<Benefits of using Tatami for "Futon">

Traditionally, futons are supposed to be used in tatami rooms with tatami mats laid wall-to-wall. This Folding tatami mat brings the authentic tatami experience, preventing slipping and adding extra cushioning and support.

-KEEPS YOUR FUTON DRY AND MOLD-FREE.

We sweat more during sleep than we think. It is difficult for futons to get rid of the moisture that accumulates if laid directly on hardwood floors. Tatami’s moisture absorbing ability prevents the futons from being musty, keeping them dry and fluffy all the time. The tatami mattress provides noise insulation as well.

*It is strongly recommended not to leave the Futon/mattress on Tatami all the time. Futon/mattress and tatami both need to breathe sometime.  

-PURIFIES THE AIR

Tatami mattress uses only domestically grown igusa (Japanese rush). It is experimentally proven to absorb unpleasant odors and harmful substances such as nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde.

-BRINGS THE FOREST INDOORS

Trees are some of the nature’s greatest healers. Study shows that forest therapy reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, improves concentration, strengthens the immune system, and has anti-cancer benefits.  Igusa has the major active component in forest therapy, phytoncide.

<PLEASE NOTE>

• Tatami mats are made from natural materials, so there will be slight colour variations and natural fading . Over time, this fading becomes more even, and with use the mat gradually develops a beautiful golden tone.

• The shape of each tatami mat may not be perfectly square.

• The colour of the tatami may appear slightly different from photos.

• Natural fading, small gaps, and fraying are normal characteristics and are not considered defects.

• To prevent accidents, do not run or jump on the tatami mats.

• It is strongly recommended not to leave a futon or mattress on the tatami for extended periods, as both need regular ventilation to stay dry and in good condition.

<BEFORE USING>

This tatami mat has been specially coated with natural substances to help protect it from color fading, sun damage, bacteria, mites, and mold.

However, some of the coating may not have been fully absorbed into the mat. Please wipe or clean the tatami mat before use, as any remaining coating may transfer onto or stain your clothing.

<CLEANING & CARE>

• Clean the surface using a dry cloth only.

• Do not use a wet cloth, as moisture can cause mold and discolouration and may change the colour of tatami.

• Wipe gently twice. Do not rub hard, as this may remove the protective coating.

• If liquid is spilled, absorb it immediately with paper towels or tissue. Avoid wiping with a cloth.

• Keep the surface clean and dry, as dirt and moisture can attract mites and mold.

• Before storing, stand the tatami mats upright and let them dry in the shade for about two hours.

• Store in a place away from high heat and humidity.

<If YOU NOTICE ANY FRAYING>

Igusa rush is a natural material and is more delicate than synthetic fibres.

As a result, some strands may break during production, or small frays may appear during use.

If this happens, please do not pull them out—simply trim them at the base with scissors or nail clippers.

This is a natural characteristic of the material and not a defect, so please feel assured when using the product.
