What is a futon?
Many people do not know it by name, but futon is a quilt, which can be used as a sofa, replacing mattresses, covering benches and chairs and as a puff indoors and outdoors.
The futon is low, malleable and flexible, these features allow it to be folded in different ways. And you can put it away easily, because of the ties on the sides.

The filling varies from one model to another, but it can be foam, cotton or materials of synthetic origin. The outer covering can be made of cotton, polyester, canvas and noble fabrics such as silk and linen.

What style of futon suits me?
The term futon is used to designate other pieces, such as the Kakibushi, Shikibuton, Zabuton, Zafu and Turkish puff. We'll talk about the characteristics of each model throughout this section.

Shikibuton
The shikibuton is the most used type because it replaces the mattress. This model is rectangular and can be dense or malleable. It should be placed on top of a mat or structure for comfort.

Did you know that in Japan, people believe that sleeping close to the ground ensures that the earth absorbs the bad energies, renews the good ones, and provides a more restful sleep?
The shikibuton traditional, is thin, but very firm and, together with the lower height of the bed, brings some health benefits such as improved blood circulation, muscle relaxation and proper sleeping posture.

Kakibushi
The Kakibushi is a type of foldable puff which can also be used as a small mattress. It is ideal for those who have little space at home, as it can be easily stored.


The Kakibushi futon can be used as a small mattress.

Zabuton
The zabuton is shaped similar to a pillow , so it is used on benches, sofas or chairs. This style of futon can be made from cotton or noble fabrics such as silk and linen.

Zafu
The zafu is also similar to a pillow, the big difference being the round shape. The zafu is often used as a meditation cushion as it helps to maintain balance and good posture.

Turkish puff
The Turkish puff is ideal for outdoor areas as it can be used directly on the floor and is thicker than the other models. The casing is usually made of moisture and heat resistant materials.

Where can I use futon?
The futon can be used in various rooms in the house: in the living room, children's and adults' bedrooms and in outdoor areas such as balconies, verandas and gardens.
In the living room, you can place the futon on a rug or on top of a wooden frame. In this environment, the futon serves as a sofa, but it doesn't take up as much space as it is smaller and lower.

An excellent choice for living room is the kakibushi , replacing the sofa. You can also distribute some zabutons or zafus on the floor for people to sit on.

In the bedroom, the futon can serve as a single or double bed, if placed on top of a mat or structure. Futon is also an excellent option if you usually have guests at home.

In the children's room, the futon is an excellent option, as it gives the child freedom to move without the risk of falling from great heights, stimulates learning and observation skills.

This is the philosophy of the Montessorian method, which suggests replacing the conventional crib with a futon, so as not to confine the little ones between bars. If you are going to test the method, it is worth consulting an expert.

For the rooms, we suggest that you choose a Shikibuton futon , you can find single or double models.

In outdoor areas it is recommended to look for a futon coated with acrylic fabric, waterproof or at least buy a cover with these characteristics, to protect the futon from the action of sunlight and humidity.

Our suggestion is to use a Turkish puff, designed for outdoor environments. You can also place a kakibushi to be used as a sofa or puff .

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a futon?

• Futon has numerous advantages in addition to versatility of use. One is that it takes up little space, giving the feeling that the room is larger. Besides, being a neutral object, the futon adapts to any style of decoration.
• The futon is easy to handle as it is light and flexible, so you can change its position whenever you want to test new possibilities for use. In addition, this quilt is ideal for those who do not adapt or do not like very high beds.

One downside is that proximity to the floor makes the mattress more susceptible to dirt (this is one of the reasons Japanese people don't wear shoes at home).

If you are buying a futon to sleep ( shikibuton ), choose with caution, as some models are uncomfortable. The ideal is to buy a model with greater thickness, so that you can adapt gradually.

Benefits

• Optimizes room space
• Adapts to different styles of decor
• There are five styles of futon, in different shapes, materials and indications for use.
• It's light and easy to handle
• The futon serves as a bed, sofa, puff and cushion

Disadvantages

• Some models are uncomfortable
• Proximity to the ground increases exposure to dirt
• As it is shorter, it is difficult to combine the futon with other furniture in the house.
• At first, it's hard to get used to the lower height

How to save the futon?
To prolong the futon's life, you need to take certain precautions. Cleaning must be done dry, with a vacuum cleaner and never with water, as the coating and filling are made of fabric.
Any dirt and stains should be removed with a little water and mild soap, but the procedure should be done quickly, so that moisture does not penetrate the fabric layers.

Occasionally, try turning it over, as we do with the mattress, to avoid deformations in the structure and the unevenly fading of the piece.

To avoid musty smell, it is essential to put the futon to "take air" from time to time. The sun will also do well in this regard, but avoid leaving it for a long time, as the sun's rays damage the fabric.



How much?
Futon prices vary, the cheapest are the zabuton and zafu models , which start at R$15. You can find excellent quality options for up to R$50 and more expensive versions, which reach R$200.
The kakibushi also has affordable prices, there are cheaper models between R$ 80 and R$ 150. If you choose one that already comes with a solid wood structure, the price goes up to around R$ 1,500.

The shikibuton is the most expensive model, costs between R$700 (single) and R$1,000 (double), but these prices do not include the structure.

Where to buy?
You can find several futon models in physical stores such as:

• Futon Company
• Leroy Merlin
• Westwing
• If you prefer to buy online, take a look at the following virtual stores: Amazon, Mercado Livre and Americanas.

Let's explain each of the items below.

Model
There are five futon models: Kakibushi, Shikibuton, Zabuton, Zafu and the Turkish puff. We explain the characteristics of each one and the indications for use in the table below, check it out:

Indication of use    Format    Benefits

Turkish puff    In outdoor areas, directly on the floor    Square and thicker cushion    Waterproof fabric coating
Zafu    to meditate    round pillow    Helps maintain good posture

Structure
The structure of the futon varies, there are thinner models, with a thickness of 5 centimeters and taller ones with about 15 cm, enriched with latex to avoid deformations in the structure.

The filling can be cotton, foam or synthetic materials. The coating can be cotton, polyester, acrylic and sophisticated fabrics such as silk and linen.

Design
You can find futon models in different styles: plain, geometric, floral, striped prints, etc. You can mix prints from the same color palette to make the environment elegant.


The futon looks good in any environment, bringing a lot of coziness.
You can also find models in just one color pattern:

• White : Gives a neutral touch to the decor;
• Red : Brings personality to space;
• Blue : Ensures a modern look;
• Gray : It is an excellent choice for children's rooms, as it hides the dirt.

Base
The futon base can be made of wood, metal, steel, masonry or pallets of different materials. The platform can be adapted to receive shelves and drawers, to optimize the organization of the room.


Choose a base that matches the rest of the environments. Choose the futon structure well, pallets, for example, are cheaper, but the durability is low. If the platform is complete, ventilation decreases and care with cleaning and hygiene doubles.
