In Japan, futons are usually sold in sets which include a shikibuton, kakebuton, makura, mofu and taoruketto. Shikibuton refers to the futon mattress, while kakebuton pertains to the comforter. The makura is a type of pillow customarily filled with organic materials, like beans or buckwheat chaff, while the mofu and taoruketto are two different kinds of blankets.

The purpose of the futon is to save space. Japanese futons are usually folded and stored during the day so that a room can be used for other activities. In the West, the concept is still all about maximizing space. But futons in other nations apart from Japan are usually placed on a futon frame. These frames are adjustable. The bi-fold frame, for instance, can be folded in the middle to make a sofa and then flattened to make a bed.

The tri-fold frame has three sections that can also be maneuvered to put up either a sofa or bed. Bi-fold frames can easily be used with thick mattresses, but only thinner mattresses are generally used on tri-fold frames as these are more difficult to adjust. There are also various types of futon mattresses, and materials commonly used are: cotton, wool, polyester and foam. Cotton and wool mattresses make for a softer bed, while cotton and polyester combinations will result in more firm mattresses.
