I’ve gotten high quality futons at department stores in that awkward time after Christmas but before the New Year, heavily marked down at the multi-level AEON.
Before that, I had a slim futon that had me waking numb on whatever body part was pronounced on the futon side.
What does high quality mean to you?
I do not know how much good quality you wish to have for futons, but I purchased some at Muji and Nitori.
Well duh. There are lots of premium futon options if you look beyond Nitori. On top of my head is Nishikawa, they have physical stores and this is the online store [https://www.nishikawa1566.com/categories/floor-mattress/](https://www.nishikawa1566.com/categories/floor-mattress/)
Might be obvious but you will do a lot better searching in Japanese for this.
If you’re used to sleeping on a mattress, a futon will never satisfy you
We got ours from Dinos and they’re fine years later.
I use a Tempurpedic style foam futon made by nishikawa, and lay it on the tatami floor. I used to have back and hip pains but they are gone now. Highly recommend this setup
You can buy an 80,000 yen pillow at Mitsukoshi. This is Japan, you shouldn’t have to look too far to spend big on a futon.
