The Essence Of Shikibutons

Traditionally known as futons in Japan, shikibutons have a rich cultural heritage dating back centuries. The word is a combination of two Japanese words, ‘Shiki’ meaning “spread out,” and ‘buton’ meaning “bedding.”

It has many benefits over traditional mattresses, and for many, it is a daily driver to meet their sleep needs. As such, a Shikibuton –

• Is lightweight yet comfortable
• Can be moved around more easily than traditional mattresses
• It is easy to maintain and clean
• It can be air-dried often to maintain its freshness and fluffiness, etc.

What’s The Science & Logic Behind Its Comfort and Support?

The comfort of shikibutons lies in many factors, such as their construction and materials used, ergonomic design, and customizable firmness. Let’s explore them in detail.

1. Material Selection

A shikibuton is crafted using carefully chosen natural materials such as organically grown cotton, natural latex, and wool. Each of these materials has its own unique characteristics and natural goodness in providing the best sleeping comfort and support for the back and neck.

Traditional Japanese futons and Shiki beddings used to have feathers, dry leaves, and beads in them. However, modern-day Western-style futons or shiki beddings are carefully and scientifically made, keeping in mind the body requirements of the Western population and their sleeping habits. This makes shiki-bedding mattresses more user-friendly and comfortable.

2. Organic Cotton

Some of BioSleep Concept’s shikibuton consist of multiple layers of organic materials, including organically grown cotton. The top layer of organic cotton provides breathability and moisture-wicking properties. These help the bedding surface to be clean and dry because of its natural air circulation.

This natural fabric ensures that your body remains cool during the summer and dry throughout the night, so you don’t suffer from night sweats while sleeping.

3. Natural Latex

Latex grown from natural and sustainable sources has its benefits. Natural latex offers elasticity and contouring abilities. Meaning it will adjust according to the shape and contour of the body of the sleeper.

It easily conforms to the sleeper’s body contour and helps in relieving pressure points and thus provides personalized support and comfort for different body parts, joints, and muscles. This ability of shikibutons helps the sleeper with a long and uninterrupted sleep during the night. Thus, you can wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

4. Organic Wool

Just like cotton, organic wool procured from healthy and hygienic sheep is a sustainable and natural fiber that has many health benefits. One of the chief merits of using organic wool is that it acts as a natural temperature regulator. When it comes to temperature control, it can beat most of the other natural fibers and even the artificial ones.

It can, thus, effectively manage moisture and heat, keeping you warmer during the chilling winters and cool during the summers.

5. Supportive Core

The core of shikibutons consists of a combination of natural materials that act as a solid support foundation for the entire structure of the mattress. This unique supportive core ensures proper spinal alignment and stability, reduced discomfort, and minimized motion transfer.

A supportive core ensures you sleep without much disturbance from your movements during sleep. It also means you will sleep uninterrupted throughout the night.

6. Ergonomic Design

Shikibutons are designed to distribute body weight evenly. It reduces the pressure points of the different body parts and helps the sleeper with a more natural and comfortable sleep posture.

When the comfort from pressure points is well established, the sleeper feels a natural inclination to rest. It helps the sleeper to go to deep sleep quickly. The ergonomic design does just that.

7. Customizable Firmness

A shikibuton can be layered or adjusted to achieve and accommodate the desired level of firmness and support as per the requirements of the sleeper. Some people who need extra coziness use two or more shikibutons – one on top of the other. It helps them to achieve an extra level of comfort, fluffiness, and flexibility from their Shiki-beddings.

The firmness level within the shikibutons is also customizable according to the sleeping needs and preferences of the sleeper. It can be tailored by the use and mix of different materials in various combinations to create a perfect mattress for your sleep.
