Enjoy a pleasant touch with bare feet and have a relaxing time. Easily foldable and portable to anywhere you want, and storable in a small space when not in use.
[TATAMI'S GREAT FEATURE: CONTROLS HUMIDITY] Natural Igusa rush has many small rooms inside. They absorb and release moisture, and adjust to comfortable humidity. So, they can be dry and cool in summer and they keep warm air inside and shut the chill from the floor in the winter. The perfect firm platform under your Japanese Futon mattress for floor sleepers.
[RELAXING & CALMING EFFECT] Tatami's unique scent, which is nostalgic for Japanese people, is said to have an effect on relaxation and enhance concentration. If you are unfamiliar with the scent and feel too much for you, place it in a well-ventilated place until it gets weakened. The undyed natural color changes little by little over time, and repeated dry-wiping gives it a tasteful luster.
[HOW TO CARE] Before use or when cleaning, please wipe the mat up with a dry cloth. In the winter season, condensation of moisture might occur. Please avoid moisture and dry the mat constantly in the shaded and well-ventilated room.
