Futon beds
Futon beds combine the best of two worlds: the tranquility and simplicity of a Japanese bed with the sleek design of Scandinavian furniture. This unique combination is also known as Japandi: an interior style in which minimalism, functionality, and natural materials take center stage. A futon bed is therefore also called a (low) Japanese bed or platform bed, because the bed sits close to the floor. This makes your bedroom appear more spacious and creates a calm atmosphere. At the same time, the bed offers a comfortable sleeping place that suits modern interiors.

A Japanese bed is known for its simplicity. Traditionally, in Japan, people sleep on a futon that rests directly on the floor or on a low wooden frame, without unnecessary decorations or a high bed base. That principle forms the basis for the modern Japanese bed as you know it today. Because the bed stands close to the floor, visually more space remains in the room, which contributes to a calming feeling. A low Japanese bed is therefore a popular choice for those who consciously opt for less clutter and more clarity in the bedroom, for example in a Japandi-style interior or a compact space.
