Zen bed with tatami

Product characteristics

The japanese Zen Tatami bed has a compact frame with a minimalist design.
This bed is made with ecological beechwood and it is suitable for all types of rooms, especially small rooms with little space. This version with tatami also has rigid wooden slats that give an ideal support to the japanese tatami. The tatami is a suitable base for any of our Futons or classic mattresses. To highlight the presence of the tatami, we recommend to order the bed in a larger size than the mattress. To make the tatami visible also at the foot of the bed we can add a 10 cm wide panel at the head of the bed. The tatamis are in fact 200 cm long so this is the only way to make the bed longer, this choice is available in the options above. The japanese Zen bed with tatami belongs to the categor of Arpel japanese beds.

Measures

Zen model tilted wooden headboard: It consists in a wooden panel that is inserted through inclined millings in the side panels of the bed.The space taken up by the headboard in the bed is 5 cm. To mantain the selected internal measures we will therefore make the bed 5 cm longer at no extra cost. This means that a bed with a headboard selected for a mattress of 200 cm will have and internal length of 205 cm and an external length of 212 cm. Since the headboard is tilted outwards, we recommend to consider a total length of 218 cm. 
External tilted wooden headboard: it's possible to accessorize the bed also with a tilted wooden headboard that is fixed externally to the head panel with metal screws. The price is the same, just request this variant when ordering. This headboard protrudes about 11 cm from the bed frame so for a bed with an internal length of 200 cm, the total length is 218 cm

Customization of the foot shape and headboard

The Zen bed can have 3 types of feet : square, round or with a 45° cut. These 3 variants apply also to the headboard. We generally recommend a trapezium form for the headboard if you want to soften the visual impact.

High quality tatami

Our tatamis are made in China and they are of a very high quality for two main reasons. Firstly, the weave is visible both on the upper side which is meant to be seen, and on the bottom side which remains hidden. This stands for a high quality workmanship and it garantees that that the tatami has undergone the correct procedure of fumigation. For more details on this subject please contact us. Secondly, the weight of our tatamis is significant. This shows that they have a thick, sturdy weave that gives optimal support and will last long over time.
