When choosing a shikibuton for Jersey, compare centimetres before bed-size labels. A local Single or Double name does not guarantee the same length and width as either model. HIMARI's nominal length is 210 cm; SORA's is 200 cm, with different width choices.
What if I am using an existing guest bed?
Measure the usable supporting surface inside any frame edges. Check length and width separately against the selected product. An inch conversion is a reference, not a reason to ignore the centimetre specification.
Should I choose the widest available size?
Consider how many people will use it, the clear sleeping area and the space needed to handle and air it. For a room used in several ways, the largest option may make daily storage awkward. Confirm the sizes currently offered for Jersey before planning the setup.
