When you think of a Japanese bedroom, you may imagine a traditional
Japanese-style bedding, “Futon” in a Tatami-mat room.
What kind of bedding is the recent mainstream of Japanese houses?

 
Bed or Japanese-style Futon?

A Japanese-style futon is different from a western-style futon which is folded
into a sofa on a sofa bed-futon frame.
A complete Japanese-style futon set consists of a mattress and a duvet.
Traditionally, futons are used on tatami, a type of mat used as a flooring
material.
Since a Japanese-style futon bedding set are pliable enough to be folded and
stored away in a large closet during the day.

Japanese-style futon

A type of sofa is called Futon in the U.S.

Do most Japanese people sleep on Japanese-style futons?
Families with small children also use futon for children for convenience and
safety.
Japanese rooms are a relatively smaller, so to save space for a bed, a futon is
sometimes used.

However, the trend is that fewer houses have Japanese-style rooms these days,
and more people are sleeping in beds.
To reduce the burden of standing and sitting, some people switch from the futon
to bed when they get older.

Bed sizes in Japan

Japanese bed mattresses come with a constant length of 195cm (77 inches),
regardless of the size you choose, and only the width varies.
There are no sizes for tall people like the Queen, King, or California King in
the US.
If you come to Japan from overseas, you may feel a little tight sleeping in the
Japanese beds.

Japanese Bed Frame

In Europe and America, using a box spring under a mattress is common. In Japan,
a box spring is not popular, you only seen in luxury hotels, but not in many
residences.
Japan platform bed, a mattress placed on a wooden platform of a bad frame, is
the mainstream Japanese bedding.
The height of the bed frame and the mattress are both lower than western
beddings.

Popular beds with storage in Japan

Beds with storage are popular in Japan.
The bed with drawers under the mattress platform is convenient for storing
things you use on a daily basis.
The bed with a flip-up mattress can be used to store large items or items that
you don’t use often.

Even though sleeping in a bed is the mainstream, some people live to sleep on a
futon. People who used to love futons tend to choose firmer mattresses when
switching to beds.
Putting away Japanese-style futon every day is a quite hassle. If you are the
person who don’t like that put futon away every day is a hassle, a bed may be
the best choice for you.
