This unit tatami mat can be used as a mattress. The mat has been designed to perfectly match the size of futon mattresses, allowing you to easily lay out your futon on top of it. After putting away your futon, the mat can also be used to transform your space into a simple Japanese style room or into a play space for children. The mat’s igusa straw offers many benefits, including a natural air purifying effect as well as humidity control. The mat also controls the humidity underneath the futon. Spread it out underneath your futon for extra comfort without unwanted stuffiness.

The reason this item is lightweight and durable lies in its special needle punch processing of the backing material.

Needle punch processing is a manufacturing method where overlapping thin fibers are intertwined and compressed using numerous needles, tightly bonding the fibers together. This results in a dense and durable mat with high structural integrity.

Natural Benefits of Rush Grass

  • Air Purification

    Rush grass naturally absorbs certain airborne substances, including formaldehyde, helping improve indoor air quality.

  • Humidity Regulation

    Rush grass absorbs excess moisture and perspiration, helping maintain a comfortable environment.


  • Natural Deodorizing Effect

    Rush grass helps reduce common household odors, including perspiration and ammonia-related odors.

When it's folded

About Trifold and Five fold

Made with Rush grass sourced from Kyushu, Japan

Pure Japanese rush grass, grown with clean water and fresh air, has a distinct toughness and resilience compared to its imported counterparts.

Japanese-grown rush grass is known for its superior density, resilience, and durability compared to many imported alternatives.

The fibers are more tightly packed, making the material:

  • More elastic
  • More durable
  • More resistant to cracking
  • Longer lasting

Hiba Wood Treatment

This product is treated with natural Hiba wood extract sourced from Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

Using proprietary processing technology, Hiba essence is infused into the material. Hiba extract contains hinokitiol, a naturally occurring compound known for its antibacterial and deodorizing properties.

Compared with untreated products, the Hiba treatment helps maintain freshness while adding the pleasant, forest-like aroma characteristic of Hiba wood.

The natural scent of Hiba is often associated with the relaxing atmosphere of a forest retreat, enhancing the comfort of your living space.
