Afghan Toshak Collection

★ Most popular first — our best-selling Afghan toshak & cushion-cover sets are shown at the top.

Afghan Toshak — توشک وطنی — shipped anywhere in the USA

A toshak is the piece of furniture an Afghan house is actually built around. It runs along the wall, it seats guests by day, it sleeps one by night, and in the morning it folds into a stack in the corner. Nothing in a Western furniture catalogue does all four. This collection carries the covers — watani and kabuli patterns, traditional and new designs — and the foam that goes inside them. Order online and we ship to every US state and Canada, or see the sets in person at our Sacramento showroom.

Covers, foam, or both

Read each listing carefully, because they are not all the same thing:

• Toshak cover set — $49.99. One floor-mattress cover plus two matching cushion covers. Fabric only. This is what most people here are buying, because they already have foam, or they are replacing a cover that has had ten years of use.
• Two complete sets, cover + foam — $339.99. Two toshak and four pillows, covered and filled, ready to sit on. This is the option to choose if you are starting from nothing.
• Foam for two sets — $219.99. The filling only: two foam bases and four foam pillows. Buy it to re-fill covers that are still good, or alongside cover sets you choose separately.

A single foam set is sold at the showroom only (pickup), and the listing says so plainly. We keep covers and foam as separate listings on purpose: in Afghan households the cover and the foam have always had different lifespans, and there is no reason to make you buy both when only one has worn out.

Specifications

• Foam: polyurethane, 28 density, 190 × 75 × 10 cm — about 75″ long, 30″ deep, 4″ thick. Thick enough that you are sitting on the foam, not through it onto the floor.
• Covers: first-class polyester, soft and hard-wearing, in traditional Afghan patterns.
• Care: the cover comes off and machine washes at 30°C, then air dries. The foam core is spot-cleaned.
• Storage: folds flat and stacks — the reason this design has outlasted every sofa ever sold.

Why ours costs what it does

We import the foam ourselves, by the container, direct from the factory. There is no middleman between the foam and your floor. A cover set is $49.99 and two complete sets with foam are $339.99 — those are the everyday prices, not a sale we run permanently against an inflated original.

Before you order — two honest things

A toshak needs a wall behind it. The cushions are backrests, not a frame. Set one in the middle of a room and it will slide and lean. Choose the wall first.

Measure the wall, not the room. Each toshak is about 75 inches. A 12-foot wall takes two — exactly one two-set bundle; most living rooms need three or four to run two walls properly.

Answering your questions about toshak

What exactly is a toshak?

A firm, thin, foldable floor mattress — toshak (توشک) in Dari and Persian — used for seating along the wall by day and sleeping at night. It is the standard seating of Afghan, Persian and Central-Asian homes, and the reason those living rooms feel open in the middle.

Where can I buy an Afghan toshak in the USA?

Right here. We sell toshak covers and complete sets with foam online and ship them to every US state and Canada, typically in 3 to 5 business days — free on orders over $110. If you are near Sacramento you can also see them at our showroom on Watt Avenue.

Am I buying a cover or a complete toshak?

Check the option you select. Cover set is fabric only. 2 Sets Cover + Foam is two complete toshak with four pillows. The foam set is the filling. Many customers buy the cover alone because they already have the foam — that is normal, not a mistake.

How is a toshak different from a mattress or a futon?

It is firmer, much thinner, and made to fold and be carried daily. A futon is designed to unfold into a bed and stay there; a toshak is designed to be seating that happens to sleep someone. See Toshak vs Mattress, Futon & Memory Foam.

Can I really sleep on it?

Yes — at 75 inches and 4 inches thick it sleeps an adult. Generations have. It is firmer than a Western mattress, which most people either love or take a few nights to get used to.

Can I wash the cover?

Yes. It comes off and machine washes at 30°C, then air dries — do not tumble dry it. The foam core inside is spot-cleaned, not washed.

What is the difference between watani and kabuli?

They are pattern traditions. Watani is the classic countrywide style; kabuli designs are the city variants, often lighter and more ornate. Both are traditional, and households mix them freely.

What is the difference between a toshak and an Arabic majlis set?

A toshak is a long, simple floor mattress with two matching cushions. An Arabic majlis set is four pieces built around a backrest and an armrest. Same idea, different tradition and shape — and many homes use both.

Can I see one in person?

Yes, and with floor seating it is worth it. Sets are laid out at our Sacramento showroom, 3423 Watt Avenue. WhatsApp (916) 890-4077 to check a design is on the floor before you come — or for a photo or video of it if you are ordering from out of state.
