Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that stuffs cotton or synthetic fiber into futons, adjusts to a uniform thickness, and shapes them.
Description
Futon stuffing workers stuff fillers such as cotton or synthetic wadding into the outer fabric of futons using manual labor or dedicated machines, shape them to a uniform thickness, and then fix them to prevent shifting or unevenness. They understand the characteristics of materials and handle renovations and repairs. The work requires physical strength to handle heavy futons and meticulous attention to detail. In recent years, while some mechanization has progressed, there is also demand in the high-end bedding market that utilizes traditional handcrafting techniques.
Future Outlook
While demand for household bedding is stable, demand for manual labor is limited due to advancing mechanization. In the high-end product market utilizing traditional techniques, demand for artisans is expected to continue.
