How do I choose between HIMARI 日葵 and SORA 宙?

HIMARI is approx. 10 cm thick with a firm support core; SORA is approx. 12 cm thick with 50% wool in its comfort filling. Compare thickness, feel, dimensions and everyday use.

HIMARI or SORA? Compare their 210 and 200 cm lengths, cushioning, wool-blend filling and available widths for your home on the Isle of Man. Then consider firmer support or fuller cushioning. Approximately 10 cm versus 12 cm of new loft is one part of the choice, not a test of suitability.

Will the bedding fit my present base?

Measure the usable surface, including its length inside any frame edges. Check both dimensions of the chosen model. If the surface or storage area is the limiting factor, settle that before choosing by thickness.

Does room temperature decide which model to buy?

Neither a weather forecast nor a warm bedroom determines the feel you will prefer. Compare the construction and your own sleep habits. Both models need underside airflow and dry storage, so choosing SORA does not remove the care required for a floor setup.
