Futon mattress: why opt for a traditional Japanese mattress?

2022-05-27T14:24:37.970Z


The futon is a mattress like no other, which comes from Japan. It is sometimes favored by sleepers from other countries: find out why


When we think of the mattress, we generally have in mind a thick model that is installed on a box spring.

However, if you ask a Japanese person what a mattress looks like to him, he may describe a thin mattress that can be folded to save space: it is a futon.

This bedding, still not widespread in Europe, still has its followers.

The best deals on futons:

  • La Redoute Interiors futon mattress 140x190 at 146€30 instead of 209€

  • Futon mattress for Thai bench La Redoute Interiors at 104€30 instead of 149€

  • Ecru cotton futon mattress 140x190 at the price of 199€90

What is a futon?

In Japanese, the word "futon" means "cotton mattress".

It designates a mattress less than 10 cm thick, flexible enough to be folded.

The Japanese who use it tend to position it on the ground, on a tatami which then acts as a bed base.

The advantage of the futon is that it allows you to sleep in a small living space: when it's time to go to bed, all you have to do is put your bed on the floor and, the next day, put it away in a closet, for example.

The futon is much more comfortable than a floor mat and faster to set up than an inflatable mattress, which helps to make it a very popular spare bed.

The futon, as comfortable as a real mattress?

If the futon has its followers, it is however difficult to imagine replacing a classic mattress with this alternative.

The mattress, combined with a “real” box spring, remains more comfortable over time!

However, for a short time, the futon remains an absolutely fine sleeping solution.

Do not hesitate to try the experience if you have the opportunity one day!
