FULI Japanese Tatami Mattress, Tatami Rug, Igusa Mat (Japanese Rush Grass) Folds in Three, Made in Japan (Natural, Twin 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.

It's so lovely. We wanted to switch to a shikibuton for years and we finally did. This mat is such good quality and the smell is really pleasant. Love it! It makes everything so comfortable! Parents with 2 littles and we are over the moon with it.

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!

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 would give it 5 stars if it didn’t smell like rabbit food. The smell has dissipated after a few days but it stunk up my entire place when I opened the box. As for the quality it is an excellent product! Highly recommend!

good for hot nights bc i'm sweaty and yucky

Ever since a trip to South Korea when I was 20 years old in 1979 I have primarily slept on futon mattresses all my adult life ( I'm 64 now ), in a variety of sizes, materials, and thickness. I recently purchased a FULI single size mattress for a guest room ( great! -- I'll write a separate review of that ) and I decided to go with the recommended Tatami mat as recommended. This is by far the best futon combo I have ever slept on. I sleep so well lately. The futon is thin but comfortable and the Tatami mat underneath on a wood floor just makes it more so. The futon/mat combo folds up nicely without any fuss and sets up in a minute. I'm occupying the guest room now! Guests will have to sleep on my old futon ( smile ).

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.
