I am currently living in the U.S.,

I like space and hate furniture. I'm getting ready to start my ESL career in Korea in February and I'm wondering if it is possible to buy a Japanese style futon in Korea and, if so, how much do they run?

I have a Japanese style futon here in the U.S. and like having the open floor space but obviously cannot take it with me. Help is much appreciated as always!

Oh, and buy they way, I'll be in Bupyeong, if that helps at all.

You could just get a yok(?) and sleep on the floor like traditional Koreans do...Then you'd have plenty of floor space, since your bed can be rolled up each morning.

Well, they have Ikea style futons for sale in Korea. You can order one on auction.co.kr, but you'll need to know Korean.

The price is usually around 250,000 won including delivery.

Thanks, I've only seen on mention to the futon name (they called it a yo). Doesn't seem like I'd have to much trouble finding one.
