futon education

can someone explain shiki kake and whatever else futon lingo to me? The wife wants one and I'm thinking about getting a set for her. Jlifeinternational.com sells them for about $300 made in USA; a store here in NYC sells made in japans for $400.

Charles is right. (The Reagan avatar goes pretty well with the statement, "You know how women work.") When I was just starting working and didn't have any money, I still shelled out a little more for a wool FU-ton (American folding-sofa style). It seemed to hold up pretty well for a long time, and didn't turn into rock, like the the cotton ones seemed to.
There was a wholesaler in Seattle that was importing futons from Indonesia. Apparently, there were some dormant micro-critters in the fabric/filling, because customers were sleeping on them and waking up with nasty rashes. Folks' sweat apparently activated the little bastards.

[quote="james"]what a misleading title ]You don't have to worry about that. It will soon become more of a "futon talk" discussion.

.. In Japan (as in most of the world), tension headaches are very common. This is a result of increasing stress levels at home and in the workplace. The phenomenon of this tension headache is known to the Japanese as "Katakori". The best remedy for Katakori is the Soba Gara Makura...
Not sure what kind this one is though..
