Sleeper resting on the SORA Japanese shikibuton

Taiwan · Buying guide

Choose the model that fits your nightly routine.

OFUTON KOBO offers two Japanese shikibuton lines internationally: HIMARI as the Japanese household standard and SORA as the same firm support idea made deeper for customers abroad.

Choose HIMARI

For the standard shikibuton used in Japanese homes.

Choose HIMARI if you want the standard Japanese home feel: about 10 cm of loft, 25% wool-blend filling, and a firm centre core for nightly floor sleep.

Choose SORA

For the same build made deeper.

Choose SORA if you are a side sleeper or used to the depth of a Western mattress. It adds about 2 cm of loft and uses a 50% wool blend while staying firm underneath.

Which model is best for a first Japanese shikibuton?

HIMARI is the standard thickness used in Japanese homes. It is firm, level, foldable, and practical for everyday floor sleep.

Why is SORA thicker than HIMARI?

HIMARI is the standard thickness used in Japanese homes. Customers abroad often want more depth under the body, so SORA adds about 2 cm and doubles the wool share. The support underneath is the same.
