Answer

ANo.1 Futon (Japanese-style bedding) are usually laid out directly over the tatami mats, and are folded during the daytime to be kept inside a closet. Like bed linens, futon absorb sweat from the body, so it is advisable to hang them outside to dry on sunny days. Bedding basically consists of a mattress-like futon called shiki-futon, a comforter-like futon called kake-buton and a pillow. Some people use a hard mattress under shiki-futon. To keep tatami mats clean, it is best to use vacuum cleaners and brooms regularly, and occasionally wipe them with dampened (well wrung out) cloth.
