<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMattress vs. Futon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are a variety of\nbedding options to choose from in Japan. If a traditional bed frame and\nmattress were never your thing, you might want to consider sleeping on a futon.\nFutons have many practical advantages. They\u2019re easier to move and store than\nmattresses, and can usually be found for much cheaper prices. If you have a\ntatami room in your house and want to sleep on a futon, you can make it into\nyour bedroom. However, for many people who are used to sleeping on mattresses,\nsleeping on a futon can be quite uncomfortable. While futons are a traditional\nform of bedding, most people in modern Japan sleep in a bed. If you have\ntrouble getting to sleep or suffer from back and neck pain, it\u2019s probably a\ngood idea to get a mattress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen You Need to Get Rid\nof a Mattress <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLarge items like\nmattresses can be hard to get rid of when you\u2019re moving. If your mattress is in\ngood condition, consider selling or giving it to someone who is looking for\none. Jimoty<\/a> is a site where locals\ncan try to sell, give away, or find used furniture (among other things).\nAlternatives to Jimoty include Craigslist<\/a>,\nwhich is mainly used by foreigners in Japan, and local Facebook groups in your\narea. If your mattress is in bad condition or you can\u2019t find it a new home, you\u2019ll\nprobably have to pay to dispose of it. Fees for oversized garbage disposal vary\nby city. You\u2019ll likely have to get in touch with a local government office to\npay for and schedule an oversized garbage pickup. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Looking for a mattress but not sure where to start?
