Where can I find a cheap mattress in Japan?

Question

I went to the local dept. stores and they all wanted around $800 minimum. I just want something a little better than the futons I normally use. As long as its new and cheap I really don't care. I already have a frame. I just need the bed.

Does anyone at least know any cheap online stores that deliver to Japan?

Answer 1

You can buy cheaper futon in DIY shops.

Large supermarket also sell futons, but DIY shop is the best.

Japanese call DIY shop as "home center", hohmu sentah.

When you ask someone Japanese where it is, please write  "DIY shop" on a paper and show it to him, say "itiban chikai hohmu sentah wa doko ni arimasuka?" (Where is the nearest "home center"?).
