MustMat Tatami Mat Japanese Futon Mattress Traditional Japanese Tatami Bed Rush Grass Folds Easily 35.4"x78.7"x1.2" (1 Piece)

Great, comfortable tatami mat. Background I had never used a tatami mat before except a couple nights in Japan so I was nervous if I can actually sleep in one comfortably on a daily basis. I wanted to save space and live more minimally. Well, I got this mat + a FULI futon. I find this to be surprisingly expensive, but it seems that every brand is. Matt When I got the mat, it had a strong grass smell and I let it air out for several days. To this day there is still a grass smell but I don't mind it. The appearance seems good quality, well-put together with no loose threads. The color is mainly greenish with some more yellow around the edges. I heard they turn more from green to yellow over the years. It is lightweight and firm, and insulates well against the cold floor undernearth. Sleep The first night I was shocked at how comfortable it is to lie in it. If I didn't know I could mistake it for a bed, I thought it would be much more of a change. I slept very comfortably on my side/stomach. Btw, my FULI futon is slightly wider and shorter than this matt. not the end of the world. When I woke up, I felt a little different than usual, maybe very faintly sore - a sign of getting adjusted. The next few nights I continued my test and slept exactly as normal or better, with no soreness or other unusual effects. Summary The matt takes me about 1 minute 30 seconds to put away in the morning. I find this very satisfying compared to the heavy constraints that come with a huge immovable bed. It is easier for me to adjust my space, and I sleep very comfortably on it. If I had a full size I believe it would be great to sleep with a partner as well. Overall despite the high price I am very happy with my matt.

Even happier with this than I thought I would be, for several reasons: it's more lightweight and sturdy than anticipated, it folds nicely for carrying, it has zippable carry-case, it has a wonderful (natural) smell, and the overall workmanship shows attention to detail. I found it comfortable to put under my sleeping bag and anticipate even more comfort when my shikibuton arrives. I might have paid and arm and a leg for a fancier one from another company, but I'm glad that I did not.

This is a good product, first of all. However, my issue was with the grass material and should not reflect the company service and workmanship in anyway. There was some allergic reaction to the grass in this product which I did not realize until many months later, where my skin on my face and eyes started acting up. Then two dermatologists told me to stop using it. I had this mat covered with several bed sheets and towels as well. That may have slowed down the reaction time, but three months later it has really affected me. I had to get rid of the mat. It was good for my back when I first got it, but it wasn't for my skin and body unfortunately. I would still recommend the product to people, just test it on your skin for a few days (a week maybe) directly and see if anything pops up.

Easy to fold/carry around with. Highly recommend it for people who can't sleep on regular beds. I bring it with me to every Airbnb places places. I either put it on the bed or on the floor. super comfy. And the bottom is anti slippery so it stays on. The thickens is just perfect if you sleep on the floor. I rarely leave reviews but my mom and I really love this product. I will post photos later

I opened the package and it’s bad smell. I saw there are lots bugs on the tatami.
