western futon/doko
 

hey there. does anyone know where to buy a "western style futon" in tokyo? you know one of those thick, double-bed sized ones that's not for moving it around. great sofa substitute as well. thanks!

You can probably find one at one of the larger Tokyu Hands stores, or IKEA in Minami-Funabashi. They also come up from time to time on the Tokyo Craigslist.

thanks for your suggestions. i believe tokyu hands is too fancy and expensive for me. as for ikea, sounds like a last resort. i remember seeing some really crappy "futons" in europe bought from ikea. but ofcourse the story might be different in japan? last one i bought in spain was of very good quality and cost around 100-200euros.
