How it feels
Compared with a bare board or firm coir mat, a shikibuton offers more cushioning. Compared with a soft latex mattress, it may feel firmer. HIMARI has a balanced, medium-firm feel; SORA offers fuller cushioning with a balanced medium feel. Choose according to your preference for support and cushioning.
When it arrives
SORA is compressed and sealed in kraft paper at the workshop. After opening, lay it flat in a ventilated room and allow eight to twelve hours for the loft to return. The compression cannot be restored once the bag is opened. See Returns on this page for the terms that apply in your market.
