Four futons, right up to the dining table

The floor used to get wiped in the morning. Then a family of four started sleeping in the living room. A few grains of rice left after dinner could end up under a futon. They moved the chore to after dinner and kept meals to one part of the room. The futons still came right up to the table. Three futons had been the limit in the bedroom of their 56 m² 2LDK. The mother shared one with her daughter and once woke up wedged between two futons after a kick in the night. They moved the computers and paperwork into the old bedroom and made it a workroom. That cleared space for a fourth futon in the living room. In the morning most of the bedding went into the 押入れ, the deep cupboard in the next room. The thicker mattress didn’t fit. It stayed out during the day and went into the office when guests came over.
