What is a Japanese shikibuton?

The Japanese futon mattress — a quiet introduction to the bedding loved across Japan

A shikibuton, the traditional Japanese floor mattress, is familiar in homes across Japan. It can be laid on tatami, a breathable bed base, a wooden floor or another suitable surface, then folded, aired or stored after use. This flexibility reflects the Japanese tradition of allowing one room to serve many purposes.
