Shikibutons are commonly folded and stored away in a closet every morning, along with any pillows and blankets. They are generally light and found in most tatami mat rooms. Comfortable to sleep on, great for
the back and a convenient way to host an unexpected guest.
Due to their cotton fill, they cannot be soaked or washed in a laundry machine. The only way to maintain these shikibutons is to hang them out in the hot sun and let the heat of the sun puff up the cotton and its UV light kill the small mites that may reside on the shikibuton. Over time, these shikibutons will compress due to regular use, so diligent maintenance is crucial to its longevity.
