How We Compare to Foam-Core Mats:
Many modern tatami mats use XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) foam—a material typically used in construction insulation. While these may appear similar, they lack the firmness, breathability, and environmental integrity of real rice straw. XPS mats can feel hollow, trap heat, and introduce synthetic materials into your home.
Our rice straw core offers:
- Dense, supportive structure for better comfort
- Natural moisture and temperature regulation
- No off-gassing or chemical exposure
- Closer alignment with traditional Japanese aesthetics
