Luxton Home Japanese Shiki Futon Foldable Mattress for Sleep & Travel - Twin-Long

Nose si es por qué era compra importacion pero compré el que según traía una funda para el futón y no traía nada, además se tardó un montón en llegar y pata el precio y lo que ofrece es mejor comprarse otro más económico.

Soy estudiante, llevo ya casi tres años estudiando fuera de mi ciudad y las camas de los pisos de alquiler dejan muchísimo que desear además de darte graves dolores de espalda (a veces tienes que dar las gracias por tener cama...)Total, que decidí comprar un futón y estoy MUY SATISFECHO.Las primeras noches son complicadas hasta que te adaptas, pero a medida que lo usas te es cómodo incluso el suelo. Llevo ya medio año y es de las mejores compras que he hecho nunca. Parece caro, pero te libras del somier y puedes transportarlo fácilmente cuando te largas.Le he puesto una funda para protegerlo de la suciedad y todas las mañanas lo dejo secar porque vivo en una zona muy húmeda. Puedes ponerlo al sol directamente para que recupere la forma esponjosa. Eso sí, al principio no hay ser humano que consiga doblarlo bien salvo por sus pliegues, pero luego se vuelve blandito y es como una esterilla de yoga ultra deluxe para dormir.En definitiva: una gozada. Mis próximos colchones serán todos de estilo futón; y eso que soy alérgico a los ácaros del polvo.

This is a great bed, however it is extremely important to point out that this bed is not going to be for everyone, it’s most likely not going to be what you’re expecting at first; and it’s going to take some getting used to.The mattress with extra padding is about 3-4” thick, this doesn’t mean that it’s plush though; it’s comfortable, but don’t expect to sink into the mattress like it’s a feather bed or memory foam.Getting a tatami sleeping mat, or similar sleeping mat for underneath the futon is essential, especially if your house has hardwood floors. The mat underneath adds comfort and also helps keep your mattress clean.This is a Higher Maintenance Mattress than Western Mattresses. Mold grows easily in these mattresses, mites are also attracted to them easily-keep this in mind if you live in a hot, humid climate. The mattress must be aired out anywhere from once a week to twice or more. To air them out, they should ideally be hung out on a clothes line in the sun, or on a clothing rack/chairs/etc. to allow it to dry.This is also where the folding everything up comes into play. It’s highly discouraged to leave a Futon like this laying out flat for days at a time, due to higher risk of attracting mold. So even if it’s not time to air out the mattress, you still should be folding up the sleeping mat, the futon, and your bedding; this way it’s not laying flat permanently.On the bright side, I’ve never slept better than I have on this, but that’s just me. I’m a light sleeper, the tension in western beds wakes me easily, for some reason I personally find myself in pain after sleeping on a western mattress for too long. I still experience some pain sleeping on this mattress, but I’m still getting used to it, however, I don’t feel any tension with this Mattress at all. I wake up far less than I used to.It also does help with back pain...BUT! This bed is not for everyone, it should not be taken as a miracle cure for back problems, or more serious forms of chronic back pain. However it does force the body to engage back muscles we often don’t use, I personally find that it’s been helpful, but that is just how my body’s responding.If none of this has deterred you yet, then I’d say the futon is worth a try. If you’re genuinely having some doubts after reading all of that, that’s good too. Hopefully some of this might’ve helped you make an informed decision.

I mainly got this mattress for sleeping on the floor until I figure out getting a real mattress for my new apartment. So far I've slept 4 days on it and I like the firmness of it (combined with a somewhat fluffy carpet beneath) I can see why people say this is a very thin mattress but if it's placed on top of carpet it can be very comfortable for a back sleeper I think. I tend to go between back sleeping and side sleeping and it's a little uncomfortable for side sleeping but not extremely... There's really no difference in how I'm sleeping on this compared to a conventional mattress, I roll around as much as I did before. I mostly like it but may look into other thicker floor mattresses for my guests (once it retires to the closet) as I can't say everyone will enjoy it!

I really like this futon. I bought the twin XL and sheet combo, which I recommend. The sheet is a fitted sheet, and fits over the futon quite well. The sheet has plenty of material so it won’t come off accidentally. I love how much floor space I have in my bedroom now. It’s a little firm when it’s directly on the floor for my taste (I’m a side sleeper). After doing some more reading about futons, it seems like they are meant to be used in conjunction with a tatami mat. I’ve got one on order and I’m pretty confident it will sort my situation out when it arrives.
