About Luxton Home Japanese Shiki Futon Foldable Mattress
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
73% appreciated its breathability
I could immediately use the futon-mattress for sleep as it does not have any bad smell.
75% found it extremely comfortable, while 25% thought it was too firm
The sagging of my mattress has affected my comfort and support, which is crucial for a good night's sleep.
I find the futon uncomfortable and it causes back pain, especially since I have scoliosis. It may not be comfortable for everyone with back problems.
78% found it easy to fold and store, while 22% struggled with the process
I can only fold the futon-mattress into thirds, but the folding ability is interesting. I am looking for a suitable spot to rest it until tonight when I make my bed again.
84% appreciated the high-quality materials, but 16% found them cheaply made
I am dissatisfied with the material quality of the futon-mattress. The product tag does not specify the fill material contents, and it was initially advertised as being made of organic cotton. The fill around the edge is thicker, and the main area is hard. I have included photos to support my claim.
I regret not buying a better quality mattress as I found another one that is twice as thick and made of better material.
The fabric of the futon-mattress has ripped due to wear and tear at the feet.
I wish the material of the mattress was thicker, otherwise I would have given it 4 or even 5 stars.
84% praised for its minimal motion transfer
I recommend the futon for those who prefer sleeping closer to the floor on a stiffer surface.
After sleeping on the shiki futon for the first time, my vertebrae, bones, and muscles moved back to their correct position, causing some discomfort initially but eventually disappearing, and I slept like a baby. I woke up the next morning with almost no pain and have been sleeping pain-free for three nights now.
71% liked the generous thickness, although 29% thought it was too thin
I think the futon-mattress is just short of 2 inches thick and it would be perfect if it was another inch thicker.
The futon-mattress is not as thick as advertised. A review stating that it is more like 1.5 inches than 3-4 inches thick is correct.
The extra padding didn't make much difference, it still felt like a folded blanket on the floor.
The mattress is very thin and hard on my back and neck.
