The Stratosphere Futon Frame Cushioning System. 7 1/2 oz. twill fabric provides proper strength to hold the tuft in the mattress.. 7" of fantastic minimum 2.0 pound density foam provides the ability to keep the mattress looking and feeling great. Machine tuft reduces the thickness of the mattress to lock in its look and feel.
A dense covering of polyester gives the mattress a clean finished look. The tape edge process insures a proper fit and finish of the mattress cover. Bench Built - hand made quality assures uniformity and quality control on each futon. Box Edges - for a TRUE reading of thickness, 8" or 6" Overstuffed - generous amounts (approx. 12") of different combinations of highly resilient foam and fiber that create an "inside out" force against the mattress ticking that is necessary for proper and comfortable support, whether sitting or sleeping. Tape Edge Closure - expert mattress tailoring operation that seals the comfort inside the mattress, insures proper placement of materials in the cover and reinforces the edges to present a clean tailored look instead of a "haphazardly stuffed look." Compression Lace Tufting - This customized process alone will differentiate an Otis futon from any other! CLT serves to compress, strengthen and control the overstuffed cushioning materials.
Our "button-less" tufting process forces the foam, fibers, springs an mattress fabric to work together to create a supportive synergy that produces a comfort level unique to each mattress� bottom line, your mattress will feel as supportive as it did on the first day. Important to know when talking about thickness Thickness can be a relative term in the mattress industry! Normally, when someone says this mattress is 8"...it is 8"thick, or if they say it's 10"�you expect to see a ten-inch mattress, not some rounded mattress that is guessed to be about 10" thick basically for marketing purposes only! The only true way to decipher the actual thickness of the mattress is to have a measurable border material (or a boxed edge, like a traditional mattress does). All of our futon mattresses are bench built and are made with a boxed corner and are tape-edged�this is just part of our signature manufacturing process. The bonus is that the "thickness" of the futon is easily deciphered, and it leaves the mattress with a clean tailored look for many years.
Key Value Messages for Otis Futons To supply a cushioning product that is of outstanding overall value, which results in the end user being willing to refer Otis Bed to others. The aim for our mattresses is simple. To be as comfortable as they are durable. Comfortable - to be as comfy, if not more so than traditional upholstered sofas when being used as a couch. Also, to be flexible and conformable so as not to cause painful, unhealthy pressure points *(which affect circulation to joints and surrounding tissue) for the occasional or every night sleeper. "As a supplier of pressure management therapy mattresses to the health care industry, we feel uniquely qualified to present mattress constructions with these claims." Durable - While nothing lasts forever, this futon mattress is engineered to keep its shape and resist change in firmness on the edge and other critical sitting and sleeping areas better than any cotton based futon mattress construction.More resilient top quality cushioning materials.
Futon Overcovers: Standard futon covers were made to fit futons that are 6 inches thick. Standard covers fit our 6-inch thick futons ONLY! Some futon mattresses made with cotton, or cotton and foam, or even innersprings that claim to be 8 or 9" inches thick will still fit inside these standard covers due to the above reasons..Our true 8"thick futon mattresses need a true 8" thick cover. If you try to squeeze our futons into a smaller cover it will alter the feel of the futon and make it even harder to bend into the frame. We recommend an 8" box cornered cover! Grip Strips are also a necessary item for high performance futons�to keep them in place and sit properly!

For centuries, the people of Japan have had to make the best of the little space available. The average family had one room, which served all purposes-eating, sleeping, working, and living. Out of this grew the Japanese futon. Now J-Life International, Inc. brings this Japanese concept to the American public. All of our custom futon bedding items are made of high quality 100% cotton fabric from Japan. They are made in the U.S. by highly skilled craftsmen using traditional materials and designs. The average life of our Futon bedding items is 7-22 years (depending on usage, averaging 15 years). To take advantage of the complete Japanese futon sleep experience, we recommend the entire set consisting of the Kake Futon (comforter blanket), Shiki Futon (natural cotton filled futon to sleep on) and Soba Gara Makura - Buckwheat Hull Pillow. Shiki Futons - the Japanese Mattress:
The premise behind a Shiki Futon is not to be a cheap alternative to a bed but rather to be a complete sleep system. However, your level of desired comfort depends on a number of factors. The most important factor when considering how much of the sleep system to purchase is what you are sleeping on now. Your body and all its muscles adjust to your sleeping surface over time (average adjustment time is 1 week to any new surface). Just as you may wakeup feeling sore or uncomfortable or get a poor night's sleep in a hotel room, you may have a short adjustment period to your new futon. This largely depends on what you are transitioning from. If you have been sleeping on an American Futon that is typically 6-12 inches in thickness or a sofa (or directly on the floor), the Shiki Futon will be heaven in comparison. If you have been sleeping on a pillow top mattress, and transition over, you may find the Shiki Futon a bit firm. The best way to determine your needs is to purchase the Shiki Futon to start.
Try it for at least a week. If you feel that you need additional support or comfort, purchase the 3-Fold Mattress. Everyone is unique in their sleep needs and only you know what you need however, we have found in hundreds of cases that most people who have suffered a bad back and cannot sleep for more than a couple of hours at a time due to muscle soreness, etc. have seen some type of improvement by using our Shiki Futon. This is due to the proper posture attained by sleeping on a firmer surface and adding our Soba Gara Makura (Buckwheat Hull Pillow) for proper body alignment. This is a true Japanese shiki futon. There is no foam, wool or innersprings in the J-Life Futon. All J-Life Futons meet US federal flammability requirements.. Made in the USA, the J-Life Futon is also hand made but the use of American manufacturing techniques have resulted in a much more effiicient process that allows us to bring this premium futon to you at a significant savings in cost. Covered in a tough 7 ounce white twill material, this futon will stand up to daily use for many years.
Additonally, most users do not require any additional padding (such as a tri-fold mattress) to be completely comfortable. Our silk-filled J-Life kakefutons are fit for an emperor. Once forbidden to all but the imperial families of Japan and China, kakefuton filled with light, supple, hand pulled mulberry silk are the ultimate in comfort. Silk fibers constantly equalize temperature eliminating hot and cold spots in the comforter. They also wick away moisture and dissipate it better than cotton, down or polyester. Also, unlike down and cotton/poly filled comforters, silk is hypo-allergenic and inhospitable to dust mites. It is also mildew resistant. And, best of all, these comforters can be cleaned! Silk filled kakefutons can be dry cleaned. The removable custom covers are machine washable. This is an improvement over the cotton/poly filled kakefutons available today which cannot be cleaned or dry cleaned. Buckwheat Hull Pillows (Soba Gara Makura) The Japanese Buckwheat Hull Pillow (or "Soba Gara Makura" as it is called in Japan) has been around for many centuries and still continues to be the most popular pillow used by modern day Japan.
This pillow allows you to sleep comfortably in the correct position while keeping your spine in perfect alignment. It offers firm yet comfortable support and will keep your head and neck cool by absorbing the sweat and heat and allowing it to dissipate. Our Japanese Buckwheat Hull Pillows are made of 100% thoroughly cleansed organic buckwheat. Our hulls are specially polished to sit well with each other and fit the contours of your head and neck and give the perfect amount of support. Each pillow is covered in our traditional Japanese futon fabric that is imported directly from Japan. Each Soba Gara Makura, Japanese Buckwheat Pillow comes with a traditional matching pillow case (open on both ends). This case is completely machine washable and made from a vegetable dyed cotton. The Soba Gara Makura Buckwheat Hull pillow must be sunned outdoors occasionally to avoid moisture retention in the contents of the organic buckwheat hulls. In Japan (as in most of the world), tension headaches are very common.
This is a result of increasing stress levels at home and in the workplace. The phenomenon of this tension headache is known to the Japanese as "Katakori". The best remedy for Katakori is the Soba Gara Makura. When your muscles are in their preferred position of proper cervical curvature they will not have to work so hard during the night. Your muscles can relax. While your muscles are relaxing your nerves can then heal from the daily irritation of head, back and arm movements. This naturally increases your body comfort and allows you to fall asleep faster.Sleeping is one of the most important things we do. Proper sleep affects how we perform throughout the day. The better we sleep, the better our performance. In spite of the importance of sleep, most pillows were not designed to properly support the body to ensure a good night's sleep. But with the Soba Gara Makura Buckwheat pillow you will sleep in a proper position and your muscles will be able to relax. The relaxation of your muscles will ease body pain, giving you a better and more thorough sleep.
