Beautifully designed comforter that has kept me warm throughout the night. My only regret is that I'll eventually have to store it back in the closet once the weather starts getting warmer. Until then, I'll enjoy the restful sleep with it while the temperature remains cold. Thank you!

Futon made with high-quality materials. I’ve been using it for 2 months and I find it very comfortable; finally, I no longer have back problems in the morning!

The cushions are more beautiful that in the pictures, hight quality, in obi fabric. Perfect communication with the seller, quickly delivery fron Japan to Switzerland

I wanted something special and I sure got it. These are just spectacular. It is hard to find handcrafted items like this anymore.

I was looking for a cushion so that I could sit on my heels in different parts of the house. I started off with one… and it made such a difference (I was using a standard cushion before) that I ordered two more and added Ojamis (also very special) so I could sit for longer. I also use them for back support in regular chairs.

Shiki Futon Mattress

Absolutely in love with the futon! It’s so comfy, and you can tell how much care was placed into the order, even down to the little details with the hand written notes, so cute!! So glad I spent my money here, thank you Takaokaya!!

Amazing!

Very happy with Kyoto Basic Sleep Set! Quality of the products is great and we were informed of the timetable of our order in all turns. We also ordered tatamis via Takaokaya. We will be returning customers for sure!

I firstly want to comment on the customer service. For several days, I talked to Valery who helped me determine exactly what I wanted and needed in my futon set, including colors and fabric types. She was very kind and helpful and I feel as though I've made a friend.

I requested extra stuffing for my futon so I got the max option which was + 50% cotton. It is very soft and pillowy as a result, and I hope the earthy hay-like smell of the cotton never fades. This will, however, make it bulkier and harder to move, though not at all impossible on your own. If you only plan on using it on occasion like I do, though, moving it won't be too much of an issue.

The single is a perfect size for one person and a cat or two. I have enjoyed meditating on it at night. It is very cooling and doesn't cause me to feel overheated. Overall, I recommend you shop here for an authentic at-home Japanese experience.

I ordered two Supima cotton covers - one black and one beige. They slip over the top of the futon like a partial pillowcase and don't cover the bottom of the futon, which was unexpected for me. It makes the process of fitting a cover on top of the futon very easy, though. I expect the covers will soften after washes and use, but as they are, they are very smooth and pleasant to the touch.

Amazing! Could not recommend more.

Shiki Futon Mattress

I went back and forth for weeks on whether or not to commit to a shiki futon, and I'm so glad I finally did. It's not a dense slab like American style futons, but a lighter, comfier pad. I used it as a topper for an uncomfortable mattress for a few weeks and instead of waking to toss and turn every few hours I was finally able to sleep more soundly through the night. I also tried it as a topper for an air mattress and it made that experience more comfortable as well. I haven't tried it by itself on the floor yet, but I am more than happy with it as a mattress topper. I ordered the semi-double size, which is a bit wider than an American twin and fits well inside twin-sized sheets. From ordering to arrival I only waited about a month, and it has been well worth it. The fabric and overall make of the futon is beautifully done.

Very good quality and really authentic. Thank you 🤩
