Product features

If you want to furnish your home in Japanese-style, you definitely cannot forget to include Tatamis. In Japan Tatami mats can be found in any home, and they are becoming increasingly popular also in western homes among those who strive to live in an eco-sustainable, non-toxic environment without sacrificing the design of their home interiors.

The high quality of our tatamis is visible for these main factors:

- the double straw weave present on both sides of the mats (lower quality tatamis have the straw weave only on the top side which remains visible to the eye while the back side is covered with synthetic materials);

- the thicknesss of 5,5 cm, slightly higher than average, indicates that this product is very long lasting over time.

- our Tatamis are quite heavyweight because of the tight weave of straw in the center. This ensures that the mat maintains its form over time

A Tatami mat makes an ideal base for a futon mattress both when placed in our Japanese beds or straight on the floor as with our Beds with Tatami and Futon or our Tatami Sofa Bed. Combine both elements and you will have the right sturdiness and support to guarantee a healthy and restful sleep.

When used as floor covering, our Tatamis not only offer soft and pleasant feel to the touch but are also great heat insulators thanks to the isolation effect created by the air molecules captured between the internal rice weave. Thus Tatami floors will keep the environment where they are placed cool in summer and warm in winter.
