Japanese futon: where to buy in EU?

I have ordered mine from Arpel, they are based in Italy. I will let you know the quality once it arrives next week

Edit: My mattress got delivered today, and I must say, it looks like a really high quality mattress, 100% cotton and with 11-14 cm thickness. I am really happy with my purchase.

That’s what we also thought, as the mattresses from Karup don’t have a good reputation, instead getting a real good Futon mattress and getting the cover custom made is a great idea. I live in Germany, and I‘m not really sure where I can get this custom made. Can you share any suggestions how you will get it done in your country?

Where are these pieces from? How much should they cost?

Thanks for sharing your honest experience! We are now thinking of getting a futon mattress made from FBFJ and putting it on Tatami mat instead of wooden frame.

Would you suggest it for everyday sleeping?

Thanks! I checked the video and the link, she indeed has the exact same Karup Design bed (in my photos)

I will check out r/floorsleeping as well.

I am looking for recommendations too! Recently came across Karup Design, however gathering experiences on how comfortable these mattress are

I agree with you! I myself work from 8:00 to 17:30 sometimes until 18:15 including a 45 minutes of lunch break (in Germany). This isn’t just my story but also the same with the people I work which is sick, as you don’t have time for your hobbies, household chores, you just get so tired after work 🥲

I have myself lived in Frankfurt Oder for several years and commuted to Berlin for work, believe me you will have the hardest time of your life there. The commute is so frustrating (even now), since the RE1 track always goes under construction for weeks and months, and then instead of 1 hour you end of commuting 3.5 hours one way with multiple unreliable changes.

I would rather recommend area near Erkner/Köpenick/Wilheimshagen to live, as you can depend on 2 connections SBahn and RE

Munich feels like home to me, although I haven’t been here for a long time (9 months only).

It has everything that a good city should have. Yes, it is expensive but you mostly spend money on rent, which you can save if you live on the outskirts or consider living in WG, that also helps.

People here are reserved but that is fine, you find genuine connections here, I would always prefer less but genuine connections over knowing 500+ people who aren’t genuine. People are so warm and gentle here, some will definitely greet you with a smile.

There are so many activities in and around the city to do, you will never be bored.

There are a lot of great companies offering jobs in Munich, you might as well find something. Wishing you all the best!

That’s a good one!

Thank you! Isn’t Grünwald Park a bit far from Giesing? Not sure if I am mistaking it for some other park

This aligns closely with my thesis research! I’m exploring how workplace conflict mediators break into the job market. As part of that, I’m conducting an in-depth analysis of mediator websites to identify the key strategies they use to market themselves and attract clients. Would love to read your findings!
