Tiny House Project: Shikibuton (futon mattress)
I needed a new bed. When I moved I got rid of my 10 year old mattress and I wanted to research my next bed. My goal it to live simply and efficiently. I didn’t want a luxury box spring, mattress and frame. I wanted something that was very comfy, but also easy to move. Another selling point for me was it being small primarily designed for one person.
Shikibuton
I found out about shikibuton while I was researching futon mattresses. Its basically the futon mattress. The one I selected is 9″ thick and has 6 layers of organic wool, cotton and individually wrapped coil springs. It’s wonderful.
Tatami Mat
Now I need the base and I’m not sure if I’m going to go the traditional route of tatami mat or the more practical route of norka Chicago frame.
