Premium Japanese Tatami Mat (Split Sizes)
A tatami is a traditional Japanese flooring material that consists of a mat made from condensed rice straw as the core, covered with a woven soft rush straw. These mats are meticulously crafted to ensure great quality and durability, built to last for years to come. Tatami mats are available in standard sizes, allowing you to easily incorporate them into your traditional Japanese-style room. Experience the authentic charm and comfort of tatami flooring, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
A split tatami mat offers the same traditional comfort and style as a standard tatami but is divided into two or four separate panels, making it more versatile and easier to handle. Unlike single-piece mats, split tatami mats are designed for convenient shipping, narrow doors and staircases, as well as easy storage. This design ensures quick delivery without sacrificing quality, making split tatami mats a practical choice for modern homes seeking authentic Japanese aesthetics with added flexibility.
Unlike standard Tatami Mats, which use plastic backing, this Premium version features straw backing.
Note: Natural Rush Grass Scent/Odor
Our tatami mats are crafted from natural Igusa (rush grass), which may have a distinct grassy or earthy scent when first unboxed. This is a natural characteristic of authentic tatami and not a defect.
- The scent is typically strongest when the mat is first unpacked and may gradually fade over a few days to several weeks, depending on ventilation and humidity.
- Many customers find the aroma pleasant and calming, while others may be more sensitive.
- If you are sensitive to natural scents, we recommend airing the mats in a well-ventilated area before use.
