A shikibuton, or folding foam bed, is a versatile and space-saving bedding option inspired by traditional Japanese design. Known for its simplicity and practicality, the shikibuton is a lightweight, flexible mattress that can be easily folded and stored when not in use. This makes it an ideal choice for those who live in small spaces, need temporary bedding for guests, or simply want a convenient, eco-friendly sleep solution.
At The Futon Shop, we offer a variety of folding foam beds and shikibutons that combine comfort, convenience, and sustainability. These beds can be set up in seconds, providing a quick and comfortable sleeping arrangement for unexpected guests, children’s rooms, or even daily use in homes with limited space. Plus, the removable and washable covers make maintaining your folding bed a breeze!
