Japanese Tatami mat shop.This website introduces the living room spreading tatami in Japan. We introduce examples of reforming the flooring room into a tatami room, and tatami flooring for babies.
1. do traditionally tatamis need to be a bit smaller than the bed frame?
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.
2. also, if tatamis are a bit longer then a bed frame (like 5 cm on each side) will it damage them?
We recommend the selection of a tatami size that corresponds with
the length and width of the bed frame. This will also heighten the
tatami durability.
3. what would you recommend to put on the top of tatamis for sleeping?
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.
