Futon is an English word derived from Japanese futon,  a term generally referring to the traditional style of Japanese bedding consisting of padded mattresses and quilt pliable enough to be folded and stored away during the day, allowing the room to serve for purposes other than as a bedroom. The bedding set referred to as futon in Japan fundamentally consists of a shikibuton (bottom mattress) and a kakebuton (thick quilted bedcover). According to Japanese lore, the first futons were said to be crafted by samari who could not master the art of sword play. The word is Sino-Japanese, originally meaning ’round cushions filled with cattail flower spikes’; it is derived from Chinese fu ‘cattail’ + ton ’round.’
