This helps ease muscle aches and stiffness caused by too much time sitting during the day or an active lifestyle, like going to the gym, hiking, or running,” he says. Pain relief For centuries the Japanese have slept on shikifutons : a bedding set comprised of a plush, structureless mattress known as a shikibuton (敷き布団) and a kakefuton (掛け布団), akin to western duvets. This simple setup is traditionally laid on tatami mats then directly on the floor. Futons are traditionally laid on tatami rush mats, [7] which are resilient and can absorb and re-release up to half a liter of moisture each. [9] Tatamis measure 1 by 0.5 ken, just under 1 by 2 meters, [10] the same size as a Western twin bed. A traditional shikibuton is also about the size of a Western twin bed. As of 2010 [update], double-bed-sized shikibutons were available, but they can be a bit heavy and awkward to stow.

Once you have listed the pros and cons, it is up to you whether you want to splurge on a more high-end traditional Japanese futon or save a little with a simply made Japanese futon. There are also western-style futon mattresses that you can choose from if you prefer. Today, there is certainly more options than what the Japanese had centuries ago. If you ever been into a traditional home in Japan or slept in a ryokan, chances are that you’ve seen or slept on a Japanese futon. The Japanese futon is known as the folding floor mattress because the shiki futon should be flexible and easily foldable in half--a quality that makes them highly convenient for compact spaces and simple living arrangements.

Simple living is of the essence and floor sleeping is common in Japan. A Japanese futon mattress with tatami mat on the floor is the ideal sleeping situation in many Japanese homes.

A shikibuton is typically paired with a tatami mat and futon blanket but they can also be standalone mats for floor sleeping.
