Raw Cotton Saucing Location

We directly import cotton from the Murata Group in Gujarat, India’s largest cotton-producing region.

We use non-genetically modified, native varieties of cotton. In the clothing industry, long-fiber cotton, which is more comfortable to wear as clothing, is preferred and is being bred, but the cotton needed for futons is a native species. The characteristic of this cotton is its fiber thickness, which provides strong support, making it an ideal variety for use in mattresses. It is certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), one of the world’s most reliable organic certifications.

GOTS certification is not only about ensuring that the raw fibers are organic; it also guarantees that all processes—from harvesting, processing, manufacturing, to distribution—are conducted in environmentally and socially responsible ways, with measures in place to prevent contamination or mixing with non-organic products.

Below are the initiatives of Murata Group’s contract farmers, who comply with GOTS regulations and receive advice from CB:
• Soil Management: Using only organic fertilizers and crop rotation and avoiding synthetic inputs.
• Pest and Weed Management: Implementing IPM practices; using mechanical and biological methods.
• Seeds and Planting Material: Using only organic, non-GMO seeds.
• Water Management: Conserving water, ensuring clean irrigation sources and storage and reuse of water in Monsoons
• Post-Harvest Handling: Preventing contamination with non-organic products and practices
• Environmental Sustainability: Reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable land use.
• Social Responsibility: Following fair labor practices and ensuring worker well-being.
• Regular Inspections: Complying with regular inspections by the certifying body.

To select the correct futon size

Please note that what we show on our site is the size of the futon fabric. If it is filled with cotton, it will be about 4 inches (10 cm) shorter in length and width.

Example : Futon Mattress – Single 78” x 39” (200 x 100 cm) will be 74″ x 35″ (190 x 90 cm) when you receive.

If you are planning to place the futon mattress on your bed, and want to fit them perfectly, please be aware of it and select carefully.

Thickness

Shiki Futon (Futon Mattress) at the time of delivery is very fluffy and voluminous, measuring over 4” (10 cm) in the thickest center position but after about one week of usage the fluffiness will begin to settle, and the mattress will transform into a stiffer, denser futon. After about two to three months of use, the cotton padding becomes even thinner (more constricted) and the futon will become about half of its original thickness. Although the volume decreases, the cotton fiber’s “support features” become activated and the futon becomes a mattress that will support your proper sleeping posture.
