Many people have never heard about the shiki futon Japanese mattress, which is said to be comfortable, with a soothing affect. It is made in the United States with quality materials and a natural cotton duck covering that ensures that it holds up to years of use. The mattress itself is not made from inner springs or foam or synthetic fibers. It is only four inches thick and offers a good night's sleep. A shiki futon mattress can usually be folded down for easy storage. It is comfortable and most people do not need any added padding.
Firmness
As for the sizes of a Japanese mattress, you can get a twin, full or queen. They do have custom features that are available for these mattresses as well. The Japanese believe that sleeping on the shiki futon is good for the back because it offers firmness, whereas something soft allows the spine to become curved while sleeping. The true Japanese mattress has cotton batting inside and is covered with a special sheet. If you plan to use the Japanese mattress, you might even consider the Japanese pillow, which is made of buckwheat chaff and red beans.
The Japanese mattress will work well on the floor because you can fold it up and put it away during the day. If you prefer to have something off the ground, you can use a platform bed frame. With this type of mattress, you do not want a bed frame with sides or a bed with a box spring. These mattresses are designed for the floor, but a hardwood platform will work just as well. You can find bed frames with headboards or complete bedroom sets. The important thing is the support for the shiki mattress.
Bed Frames
The platform bed frames are very low to the ground, which may make it difficult to get up in the morning. They also make platforms for two twin sized shiki mattresses, which are used by many Japanese people today. The idea behind this way of sleeping is that each person in the bed has his or her own mattress to take care of in the morning. Although this mattress is not as popular in the United States, it is sold in the States as well as the platform bedroom sets. The platform bed frames do come with mats to put down before laying the shiki futon mattress on the bed.
Because the traditional Japanese mattress folds into thirds for easy storage, you will find that the mattresses themselves are lightweight. Some stores will carry the shiki Japanese mattress, the pillow, summer blanket and the winter comfortable. The summer blanket resembles a huge towel and the pillow as stated earlier is made of buckwheat chaff and red beans, which is helpful to lessen night sweats. The pillows have become a popular item for women going through menopause and for men who have night sweats. The mattress by itself does offer a good night's sleep, but when you add the traditional bedding and pillows, then you have a full traditional Japanese bed set.
