Delivery example #004

Hello everyone. I'm Kanauchi Kaito from Sleep Shop. Today, I'd like to introduce an example of how a cushion that had become flat after years of use was re-stuffed into a nap futon. The customer had trouble storing a cushion that they no longer used, but by re-stuffing it, we were able to give it a new life as a practical item. I'll tell you the details, so please read on until the end.

Common problems with worn cushions

Cushions become worn out and flattened over time. Cushions are items for sitting on, so it's inevitable that they will wear out over time. As a result, they become less comfortable to use, which can be a problem.

Furthermore, storing cushions can be a hassle. People often complain that they feel it's a hassle to throw away cushions they can't use, and that it's a waste to throw them away, so they end up taking up space in their closets or cupboards.

As times change, I think people are using zabuton cushions less and less on a daily basis. Lifestyles have changed, and there are many zabuton cushions that are still usable but not being used.

From cushions to practical items

This customer was also having trouble storing some cushions that they were no longer using, and wanted to have them re-stuffed into something that could be used.

Initially, the customer wanted to have the cushions re-stuffed, but while they were choosing the fabric, they noticed a nap futon in the same corner and came up with the idea to remake the cushions into nap futons.

A nap futon is usually a futon for children to sleep on, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with a zabuton. However, the customer had the idea of ​​placing this nap futon on a chair and using it to cover the back.

When you sit on a chair in hot weather, your back may get steamy and uncomfortable depending on the material of the chair. Using it this way will eliminate the discomfort thanks to the high moisture absorption of cotton. Also, if you are using a hard chair, it will improve the cushioning from your buttocks to your back, reducing the strain on your body even when sitting for long periods of time.

Condition of the cushion

There were no tears or uneven cotton, and it was a typical ordinary cushion.
After years of use, it had become worn and flat, but the quality of the cotton was not bad and it was possible to re-stuff it.

Things to note when re-stuffing cushions

Some zabuton cushions use a type of filling called " hanmo ". Hanmo is a type of filling made by recycling fabrics such as blankets, carpets, and old clothes into a cotton-like material. This filling is characterized by a mixture of various colors. Please note that hanmo cannot be re-stuffed.

Finished product and finish

After re-stuffing, the nap futon is used in a different way than usual. It provides firm support for the buttocks and back when sitting in a chair, making it ideal for long periods of sitting or relaxing. This nap futon has greatly improved comfort when sitting in a chair. Another attractive feature is that it is a nap futon, so it is lightweight and easy to handle. The fabric pattern has a simple color with swirls of various sizes, which makes a nice accent.
