FAQs
What makes this futon different from a traditional Japanese futon?
This KARUP futon incorporates 5-10% polyester into the cotton filling, resulting in greater density and a 13 cm thickness, providing more substantial support than very thin, traditional Japanese futons.
Is this futon suitable for everyday sleeping?
Yes, its firm comfort and durable construction make it suitable for daily use, especially for individuals who prefer a firm mattress.
How often should I air out the futon?
It is recommended to uncover and ventilate the futon daily to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup.
Can I wash the entire futon mattress?
No, the entire futon mattress should not be machine washed or soaked. Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. Using a sheet cover is the best way to keep it clean.
What is the material of the cover?
The cover is made from 100% natural cotton.
How do I restore the futon's puffiness if it seems flattened?
Regularly rolling and folding the futon in different directions helps to redistribute the filling and restore its original shape and puffiness.
Where is this futon made?
This futon is fabricated and handmade in Europe.
Troubleshooting
Futon feels too firm initially
The futon is designed for firm comfort. It may feel firmer than expected at first. Allow a break-in period of a few nights. Ensure you are using it on a supportive frame, as a sagging frame can exacerbate firmness.
Unevenness or slight lumpiness after use
This can occur with handmade cotton products. Try rolling and folding the futon in different directions regularly to redistribute the filling and restore an even surface.
Moisture or mildew smell
Ensure the futon is uncovered and ventilated daily. If a smell persists, expose it to direct sunlight (if possible) for a few hours on a dry day, ensuring it doesn't get wet. Avoid storing in humid conditions.
Small differences in size or weight
This is normal for handmade items. The dimensions are approximate, and slight variations are part of the handcrafted nature of the product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
This futon is designed to be compatible with most standard futon frames, particularly those that fold or recline.
Care Instructions:
- Daily Ventilation: Uncover the futon during the day to allow it to air out. This helps prevent moisture buildup and keeps the mattress fresh.
- Regular Rotation: To maintain its shape and ensure even wear, regularly roll and fold the futon in different directions.
- Cleaning Stains: For localized stains, use a slightly damp, colorless cloth with a small amount of clear dish soap. Gently dab the affected area. Follow up by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- General Cleaning: Use a sheet to cover the futon mattress. This protects the fabric and makes it easier to keep clean. Avoid machine washing or soaking the entire mattress.
- Restoring Puffiness: If the futon loses its loft, roll and fold it in various directions to help restore its original shape and puffiness.
