Natural Japanese Igusa Tatami Mat, 100 x 200 cm

Traditional Japanese flooring: A tatami is a Japanese floor mat woven from soft rush called “Igusa,” which has been popular in Japan for over 1,000 years. Authentic tatami mats are thick, heavy, and difficult to handle and maintain, but the Batel Huh folding tatami mat is lightweight and easy to carry and store. Versatile uses: Use it as a base for a Japanese futon mattress for a restful night’s sleep. It’s also suitable for meditation and yoga, or as a reusable floor mat. Enjoy its pleasant feel under bare feet and take a moment to relax. It folds easily, can be carried anywhere, and takes up little space when not in use. Outstanding features of tatami mats: The natural Igusa rush helps regulate humidity thanks to the many small spaces within its fibers. It absorbs moisture and releases it to maintain a comfortable level of humidity. This helps you stay dry and cool in summer, while retaining warm air and keeping the cold floor at bay in winter. It also provides a base for your Japanese futon mattress if you sleep on the floor. Relaxing and soothing effect: The distinctive tatami fragrance, nostalgic for many Japanese people, is said to help you relax and concentrate. If you’re unfamiliar with the scent and find it too strong, leave the mat in a well-ventilated place until it fades. Its natural, undyed color gradually changes over time and develops a pleasing sheen with repeated wiping using a dry cloth. Care: Wipe the mat with a dry cloth before use or when cleaning it. Condensation may occur in winter. Keep the mat away from moisture and dry it regularly in a shaded, well-ventilated room.
