Hello. I do not know if anyone will have an answer. This may be too specific a question. I am purchasing a Twin XL shikifuton, 39" x 80" x.5" I am 6'1" and live in very limited space, which is explains my choice of futon size. First, how do you find sheets for futons and then how would I find sheets that would fit this size of shikifuton. I have tried looking through Amazon Japan and have had very little luck there. Are there specific Japanese words I could use to search on the web or certain stores in Japan that would be most likely to have something like this? I am willing to pay to a certain point if I have to have sheets modified. I just hate to think that I will just have to use oversized sheets that never fit my futon. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think it will be a problem finding sheets or covers for shikifutons if you search around, but you could try:
