Many people in Japan do not sleep on a bed, they sleep on a futon. In the West, a futon is usually a couch that turns into a bed, but a Japanese futon is very different.
A futon consists of two parts: a Shiki Buton and a Kake Buton. A Shiki Buton is what you sleep on, and a Kake Buton is the comforter. They are taken out of the closet at night, placed on the floor, and in the morning they are folded and put back in the closet.
Delivery time: 2-3 weeks. It will be sent directly from a Japanese manufacturer.
Why are they not called a Shiki Futon and a Kake Futon? Because the words shiki and kake work as adjectives. Often, when there is an adjective, a word's pronounciation changes, like in this case, Futon changes to Buton.
