D&D Futon FurnitureBlack Trifold Foam Beds 3 x 27 X 75 in, Shikibuton, Foldable Mats, High Density Foam 1.8 lb

Let me preface this review by saying that I purchased this particular shikibuton to act as a base for the roll up shikibuton and I do not expect to use the tri fold alone as my bed. However, if my son decides to sleep in my room as he sometimes does I can easily take the roll up one off and let him sleep on the tri fold. I purchased two of these tri-fold shikibuton and two roll-up style shikibutons on August 6 and paid for expedited shipping and just received both packages yesterday afternoon (the 12th). They shipped from CA to NC. The tri-fold shikibutons came shrink wrapped together in a large square box and the roll ups came shrink wrapped in a cylindrical cardboard box that was nearly as as tall as I am and about a foot in diameter. Upon taking them out of their wrappings there is a definite hay like odor. It smells pleasantly like the feed stall in a horse barn. The smell was solely on the roll-up shikibuton and, as of this writing, has dissipated noticeably though it is still present. I promptly laid out the tri-fold shikibuton on the floor and placed the roll-up shikibuton on top of it so that it could regain its shape (the tri-fold, being made of foam, did not require this). I was concerned that the roll-up would hang off of the tri-fold since I had not noticed at purchasing time that the tri-fold is several inches shorter than the roll-up. This has not been the case. The roll-up shikibuton looks to be exactly the same length as the tri-fold so I am happy about that. I purchased both twin and xl twin sheet sets to see which would work better and what I ended up doing last night was putting the twin fitted sheets on the roll up and simply tucking the excess betwixt the two mattresses. I then placed a flat sheet over that and my down comforter on top of that to act as the "kakebuton". Anything "xl" was unnecessary. The feel of the bed is difficult to describe. Both the tri-fold and roll-up have different "textures" to them though they are both firm. The roll-up is thick, dense but not heavy and firm and when pressed firmly it does not yield very much. The tri-fold is also very firm and feels very much like a good quality outdoor chair pad. The three sections are individually zippered and all three zippered sections are sewn together so you can remove the foam from its cover. When pressed firmly there is a little give but not too much and I imagine that a person's weight distributed over the whole mattress would yield a nice overall give without rocketing to the floor. The roll up on top of the tri-fold feels lovely. There is a somewhat springy give and I do not find it to be too firm at all, however that is with both pieces and I will update my post should I have the chance to sleep on each singly. Size wise the mattresses both appear to be 29" W x 75" L and 3" D. I was able to snuggle with my eight-year-old daughter only when we lay facing each other and I had my arms wrapped around her. I would not be able to sleep like that though. I sleep on my back and, infrequently, my side so I needed the space and she has her own shikibuton set up to sleep on. The only way I can conceive of two people sharing this bed would be if someone who is as small (or smaller) as I am (5'2" 115lbs) were sleeping on their side with a newborn baby and they wrapped their arm over the top of the child. For any other scenario I would simply get a wider bed. For some reason that I've yet to fathom the roll-up has a zipper at the base of the cover yet is tufted and unable to shift out of its cover. Perhaps it had to do with ease of construction? I placed both sets of beds two feet apart so my daughter could hold my hand while she drifted off. The beds are directly on the carpet. I have considered getting a sisal, jute or bamboo rug to place underneath just to complete the look of the room though I find it to be unnecessary for any reason other than that. I would not use a tatami mat in NC since it is very humid, very hot and we have lots of bugs in this state. I really wanted one but reconsidered aft seeing what problems mold could wreak on a tatami. As for sleep, I was quite comfortable. I slept deeply and undisturbed as I usually am by my squirming, overly-warm daughter (hence, why I purchased two sets of beds) who seems to delight in invading my space. It was wonderful to be able to sleep without a forearm to the face or small head ramming into my rib cage. Heavenly! I woke with no back pain nor stiff joints. I feel great. I wish that I had bought these years ago. As I mentioned earlier in my post I shall update this further into my use of these and I shall try to upload some pictures of our setup. Please feel free to ask any questions I do try to answer promptly.

I have terrible insomnia and it sucks, but this mat is a godsend. Many nights I can't sleep, and instead of bothering my girlfriend I used to try and curl up on the couch in the living room, watch TV and try to get an hour of sleep or so after collapsing exhausted. The couch is way too small for me, the floor is too hard, and I was miserable. I decided to order this mat to try and make my nights more bearable, and I've got to say that this mat is extremely comfortable. It's like memory foam -- has some firmness but gives too -- and I can't feel the floor underneath me. I still have trouble sleeping, but at least my legs don't kill from a cramped couch when I finally get up for the day. I bought a king-sized comforter too ( Chezmoi Collection White Goose Down Alternative Comforter, King with Corner Tab , which is awesome), wrap up like a burrito, and the combination puts me in a more relaxed mood since it's so cozy. I have fallen asleep on the mat -- at night, during the day for a nap, and recently while at home sick with a bad cold -- and I love it. My girlfriend thinks it's really comfy too. I like that it folds up easily, so I keep it in the corner of the living room with the comforter folded up on top for easy use when I'm delirious in the middle of the night.This mat hasn't cured my insomnia -- I never expected it to -- and I don't mean to be depressing. I just thought it might be helpful to be honest about what I use it for in case it might be helpful to others. But this mat definitely has helped make my bad nights more bearable, and I've gotten more sleep since getting it. I'm 6 ft tall, approx 205 lbs btw.

Received this little futon way before the expected delivery date. We were surprised as the box it came in was super small. As another reviewer stated it was vacuumed packed and expanded once open.I didn't realize how narrow it is but it will work for our 4 year old who still co-sleeps. We're trying to get her out of our bed so hopefully this will be a good transition.It is very comfortable and not too firm or hard. I ordered another one to place side by side so our little one will have more than enough room to spread out. Great for taking naps in pretty much any room in our house and it folds so wont take up much space.Good Seller and quick. Thank you!-M
