The Futon, a versatile companion: from yoga to relaxation, an art of living
Introduction: The Futon's Legacy Revisited
Inspired by the Japanese futon , the futon is now an essential accessory for those seeking comfort, grounding and authenticity in their well-being practices.
At Atelier Cocon, we reinvent the futon as a piece that is both functional and aesthetic, a handcrafted futon mattress , stuffed with natural kapok, that adapts to your daily needs as well as your deepest rituals.
1. For gentle, restorative yoga: a mat that supports relaxation
In slow practices like yin or yoga nidra, the futon yoga mat is a great replacement for the classic yoga mat, which is often too hard.
Its thickness and natural padding provide unparalleled comfort for the back, knees or hips, while maintaining posture stability.
Each futon is handcrafted, ensuring a soft and breathable feel, ideal for rediscovering slow breathing and body awareness.
2. For meditation and breathing: an anchoring space
The futon creates a real space of presence .
Combined with a zafu meditation cushion or a yoga bolster, it supports long sittings, extended breathing or guided relaxation sessions.
More than a support, it becomes an interior territory , where comfort promotes concentration and lasting relaxation.
3. For therapists and practitioners: the ideal support for energy care
More and more professionals are using the futon for shiatsu or sound healing .
Its density and flexibility make it a stable base for massages, energy treatments or breathwork sessions.
It absorbs movement without sagging, while remaining pleasant to the touch — a trusted ally for every practitioner.
4. At home: comfort as a way of life
Outside the studio, the futon becomes a real living object.
Placed on the floor, it transforms into a reading corner, an extra mattress or a natural alternative to classic bedding.
Many people adopt it to sleep on the floor and relieve back pain, thus reconnecting with a more natural posture.
It is an elegant, breathable and foldable padded floor mat , an invitation to simplicity and balance.
5. A conscious and artisanal gesture
Each futon is handmade in our Moroccan workshop.
Natural linen and kapok materials are chosen for their comfort, durability and light ecological footprint.
More than a thick yoga mat , each piece embodies a philosophy: that of respect for the body, rhythm and handcraft.
Conclusion: one object, a thousand uses
Whether used as a yoga mat futon , shiatsu futon , padded mat or floor mattress , the futon remains true to its primary purpose: to offer sincere, lasting and harmonious comfort.
It combines the tradition of Japanese futon making with Moroccan know-how, transforming every space into a haven of softness.
