The safety of our work process is certified by OEKO-TEX(*2). This certification is given only to products that have passed the world’s strictest inspection standards and are recognized as safe. The most strict of these requirements, Class 1, was obtained in 2023. The bioRe Project (*1)The bioRe project was initiated by the Swiss company Remei in India in 1991 and in Tanzania in 1994. It is a social project initiated for sustainable organic cotton production. The project is not just about buying cotton from the farmers, but also about making products that are environmentally friendly and socially fair in all processes, from training in organic farming to the final product, so that the people living in this region can become self-reliant.The project’s activities are also multifaceted, including education for children, infrastructure development for medical care and water sources, financial assistance for farmers, and support for women to become self-reliant. It is known as one of the largest and most advanced projects of its kind in the world.In 2002, in recognition of these achievements, the United Nations awarded this project the «Sustainable Development Partnership Award» at the 2nd World Environment Summit held in Johannesburg, the capital of the Republic of South Africa.

After about two to three months of use, the cotton padding becomes even thinner (more constricted) and the futon will become about half of its original thickness. Although the volume decreases, the cotton fiber’s «support features» become activated and the futon becomes a mattress that will support your proper sleeping posture. 【 How to Care Futon in nutshell 】 To keep your futon in the best hygienic conditions, please avoid the humidity. It is said we sweat at least one cup of water a night even in the cold season. Futon retains the moisture. Too much moisture can lead to mold and mites. It is most important to give your futon time to air out. Please fold up your futon mattress every day. The best care is leaving the futon out in the direct sunlight for about 2 hours for each side when the sunlight is strong. If it’s difficult for you because of the living environment, hang the futon or lean it against something indoors where the futon can receive as much sunlight as possible. Cotton fillings are not meant to be washed. Machine washing can lead to warping. If the fabric gets stained, please use a damp cloth to wipe. The futon cover is always recommended to protect your futon. We source quality raw cotton from India. Classic, heavy-duty machines, which have been used for over three generations, get rid of cotton chips and make the cotton suitable as futon filling. We sterilize cotton by heat. We don’t use any chemical material in any of our processes. Many kinds of cotton fabrics are in stock to meet customers’ various demands. Our skilled artisans finish more than 15 futon mattresses per day when it‘s busy. The products are then shipped to the world from our office on the lower floor of the factory. Our making process is minimal and productive at the same time. We can cut the costs of the middleman and transportation. That’s why we can offer quality products at a fair price. 【 Important Notes Regarding International Shipping】 Note 1.
