How worth it is a shikibuton (japanese floor mattress) and where can i find good quality ones in America via online shopping?

I have a bad back and have recently discovered sleeping on the floor with a couple yoga mats and folded blankets shockingly helps my back feel great. Now my wife and I are looking into moving our bed into the guest room and investing in shikibutons. I have some questions:
Is 100% cotton worth it?
Is a king too large to move around and hang outside? Should we invest in two smaller mattresses instead?
What site should I order from? I’m based in the US. Are the Amazon knock offs any good?
Any other information is welcome.
Im moving into a small room and i won't have a bed, so im thinking of getting a shikibuton in the mean time as well as it will help save space. There is carpet in the room so idk if id need a tatami mat underneath it. Also im used to sleeping on my side would that be bad?
Are they worth it and if so what are some you would recommend for a small room or websites to buy from?
Also, any tips regarding sleeping on shikibutons would be very helpful, like best materials for them to be made from, thank you!
