Japanese Tatami Mattress, Foldable Igusa Rush Grass Tatami Rug, Natural Japanese Floor Mattress Mat Made in Japan, Full XL

This is our second tatami mat purchase from this company and we are more than happy with the mats. They are beautiful and very comfortable to lay and sit on. A good sturdy thickness and well designed. Our cats even love to lay on them. The mats are easy to was and vacuum, and easy to take apart and rearrange into various shapes to fit your room. The mats are thick and cushioned, and have a nice grassy smell to them that we find relaxing. I suggest keeping it cleaned and spraying it with a dust mite killer from time to time, as dust mites enjoy tatami mats. Overall, great product and purchase, would definitely recommend.

Have been sleeping on these tatami mats along with the FULI futon for a bit over a month now and it's been amazing. The tatami had just the right amount of give and looks really nice too. It was well packed and came with a nice note, care guide and origami crane, I appreciate the personal touch along with the useful info! I love the smell but if it bothers you don't worry it'll become milder over time as the tatami airs out.

I just got this in today, it's very nice! It's made up of layers: there is a felt backing on the bottom, some kind of foam in the middle, and then the igusa on top, which is the reed weft over a thread warp. It's bound together on the edges with a cloth bias tape and a classic zigzag stitch. It is springy to the feet, but the top layer is very definitely made with reed --it won't stand up to furniture or stomping with shoes. It's meant for flat items like mattresses, bare or socked feet, and butts! The smell is a nice fresh green smell. This is a niche experience I'm referencing here, but the scent reminds me of dried palm fronds saved from last Good Friday for use as the ashes for Ash Wednesday: it smells very much like that!

Easy to move and store. Well made. Earthy scent. Very comfortable under shikibuton. Very impressed with the set up!

The feel of the product is that it feels great and cool when you step on it or just laying around. Great for spring and summer seasons. Could be used as a picnic mat too just make sure the area you chose is dry. No moisture. For now I am using it as a sleeping mat for my full size XL Fuli mattress. I'd be lying if I said I don't feel the ground BUT each time I wake up I don't feel any body sores or aches and I feel fine or just better. I'm a SIDE SLEEPER too so I hope that means something to whoever reads this. I honestly can't tell the difference though so SORRY! Oh! And storing this mat anywhere is very convenient because of how thin it is even when you fold it up. I DON'T RECOMMEND DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HONESTLY DAMAGE YOUR MAT. DO IT AT YOUR ON DISCRETION. The dust isn't much as a problem. Just blow off the dust with an air compressor or air can or anything that can blow air good enough just to get between the rush grass and cushion but don't get too close with the air nozzle. Wouldn't want to break your new mat just because of little bit of dust, huh? I hope this helps! Later!

I bought the twin XL size. I'm 5'5" and weigh 220lbs. I'm surprised at how long and wide the twin XL size is, in a good way! It's not HUGE or even close to being full or queen size but even for my body, the twin XL is very generous and I have plenty of room to lay down and stretch out. As others have stated, there is a strong smell of wilderness. Imagine the scent of grass you get when you visit the zoo, that's basically it. But, in my opinion, it's a comforting and soothing scent! I don't mean to say it smells like feces-flinging monkeys, it's just a strong scent of rush grass so be prepared for that. The tatami mat is on the thin side but that suits me just fine because I plan on folding this up every morning when I awake so the less space it takes up, the better. It folds nicely and the only reason it gets 4 stars for sturdiness is because the three sections are held together with looped string (albeit, a lot of it) but I can only hope it holds up over time. It just looks like something that a person who is rough will be able to demolish if they don't fold/treat this tatami mat properly and gently. Despite being thin, it actually is more comfortable to lay directly on this compared to lying directly on my carpeted floor. I can't wait to get my FULI twin XL mattress this weekend so I can place on top of this tatami mat!

It’s just what I imagined it to be and I’m using it very often. It’s very comfortable if you use it with a futon. It’s easy to use and store. Been having good night sleep after using this for sometime. Just make sure you eat it from time to time and keep it away from humidity. It will take you sometime before it’s natural smell goes away, but you can speed up the process by Wiping it with a lightly damp cloth, and a few drops of tea tree oil

This review is for two Fuli products that I purchased: the FULI Japanese Traditional Shiki Futon High Grade Floor Mattress and FULI Japanese Traditional Igusa (Rush Grass) Tatami Mattress. I had purchased both items because as a minimalist, I wanted to simplify my life, which meant getting rid of the bed and sleeping on the floor again (I sleep better on the floor). Both products arrived in a timely manner without damage. Upon opening the carton for the tatami mat, the pleasant igusa (rush grass) aroma put me in a sentimental mood as it brought back memories of Japan, where I had lived for 10 years and miss dearly. The futon was delivered compressed in a vacuum bag. Upon close inspection of the futon and tatami mat, the attention to detail and superb craftsmanship that Japan is well known for is apparent in both products. There were no defects that I could find. A nice touch was the signed thank you card and folded origami crane that were in a plastic sleeve taped carefully to the carton exterior of both products (see picture). Before discarding the carton, be sure to inspect the exterior of the box for the thank you card and origami crane! The futon and tatami mat require special care. Detailed care methods are included with both products. Overall, I rate both products 5 stars.

I have used this mat every day for the last two years, in combination with a bamboo-cloth memory foam mattress. Together on the floor feels like sleeping on a real bed. The rush grass mattress wicks moisture away from the mattress, and from the sleeper, very effectively - I can see how much moisture is collected on my wood floor. The mat, just like the mattress, can be folded into three during the day, and it dries off quickly and thoroughly. It is well made, firmly bound together and I can see no signs of wear or flattening. The stitching between the three panels is very very thorough indeed. Together with the 3-fold mattress above it, this mat has revolutionised my living, freeing up loads of space in my small house and offering a very comfortable low-cost solution,

Great product, with a light fragrance that is quite appealing. Quality is excellent so far, and folds up nicely.

Very comfy tatami mat, excellent service from the seller!

worth your money. It’s strong . I even used it during camping and I did not feel the rocks. Foldable but not fragile. You know it’s good quality when you see it. I have it face the sun at least once a week although the instructions say once a month I think. It’s just me being overly zealous.

Very good quality product. After two weeks of using it - still smells as grass which is nice and calming. Folds nicely. Easy to clean. Not the cheapest bust worth the money in my opinion.
