What is Tatami?
Tatami is a traditional Japanese flooring material made from woven Igusa (rush grass) and typically features a rice straw or foam core. It has been used for over 1,200 years in Japan to create natural, comfortable living spaces. Tatami offers unique benefits such as humidity control, insulation, and air purification, making it ideal for maintaining a comfortable environment year-round.
Tatami's moisture-regulating properties help absorb excess humidity in the summer and release it during drier seasons, keeping rooms cool and fresh. Its insulating abilities trap warm air in the winter while staying cool to the touch in the summer. The woven Igusa also provides natural air purification by absorbing odors and harmful substances, making tatami a healthy choice for homes.
Types of Tatami Products and Their Uses
- Tatami Mattress Pads (Tatami Sheets)
Designed to be placed on top of your futon, tatami sheets enhance the sleeping experience by adding a cool, breathable surface. They are crafted with high-density Japanese Igusa to provide a smooth texture and regulate moisture, ensuring a comfortable and refreshing sleep. - Tatami Mats for Futon
Tatami mats are perfect for placing under shikibuton (futon mattresses). They improve air circulation and moisture control, helping to keep the futon dry and enhancing the comfort of your sleep setup. - Tatami Rugs
Tatami rugs can easily be laid over existing flooring or carpets to instantly create a Japanese-style space. These lightweight mats are great for living rooms, playrooms, or bedrooms, providing a soft, relaxing area to sit or walk on.
