Nice to find a japanese style futon

Nice to find a japanese style futon, made here in the U.S. without being made of foam. Really fair prices, feels like good quality, and helps a business in my state. The shipping hurts, but that cannot be helped.

Firm but it ain't what it is advertised to be

The futon was described as Firm but I feel that there is not enough stuffing(cotton) in it to keep it firm. I am not happy because I sink into it and it is not comfortable.

Satisfactory

Website was easy to use for ordering. Felt 17 days to receive product was a bit lengthy. While construction and workmanship is excellent, the quality of material I selected is disappointing. The zipper is only at one end of the cover, my previous cover zippered on 3 sides.

Great selection

Great selection! Purchased 12/2/17 and currently 12/16/17: haven't heard or received anything re: shipping. Looking forward to either hearing from somebody or receiving the purchased item relatively soon.

We received our futon in a timely …

We received our futon in a timely fashion and well packaged. We love this futon! We could not find a mattress that met both of our needs that was affordable, and this has been a God -send product for good sleep. I have a lot of allergies and yes there is a mild smell of linseed oil, but it quickly dissipates. No problems- very happy with this product!

5 inch Shiki futon not very comfortable

I ordered a 5 inch organic Shiki futon and it is so uncomfortable! It is advertised as being very soft and good for people with back pain, and it is comfortable when you first lay on it, but it compresses quite quickly and feels just like sleeping on the floor and has definitely caused me more pain.

As far as my experience of the store, I found the process of making the order quite easy. The order then took much longer than expected to be ready, and then they couldn’t find it when it was ready and we came to the store to pick it up. We were able to convince them to keep looking and they did finally find our order.

Everyone was very friendly and they seem to have a lot of selection.

Very pleased with the futon

The futon arrived at the expected time; it was well packaged; and I was impressed with the product. The cover of the futon was pretty with the brocade pattern and well fitted the futon. The futon itself was stuffed well with uniform firmness. I am impressed with the product and grateful to have purchased it with a discount.

Customer service is non-existent.

Ran into an issue when placing an order and it wouldn't complete. Followed all of their steps to report the problem. Followed that up with an e-mail a week later. Now, over two weeks later and still nothing outside of automated e-mails saying we still have items in our cart and we should contact them if we're having issues. Useless company.

Mattress softness rating

Everything good except how they rate softness/Firmness of mattresses. Some people prefer a firmer mattress so The Futon Shop shouldn't be scared to rate a mattress firmer.

The extra long twin was a perfect fit

The extra long twin was a perfect fit, highly improves the decor in my guest room, allowing the spare bed to be smell free and beautiful. I just pull out the linen when company arrives to convert it to a bed. I got the organic linen green with farm animal print. So pretty. Good investment.
