Japanese Shiki Futons ? Comfortable & Stylish

Posted by HaikuDesigns on August 24th, 2015

As a contemporary rendition of the traditional Japanese futon, or shikibuton, the Eco-Rest Organic and Latex Shiki Futon from is based on minimalism. Emulating the thin, classical Japanese futon is flexible enough to place in like the traditional prototype, with the added benefit of a natural latex core, along with an organic cotton and wool interior.

This futon is perfect for modest apartments and ideal for guest-rooms or for those who appreciate the comfort and orthopedic value of latex but don’t require a large mattress. The shiki organic futon is remarkably light in weight and easy to fold and stored away to free up space.

Shikibuton futons offered by Haiku Designs incorporate organic latex and are is made by hand in the United States. They have two-inch latex cores that are embraced by organic cotton and swaddled in another layer of organic wool that acts a thermal regulator. These multiple layers are designed to ensure exceptional comfort, resilience, and the necessary orthopedic support. Like icing on a luscious cake, the end-product is wrapped in a hefty twill-cover weaved from organic cotton. Shiki futons have no chemical fire-retardants. They feature 100% botanical Dunlop latex, which is GOLS-certified, and the cotton and wool used is GOTS-certified. https://www.haikudesigns.com/organic-latex-shiki-futon-mat.htm

Since wool is naturally resistant to fire, organic Shiki mats fulfill federal regulations, without the need for toxic chemical flame-retardants, which guarantees a healthier home environment, free of petrochemical and off-gassing foams. Organic Shiki futons provide a great fit with Tatami mats, a combination that is consistent with Japanese tradition. Tatami mats offer a full, solid surface that allows fresh air to circulate beneath mattresses and futons. This free-flowing air suppresses the spread of mold, dust-mites and other allergens.

Finally, when using a platform-bed, if slats are used, instead of Tatami mats, then a sheet of plywood may be necessary. Otherwise, the slats can make the surface of a thinner futon a bit bumpy, which may remind you of the Princess and the Pea Jhttps://www.haikudesigns.com/
