The Karup futon bed Japan carob brown 140×200 cm is the smallest double size in the Japan series: 168 cm wide, 228 cm long, and just 20 cm high. It is the size for a guest room, a studio, or a bedroom where a 160 takes up just a little too much floor space. One person sleeps spaciously, two sleep close together, and because the bed is so low, the room remains open and uncluttered.
In the color carob brown, the solid wood takes on a deep, warm hue. This works particularly well in a smaller space: the bed becomes a quiet, dark surface on the floor instead of a piece of furniture that fills the room. With a light wall, a wool throw, and a single nightstand next to it, the decor is essentially complete.
Solid wood on eight legs
Karup Design constructs the Japan from solid wood sourced from FSC-certified Scandinavian forests. The frame rests on eight short legs, ensuring the slatted base remains stable even with daily use by two people. The solid wood slatted base and assembly instructions are included in the delivery. If you want to sleep like in Japan, place two 70×200 cm tatami mats inside the frame instead of the slatted base.

On the page futon mattresses We explain how to maintain a futon and why you should turn it regularly. You can also order without a futon.
Or an organic futon
Karup futons are made of recycled cotton, eco-friendly but not organically certified. Those who want a fully organically produced mattress, free from chemicals and pesticides, with certificates and quality marks and a more luxurious finish, can choose from our organic futon mattresses. In this size, that is, for example, the organic futon mattress Traditional 140×200 cm: order the bed without the futon and add the mattress separately.
Guest room, studio, or first bedroom of your own
The Japan 140 fits well in a guest room or student room: low, sturdy, without a headboard, and assembled in just a few steps. The frame is 20 cm high, so do not count on storage space under the bed. Come and view the bed in our showroom in Bergen op Zoom, home to the largest Karup Design collection in the Benelux. Delivery in the Netherlands and Belgium is free.
