And if you want to keep the versatility of the shikibuton but want a softer sleep experience, \u003cb\u003etry layering two or more shikibutons on top of each other or adding a topper for a customized and customizable bed set-up\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganic shikibutons work best when used with a \u003cstrong\u003eTatami Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTatami Mat\u003c\/strong\u003e set-up, which best emulates the traditional tatami mat flooring used in Japan. Preferable to the floor or bed slats (slats can be felt through a single or even two shikibutons), tatami mats allow the shikibuton to rest on a flat, solid surface while still being able to properly breathe. Good ventilation will make your shikibuton last longer. For a truly traditional experience, match your new shikibuton with an \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Buckwheat Pillow\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur shikibutons, like all of Soaring Heart's mattresses, are made of only the highest quality materials using time-honored construction techniques. Your shikibuton should last you eight to ten years with proper maintenance (see care tab), although we have many customers who are still comfortably using Soaring Heart shikibutons bought fifteen years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertified Organic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we say all natural and organic, we mean it. Since 1982 Soaring Heart Natural Bed Company has been making mattresses and bedding using time-tested techniques, honed and polished over three decades. Soaring Heart makes everything by hand and uses only the highest quality, certified organic, materials available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoaring Heart works closely with our suppliers. We travel to their operations, getting to know them and their materials. We collaborate with our suppliers so we can meet and exceed our exacting standards. We take huge pride in our products and in all the people behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's because of these special relationships with our suppliers and their wonderful organic wool, organic latex, organic cotton and their commitment to upholding organic certifications that we aren’t forced to spoil our products with chemicals or synthetics. No Soaring Heart product has any chemical-based foam or synthetic fire retardants whatsoever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur latex is made from pure rubber tree sap, we use organic wool as our fire barrier and it is selected from only the finest sheep farms in New Zealand, and our Cotton is 100% organically grown in the cotton fields of Texas. Nothing but good, honest organic materials provided by good, honest people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wool and cotton encasements in this product are GOTS certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 4 in.

Latex and innerspring mattress need to be kept on slats. Not keeping your latex or innerspring mattress on a slatted frame or foundation will void its warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe more air that can circulate around all surfaces of your natural bed, the better. When not exposed to air, cotton can begin to mildew because the temperature difference between your body heat passing through the futon and the relative coldness of a non-breathable surface (the floor, solid plywood, etc...) can allow condensation to build up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse an All Natural Mattress Pad For Prevention\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo prevent body moisture from getting into your bed (which can prematurely compress and harden the natural fibers and make your bed lumpy and uncomfortable), always sleep with one of our all natural organic cotton pads. Don't use a poly-blend pad. They aren't absorbent and can cause you to perspire more during sleep. Wash and dry your natural mattress pad with your sheets. Make sure the pad is completely dry before putting it back on your bed, and your mattress will stay clean and in good shape for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlip \u0026amp; Rotate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake sure your organic futon or shikibuton wears evenly (avoiding body impressions) by flipping and rotating it regularly, so you end up sleeping on all different parts of the bed equally. We recommend doing this once a week for the first month, then once every other week thereafter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGive Your Bed a Sun Bath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA couple times a year, on a sunny day, put your futon, shikibuton, or topper outside in the sun for an hour or two on each side. It's like giving your bed a natural dry-cleaning. The sun fluffs and revitalizes the fibers, discourages microbial growth, and evaporates any residual moisture. Does not apply to latex - latex can be deteriorated by sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSoaring Heart Shipping, Delivery \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur standard \u003ca href=\"\/policies\/shipping-policy\"\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/policies\/refund-policy\"\u003eReturn and Refund Policy\u003c\/a\u003e cover this product.
