Gray Grey Flannel Japanese Floor Futon Mattress. Sleeping Mattress, Tatami Mat, Japanese Bed Roll, Foldable Roll Up Mattress, Rolling Bed Shikibuton. Twin Size

So as someone who made the switch to futons 4 months ago and never looked back, I thought it might be nice to have a a sort of topper for the cold winter months and for a guest. This mattress suits those purposes perfectly. The soft flannel top adds a bit of warmth underneath, and its just the right thickness and softness to add a nice comfortable layer on top of my futon. So that way when i have a guest, it feels not quite so futon-on-the-floor-hard. It also makes a great sitting mattress for dad-and-son chill time or watching movies in front of the couch. Dont be scared off by some of the negative reviews, but be sure you know what you're getting. If you are using as a topper, check the measurements of the base, the product is maybe two or three inches shorter on the width side of things, and an inch on the length short, so i need to get a larger size up.

I was looking forward to being able to write this review... I received my item. I ordered a GREY/FULL. The delivery time was as stated. I read ALL the reviews prior to ordering, compared to similar products and took my time before ordering. My reasons for choosing: COLOR. MEASUREMENTS. 3lb WEIGHT. ABILITY TO ROLL UP. 1-2 IN” THICKNESS. INVESTMENT (price). Obviously customers expectations/perceptions/needs are related to their lifestyle. I’m still BUSTING UP over the “Large Bathroom Mat” review. Here’s my take: Yes, it’s soft. Yes it’s thin and should not be a purchase for those seeking a “mattress like” cushion. Customarily we sleep on futons. I AGREE with other reviews and this item should NOT be the reason you’re choosing it. It’s NOT of the same caliber and the connotations in its descriptions CAN be misleading. I have an 18lb goose down mattress topper. I’ve purchased a no spring mattress in a box, so I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIGHT & SIMPLE. My intentions is to also be able to travel with it without being big bulky, but I didn’t want a sleeping bag or camping cot cushion. It comes with a tote, which is a PLUS PLUS for me. I’m use to Queen measurements & the FULL did seem tiny - yet matched the descriptive size. As far as the price, well... I wouldn’t say it’s a $70-$80 item. $50-$55/absolutely! Especially since a single towel or pillow case can range around $15 each. Memory foam, NO! If that’s the word manufacturers are using to say it won’t deflate easily, lose its shape or flatten instantly, then I’d have to argue my point as Robert DeNiro did in Casino by insisting all the muffins have the exact same amount of blueberries. The manufactures photo resembles a large/fluffy item. This must be an Alice in Wonderland size room. I would compare it more to a car seat pad. PAD, NOT CUSHION. For me, this item is exactly what I need.

It is not as thick as what I expected.

this is the first review that I have ever written, because I have never felt the need to really go out of my way (laziness) to write one, even for things that are pretty low quality or damaged. This however, made a lazy person like me want to write a review just to help out a fellow E-shopper. it is definitely a mattress topper. not a shikibuton, because I recently got rid of one ive had for years that I ordered from japan and the quality and form are completely different. if youre fat, with minimal back issues, sleeping practically on the ground shouldn't be an issue (im saying from personal experience) and if youre willing to spend a couple weeks sleepless so you can adapt to the change, then buy this. im too lazy to return It, so I will do that. if not, you might as well save the money, buy a better quality item, or just take a comforter and sleep on it. I actually, out of curiosity compared one of my comforters to this item and found my comforter to have more thickness. I will post photos later, but it is 1 inch thick, less even.

I used this mat as my bed for about a year when I didn’t want to buy a new bed frame and mattress. As long as it’s on carpeting, it’s fairly comfortable, as long as you like a firm bed. Guests did not like it as much as I did. I enjoyed being able to easily fold it up and stuff it in the closet when I wanted more space in my room. I recommend stacking two for more comfort

I liked the concept of portability and ease of storage, but the material is flimsy and ripped upon the firet vacuum (the manufacturers recommended method of cleaning it). Oh well, it still works right now. There's also no removable lining

Warning: if you are not used to floor sleeping, what you have undoubtably read is true: this mat is pretty thin. I’ve seen some say that you would be better suited with a comforter. I would have to disagree as this if very sturdy, does have a thickness to it, and is very breathable. If you’re used to a more conventional sleeping situation, this may be too extreme for you! Now having said that, if you already know how great for your back sleeping on the floor is, and how much space it saves, this glorified mattress topper is the best sleep I’ve ever had. I love how neatly and easily it folds up, I didn’t have to air out any weird orders like you have to with those camper mattresses, etc. I’ll be using this until it withers away or otherwise becomes usable. At that time, I’ll probably just buy another. :)

Update: customer service was quick to fix this issue and issued a full refund for this product. They reached out to us to ensure our satisfaction and were willing to do everything possible to make things right. At first, we were pretty upset with how this product came, it was damp and smelt like mildew. We had to wash it right away. Aside from that, It was was a decent product. It is very soft and the thickness is good for anyone wanting to get the benefits of sleeping on the floor. Provides just enough cushioning and comfort. It is not very thick, but that's the point when you move from a traditional western mattress to sleeping on the floor "Japanese-style"

Smells really bad!

Very light, soft upper cover and thin (foam) material. Perhaps only for yoga excercise. Its so thin, even though i put this mattess (? I think its a yoga mat) over thick floor mat i woke up numerous time overnight and had a rough sleep with sore joints in the morning. I prefer to sleep on floor due to back issues but this was another unfortunate experience. This will only work if its thickness is more firm but not soft like

extremely thin and poor quality material, has straps on it? so I'm more inclined to believe that this is just a falsely advertised mattress cover. if you are looking for a futon that serves the purpose of sleeping on without anything underneath it DO NOT buy this product.
