Queen Futon has replaced our old mattress (never going back)
One of my best purchases! Bought a Queen sized Futon and now my husband want king sized one and the queen sized for our spare room. Worth the price, good quality.
Looking forward to buying from Japanche again in the future
Purchased for $700.00.

Amazing mattress. Excellent service from the Japanache team.
The item matched the description. It was packaged well and it arrived on time.
The quality is great. The cotton construction is durable, it is breathable, and it allows for easy storage when I need more space. I can easily move and air the futon mattress as opposed to my previous mattress.
It took me weeks to get used to sleeping on it as I have slept on contemporary mattresses all my life. But once I got used to it, I've had great night's sleep. Sleeping on it assisted in improving my posture as well.
The perfect bedding choice for my simplistic style.
Excellent service from Mr Richard Capps.

Fabulous queen futon - won't ever go back to western bed
Bought 2 queen futons. Feels like we live in Japan again :) Very firm bedding. Neck and back (bra strap area) no longer hurt daily! Kids sleep so well too and 'fight' me for the futons. Don't know why we waited so long to buy them, should have bought them years ago!

Improved sleep of PTSD-sufferer
Fantastic advice and help to find the right product. I suffer from PTSD and have not gotten much sleep, due to the fact that I fell out of my bed because of nightmares. I started sleeping on the floor, having bought a futon of great quality that would last, was very important to me. And these guys delivered!

Very good Futon. Recommended.
Returned from Japan December 2022, sleeping on futon there. Got back pain trying to sleep in western bed again. Bought futon from Japanache couple weeks after return. Great product; swift delivery. Been wanting to get a futon for a while. Was dreading having to wade through all the google shopping online etc. Actually Japanache was the first company to come up; looked good; so just gave them a call and ordered futon that very day. It's also a nice head space and bit of exercise to fold up your bed every morning. They are light and comfortable. Thank you.

Perfect solution
I bought two single futon sets and they are absolutely beautiful and excellent quality. With limited space available, the futons are a perfect solution as they can be stored away yet be available for visitors who want to stay.

Awesome product.
I bought a futon off their site. The item arrived on time. It was properly packed and matched the description.
Since I started using the futon, I have noticed that my sleep quality has improved significantly. I now wake up rested. My sleep is undisturbed. Moreover a nagging backache that I had for months has disappeared.
The mattress is very comfortable. It's supports the spine. It is light and can easily be carried around. I can pretty much sleep anywhere now.
Naomi at Japanache is very helpful and answered my queries patiently. She also followed up to check if the futon had arrived on time.
I unreservedly recommend the product.

Hi Kim, I'm glad we got that sorted out. Unfortunately, we have to rely on carriers to deliver our goods throughout Australia.
It sounds like it was well-worth the wait.
Enjoy your futon.

Love it.
I had been thinking about purchasing a futon for a while and settled on one from Japanache after researching for a while. I wanted a bed I could put away during the day so that my room could be used differently during the day (I sharehouse, so have a malleable space is important). The semi-double is perfect for this. During the day I fold it up into the corner and I can use it as a spot to sit and read, while I then have enough floor space to do Pilates or whatever else I feel like. It did take a couple of nights to adjust to how firm it is (compared to a western mattress) but now that I've acclimatised I find it so comfy and soft.

Absolutely love my futon
Hard yet soft feeling of the Futon. Feel more hygienic to use as it can be easily move outdoor to air under the sun. It helps for my neck and shoulder pain. I sleep better compared to my previous mattress. I do not feel the movement of the person sleep beside me compared to last mattresss. I believe my futon will be durable.

Japanache Futons are lovely
Just had the futon for almost a week now, and I must say, i kinda wish I had this before when I was growing up. The moment I got my hands on it, I was absorbed in, not wanting to leave. That back problem I had for a while, completely dimenished I tell you. I get rather good sleep because my back was getting better nowadays. The futon is also quite flexible and durable too! Highly recommend it!

Japanache, was a delight to deal with.
No question was too stupid for them to answer and our requests for colours and sizes were met with fantastic suggestions.
Delivery was extremely prompt and reasonably priced.
I grew up on futon that my mother had bought in Japan. The Japanache futon are exactly the same! I love sleeping of futon mattress and I have now converted my husband too!
Highly recommend.

Top quality product and top quality customer service!
Never had a better sleep or woken up feeling as charged for the day as I did on my Futon!
Was getting a sore back on my western matress, woke up without any pain or restriction this morning on my Futon!
Authentic and durable quality. Beautifully made.
I highly recomend the product for those wishing to improve the quality of their life and the customer service was second to none. delivery from the other side of the country only took two days! Very impressed!

Hi Sara,
Thanks for your lovely review.
These are the best we can find in Japan. They are made with fresh cotton which is better than most tourists sleep on in ryokans.
Enjoy your sleep and the pain-free mornings that your futon will give you.

Worth the investment
Love this mattress, I have it just on vinyl flooring and it is definitely much harder than a traditional western type mattress but if you are used to sleeping on very hard beds or sleeping on the floor then this is super comfy.

We purchased 4 single futons about 4 5 weeks ago. Followed the instructions on the leaflet that was provided to us. We are all sleeping very well. Its like being in Japan again. Very comfortable. A bit more maintenance. I aired them all a couple of weeks ago which was great. They regained their shape after that. Dont miss my heavy mattress. Depending on your preference you might need to purchase 2 singles one on top of each other so its a bit softer.

Hello. Thinking of buying Tatami mat,Shikibuton,Kakebuton etc. Are they made of unbleached 100% organic Japanese cotton. Is tatami mat made from rice straw?
2 answers
Richard C.Japanache
Hi Noel,
Thanks for your question.
First of all, there is no cotton industry in Japan. They import all their cotton. If they have a field full of water it will have their heavily subsidised rice growing in it. Our award-winning futon manufacturers, source the best cotton available for futons in Japan. It is an unbleached, organic Mexican cotton. this is far better than the standard cotton used in Japan and 100% fresh. Most futons in Japan use recycled cotton. Our mattresses are made using the Mexican cotton which is blended with 10% polyester to keep it cooler, slow down the compaction rate and increase product longevity.
Our tatami are made using rice straw and covered with igusa (a sea grass).
All of this information is on our website for everyone to see (www.japanache.com.au)

Thanks for your review Amy. Once people convert from the old western mattress to a real futon they never go back.
