible5) tatami/futon#5 wins for me. Never truly appreciated the floor experience until I did what the Japanese and others have done forever and ever it seems.I could pack up my rig and travel with it if I want. The entire setup weighs about 15 pounds and collapses in on itself in a 3x3 square (or thereabouts).EDIT (eight month review update): I stand behind what I said. Still using the exact same combo as purchased originally. Other than the annoying seam in the tatami (which has nothing to do with the futon), I honestly cannot complain.Being on the floor has been a marked improvement in my general daily mobility. My legs and my health have seemed to benefit very much as a result of this change.I also have really bad sleep apnea/snoring. Except, apparently, according to my roommate who has no reason to lie about it, I don't snore since I've made this my sleeping setup.I would upgrade to a five star at this point, but the combo still needs work. Since this item was recommended as paired with the tatami at the time of purchase, I think it only fair to indicate that there is a slight compromise. You will have to find a place to settle where your hips, arms, shoulders don't rest on the seams, or you're going to probably wake up with a bit of pain and frustration. But still easy to get settled back in and back to sleep.The benefits seem to heavily outweigh the cons.
