2. Setup Instructions
Your futon mattress is delivered in a vacuum-sealed compression bag to minimize shipping volume. Follow these steps to prepare your futon for use:
- Unpack Immediately: Carefully cut open the compression bag as soon as possible after receiving your futon.
- Allow for Expansion: The mattress will begin to expand immediately upon unpacking. While it can be used right away, it may take 2-3 days to fully swell up to its original thickness. In colder environments, this process might take 5-7 days.
- Aid Expansion: If the recovery is slow, place the futon in a warm room. Gently grab and shake the futon to help air circulate and promote expansion. Drying it under the sun on sunny days can also assist in fluffing it up.

3. Usage and Features
The EMOOR CLASSE Futon Set is designed for traditional Japanese floor sleeping, offering both comfort and space-saving benefits. It can also be used as an extra layer on an existing mattress for added cushioning.
- 3-Layered Mattress Structure: The mattress features a firm pad in the middle, sandwiched between separately-quilted soft fiberfill pads on the top and bottom. This unique SOFT-FIRM-SOFT layering provides firm support while maintaining a plush feel, beneficial for back health.
- Space-Saving Design: Japanese futon setups do not require a bed platform. The futon can be easily folded in three and stored in a closet or corner, allowing you to utilize your room space during the day.
- 3-Season Comforter: The included comforter is well-filled and suitable for fall, winter, and spring. For summer, a lighter blanket (like a Japanese 'towelket') is recommended. In very cold regions or during mid-winter, an additional blanket may be desired.

4. Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your futon set:
- Non-Washable: The futon mattress and comforter are not washable.
- Use Covers: It is highly recommended to use futon covers for the mattress, comforter, and pillows. Wash these covers regularly to maintain cleanliness.
- Regular Drying: To keep your futon dry and clean, air it out under the sun on sunny days or in a well-ventilated room frequently. This helps prevent moisture buildup and maintains its loft.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your EMOOR Futon Mattress Set, please consider the following:
- Lack of Full Expansion: Ensure sufficient time (up to 7 days, especially in cold weather) has passed since unpacking. Gently fluff the futon and expose it to warmth or sunlight to aid air circulation.
- Comfort Level: Traditional Japanese futons are designed to be firmer than Western mattresses. If you find it too firm, consider placing it on a tatami mat or a slatted bed base for additional support and air circulation.
- Odor: A new product may have a slight odor upon unpacking. This is normal and should dissipate within a few days in a well-ventilated area.
