HIMARI Japanese shikibuton laid flat to show its size

Australia · Size guide

Choose by measured space, not mattress labels.

OFUTON KOBO shikibuton sizes follow Japanese centimetre dimensions. Use this guide to compare the actual laid-flat footprint before continuing to Shopify.

How to measure

Start with the floor area you can keep dry and level.

Measure the intended floor, platform, or bed-frame surface in centimetres. A shikibuton should sit fully supported, without hanging over an edge or dipping into a soft base.

Inch values are useful references for shoppers used to Twin, Full, or Double labels, but the centimetre dimensions are the product record.

  • HIMARI Single: 210 x 100 x approx. 10 cm.
  • SORA Single: 200 x 100 x approx. 12 cm.

Fit and movement

Choose between the two Australia single-size options.

Both Australia options are 100 cm wide and intended for one sleeper. HIMARI is 210 cm long; SORA is 200 cm long and has greater loft.

For Australia, current checkout support is limited to HIMARI 210 × 100 cm and SORA 200 × 100 cm.

Are OFUTON KOBO sizes the same as Australian bed-size references?

No. The official dimensions are Japanese centimetre measurements. Inch values are approximate references only.

Should I choose HIMARI or SORA by thickness?

Thickness matters, but feel matters too. HIMARI is the standard thickness used in Japanese homes, approx. 10 cm with a balanced firm feel. SORA is approx. 12 cm, made deeper for side sleepers and sleepers used to a Western mattress.
