Hello,
I'm Daniel from Hungary and I'm new to this forum, I registered in hope that someone would be able to help me here. Me and my girlfriend bought a small flat in the city, but we haven't really bought any furniture yet. I know she'd really like a japanese styled room with a kotatsu and futon, but I'm not really well versed in japanese culture, but I'd like to surprise her with a futon. As we have no room for a regular bed and we both dislike these foldable bed/sofa transformer abominations it would be ideal. I did some research on the internet and found out how it needs to be aired and cleaned and that I should probably buy one from rakuten. What I did find confusing is how they sell these, I tried searching futon and futon sets but not sure what futon means anymore, is it just that matress that's on top or is it the harder thing you put under the matress? Do I need to put it on top of tatami or is the wooden flooring ok too? Most of the futons on the pictures are either on beds (which would defeat the purpose) or are folded up, I'd like one that's on the floor and we can fold it up when we don't need it. We're both student's and working, so all those 120000\ premium sets are kind of out of the budget.
I would appreciate if someone could explain I need to know before buying, also maybe help me choose on from rakuten, because I can't seem to figure out which one would do the job.
I hope I managed to post in the right section.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
