Hand Made Futon has right direction to lie down.

Three great Advantages of sleeping right direction on the Hand Made Futon.

1. Cottons are properly placed to fit perfectly with human's weight. When we lie down, 80% of our weight goes back side of chest and under hip. Unlike machine made Futon which cotton are flat and evenly placed, Hand Made Futon have more cottons to support those weight so that our body don't bend when they lie down on Futon.

2. Because it made from Cotton, it can hang to dry under Sun. Also, we sweat mostly around neck and shoulders. So, you only have to dry that side.

3. Easy to Fold up Futon. Because you use Futon in right direction, it decides the direction to fold up Futon. Bend bottom inward first. Then roll it over to the head. Then, flip it over. This way, you don't make wrinkle on the upper body side of Futon.
