Thoughts from our overseas customers who have purchased Tatami mats

You may think that the use of Tatami mats is a custom unique to Japan, but a growing number of households in America, Europe and Singapore have discovered a love for Tatami.

The most common use for Tatami mats is using them to place a futon to sleep on.

You may have been under the impression that only Japanese people enjoy the scent of soft rush, but we were pleased to see our overseas customers tells us how much they enjoy the scent.

One customer told us that they ordered a tatami mat because they had been meditating on wood flooring, and it was too hard and uncomfortable.

Another customer told us that they used the Tatami mat to place a futon when one of their guests needed a place to sleep.
