Customer feedback about Tatami bedroom

It has been awhile but I wanted to reach out with some pictures of how we are using the beautiful tatami mat’s we purchased from you!

We had a problem, we have 3 girls sharing one room so we originally had 2 bunk beds in one room which meant no space, no view outside window. We then thought of changing this to mat style and here is it! Thank you for the great service and beautiful mats! My 3 girls love it and we are looking at other ways to use your mats in other areas!

First, a photo of the foundation being built.

Tatami mats are not connected with each other when just laid on the floor.

Tatami has an anti-slip gripper on their back, which works against moving apart provided that they are laid on a smooth wooden floor.

Laying out tatamis of the same color in different directions alternatively offers staggered reflections in sunlight that make it look like you have two diffrent tone tatamis laid out—deep and light color tatamis. This type of layout is called “Ichimatsu-shiki (checkered floor).”

Things to keep in mind in a tatami bedroom

Tatami mats have some degree of flexibility, and could be pushed into the bed frame even if they are 1 or 2 mm larger than it. However, we think it would definitely be better for you to choose a tatami mat that is about 3 mm smaller than the bed frame.

Ordinarily, people sleep on a futon mattress laid on tatami mats. The igusa rush on the tatami surface is a natural material, and humidity can therefore cause it to become mildewed. We advise our customers to hang futon out to dry at proper intervals and to see that rooms are well ventilated. In the case of the Tokyo Series tatami mats, the material is resin, and there is no need to worry about the outbreak of mildew.
