I really wasn't sure which forum this would belong in, but I tried this one since the kotatsu table hails from Asia.
I bought a kotatsu table last year (I haven't got to use it yet. crying ) and I'm having trouble finding a proper futon for it.
I found one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Kotatsu-Futon-Quilt-Mattress-Space-saving/dp/B002USBA7W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1391141670&sr=8-2&keywords=kotatsu+futon
But it doesn't look like the normal futon that you would see on a kotatsu. However, it is the cheapest one I've found which is good on my budget, but I also know that cheapest can usually come out being terrible. (It says $77, but you have to pay $78 in shipping.)
And then I found this one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Japanese-Kotatsu-Futon-Set-Reversible-Fine2-Green-Table-Not-included-/281237208760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item417b0b3eb8
Which looks like an authentic futon for the kotatsu! It costs $184 but you have to almost pay the same amount in shipping.
I just wondered if anyone else possibly owns a kotatsu and had the same problem and could probably give me some advice? I have a feeling that I need to go with the one from eBay, but I would like to make sure before I fork out the money for it.
