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

Very Hodgsons quality futon mattress. You do need a mat underneath though

Surprisingly comfortable and has helped ease my upper back and neck pain from office work. I would recommend this product. It may take a few nights to get used to the mattress and floor sleeping but give it chance.

Great product

I think the important thing to know is that this is not a mattress in the western sense, it's not going to support/wrap around your full body. This style of traditional futon it's main purpose is to help the body to support itself and to relieve the discomfort on the parts that contact the base like hip and shoulder joints. I think the depth measurement is given too much emphasis, yes it does fluff up but when you lay on it you are not going to get that much depth, the layers cushion the firm pad in the middle which is what supports the contact points. I've experimented with various sleep mats but needed something that was easier to put away each morning and a little more fit for purpose, so a Japanese futon fits the bill! I would recommend trying a self inflating camping mat say 4cm and if you get on with that for a few nights then I think you'll have no issues with this as a permanent bed.

Older person using it on the floor could do with a bit more padding

I wanted to give the futon a few months use before leaving a review, which I have. It may not be the thickest but it is remarkably comfortable and very light. I have a bad lower back and using this futon has really helped. I sleep better and don't wake up anyway near so sore. Two nice touches were a thank you note and an origami stork. I bought this futon because I wanted a good quality product and am very pleased with it.

I have been sleeping on it every night for about a month and have not slept better. I don’t have tatami mats so I put it down on my very firm cotton meditation mats. Every morning I pick it up, give it and my bedding a shake and stash it away until the evening. The bed always feels fresh and clean and I’m happy to get in it. If you don’t like a firm bed you might struggle.

Bought this to replace an uncomfortable air mattress used as a spare bed. My first guest found sleeping on the shikibuton a new experience but very comfortable. I also needed something easy to store in my ottoman storage bed, and this works perfectly. I'm very pleased with this item.

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

Lovely. Nice and comfortable. Twin size was bigger (in a good way) than expected. Plenty big enough for my height (4”11) and supportive for my weight (108lbs). Lots of room. Sometimes I need a nap away from the noise and others so I use this to lay down in my office (I work from home). Soft cover layer. Great materials and firmness. No smell at all when I opened.

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

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.

Excelente para dormir en suelos de madera. Si es algun otro material como loseta, es muy necesario que tenga tatami debajo para disipar la humedad. Dale 2 semanas con uso regular para que se expanda bien. Vale la pena, esto y un tatami y te olvidas de bases de cama y mudanzas dificiles.
