Futon Storage and Preparation

When storing the futon

When storing the futon for an extended period, it’s important to keep it in a well-ventilated place, away from moisture. Sun-dry the futon to remove any humidity before storage, and wrap it in a breathable cover or cloth for added protection. Additionally, using a dehumidifier or insect repellent in the storage area can help protect the futon from mold and pests.

When using the futon again

After taking the futon out of storage, start by sun-drying it to remove any moisture and odors, allowing it to return to a fluffy state. If it has been stored for a long time, airing it outside for a few hours will help improve ventilation and make it more comfortable to use. Gently pressing the futon to let in some air will also help restore its soft, fluffy feel.
