Fabric Color Option Filling Organic Cotton Filling Raw Cotton Saucing Location We directly import cotton from the Murata Group in Gujarat, India's largest cotton-producing region. We use non-genetically modified, native varieties of cotton. In the clothing industry, long-fiber cotton, which is more comfortable to wear as clothing, is preferred and is being bred, but the cotton needed for futons is a native species. The characteristic of this cotton is its fiber thickness, which provides strong support, making it an ideal variety for use in mattresses. It is certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), one of the world’s most reliable organic certifications. GOTS certification is not only about ensuring that the raw fibers are organic; it also guarantees that all processes—from harvesting, processing, manufacturing, to distribution—are conducted in environmentally and socially responsible ways, with measures in place to prevent contamination or mixing with non-organic products. Below are the initiatives of Murata Group’s contract farmers, who comply with GOTS regulations and receive advice from CB: • Soil Management: Using only organic fertilizers and crop rotation and avoiding synthetic inputs. • Pest and Weed Management: Implementing IPM practices; using mechanical and biological methods. • Seeds and Planting Material: Using only organic, non-GMO seeds. • Water Management: Conserving water, ensuring clean irrigation sources and storage and reuse of water in Monsoons • Post-Harvest Handling: Preventing contamination with non-organic products and practices • Environmental Sustainability: Reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable land use. • Social Responsibility: Following fair labor practices and ensuring worker well-being. • Regular Inspections: Complying with regular inspections by the certifying body. The cotton that has been debris removed and carded into sheets at our factory. What is a "Hadakake Futon"? There isn’t a strict definition or standard distinction between a hadakake futon and a kake futon. Both belong to the “kake futon” (quilt) category, meaning they are bedding used to cover the body. A hadakake futon is simply the lighter version, using about half the amount of cotton compared to a regular kake futon. The main difference lies in warmth: Kake futon: Warmer, thanks to a thicker cotton filling that traps heat. Hadakake futon: Lighter, more breathable, and helps prevent overheating while still providing gentle coverage. In Japan, kake futons are typically used for three seasons except summer, while hadakake futons are more common for three seasons except winter. Of course, comfort is personal—you can adjust by adding a blanket in winter, or by swapping the futon for a towel blanket on hot summer nights. Your ideal choice will depend on your climate, environment, and personal preferences. Some people enjoy the coziness of a warm futon even in summer, while others prefer the lighter feel of a hadakake futon. the weight of cotton filling Kake futon (standard quilt) Hadakake futon (thinner quilt) Single 7.9 lb / 3.6 kg 3.5 lb / 1.8 kg Single Long 9.9 lb / 4.5 kg 4.9 lb / 2.2 kg Semi Double 10.5 lb / 4.8 kg 5.2 lb / 2.4 kg Double 11.0 lb / 5.0 kg 5.5 lb / 2.5 kg Queen 12.1 lb / 5.5 kg 6.0 lb / 2.7 kg We have the thicker quilt (standard weight quilt) made of the same material.
