Japanese Futon | 6 MONTH REVIEW!

This futon is made in Japan by really hard working people. On my previous unboxing video (linked below) someone commented with a more affordable futon option for those of you who live in Europe.

This came out at the perfect time, I am really looking to get into getting one. Being able to pack it up is a big deal for me, I'm gonna be moving around for a bit and I don't think my big hulking day bed will be the cheapest or easiest thing to move.

Hubby and I sleep on the floor. We are both over 70 years old. Can't remember the last time either of us had a back ache. We snuggle in at night, sleep very comfortably. I have a roll up thick mat I bought online from Jet. And feather quilts, medium weight on top. I fold one lengthwise, and 'slip' myself inside. Off to dreamland, pronto. People are forever telling us how energetic and great we look.

Gotta fold up daily to prevent mold, also for those interested: don’t put directly on the floor or carpet, buy tatami to prevent mold (my tatami makes the whole room smell amazing like fresh cut grass. Once a week I sun mine, both the shikibuton and my foldable tatami. an hour to each side at this time I shake it out and “beat gently” to fluff it up and prevent a divot that forms from your body. Make sure to flip it every night too, foot to head every day to prevent uneven wear. Wash sheets and kakebuton cover once a week. 😎🖤

My response to people, when I tell them I sleep on the floor, is that the Japanese have been doing it for years and no one bitches about them, plus it's better for your back and spine 🙂

"My dad called me homeless" hahaha

I have gotten the same response when I tell people I sleep on the floor too... doesn't phase me as I know what works for me. I too got the twin extra long and found I could have done with the standard twin. I'm so glad you like it and while I only use it every so often I mainly sleep on the floor with a yoga, sheet or folded knit blanket in the winter for warmth. It does change depending on my needs, but I have the approach, use what I have and I can sleep on a pretty firm surface, anything too soft bothers my back after 1-2 nights and then I transition back to the floor.
All the best and so glad to hear your prospective :)

i agree with nearly everything you've said, i've slept on a futon on the floor for 30 years ! but you should remove the bedding & roll up the futon ( lengthways ) daily to prevent mould growth . this only takes 1 minute & by doing this you won't have to do the monthly " sterilisation " ( which doesn't really sterilise anyway )

[Starchild]

Not to be crude but I feel like sexytimes would go easier on a futon...

In April of 2020. I woke up in so much pain i could not walk good . I have been sleeping on a rug for 20 day's now i have no pain like before i feel like i did in my 20, s will never sleep in my queen size bed again i love the froor. And think before you speak god bless you all good nite

I use a 30" x 75" bed frame with a bunk board. It's as firm as the floor and has all the benefits of a bed. Love it.

Upgrade your boyfriend.

You've only got one back.

The best sleep I've ever had has been from sleeping on the floor! Once I slept on a towel on hardwood, woke up with no pain at all. I remember the day because I was so surprised and haven't felt so good in the morning before. I used a "futon" roll up mattress from Amazon for 2 years, but the synthetic smell got really annoying. Now looking into something better. I spent about $500 on a western-style futon bed that wasnt as comfortable as sleeping on the floor, so I think I will bite the bullet and buy one of these imported from Japan. Might as well, I haven't slept well since getting rid of my floor "futon" from Amazon, I dream about sleeping on the floor again! PS. I don't sleep on carpet, due to asthma. Hardwood is my preference, with a foam pad under the floor futon.

Have you consideed buying a tatami mat to place the futon on top? I believe they offer additional padding and allow the futon to "breathe" while in usr.

[dianeibsen]

Hi Jessica. thank you for the video. Just to tip, it would have been nice to see the bed.. the thickness, how its setup etc. do you have anything under it?

[Xaforn]

Great video! My partner and I have been very curious about comfortable this really is. I prefer to sleep on the floor and I can’t stand what lives under beds! My partner is planning on building us a platform then we would try things out such as a futon vs a mattress.

[johndeveney]

Forget your boyfriend! He can sleep on the couch!😉

[sebaquartzmcdonnell]

I own one as well but I have a tatami mat underneath it. I even bought a kotatsu table. Its way better than sleeping on mattresses. I love in Pensacola fl

[griffinjeff]

You should do a 1 year review and let us know how it is holding up!

[freedomgyal]

I’m considering this bc my shoulder pain from side sleeping has gotten worse over time, which also causes tingling and numbness firing my sleep. Super annoying. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[chlidera]

Hi from Paris, France. Thanks for your great review !! I've been sleeping on the floor for a week and it's changing my life.
