Tatami Mat FAQ

What are the main materials used in tatami mats?

Our tatami mats are made in Japan using 100% igusa, a plant traditionally used for tatami surfaces. Igusa is known for its fresh scent and moisture-absorbing properties. We also use high-quality Japanese washi paper, which is resin-coated to enhance durability and water resistance.

How should I care for my tatami mat every day?

To maintain your tatami mat, follow these simple steps:

  • Dry Wipe: Use a dry cloth or soft brush to gently wipe the surface, removing dust and dirt.
  • Vacuum: Run a vacuum cleaner along the grain of the tatami to clean effectively without causing damage.
  • Ventilation: Regularly open windows to ventilate the room and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold.
  • Dehumidify: Use a dehumidifier during humid seasons to reduce mold risk.

What is the lifespan of a tatami mat?

The lifespan of a tatami mat varies based on material and usage. Igusa tatami mats typically last 7-10 years, while washi tatami mats can last 10-13 years. Proper care and regular ventilation can extend their life.

How should I store my tatami mat?

Follow these steps to store your tatami mat properly:

  1. 1Clean: Thoroughly clean the mat with a dry wipe and vacuum to remove dust and dirt.
  2. Dry: Ensure the mat is completely dry to prevent mold. Place it in a well-ventilated area for several days or use a dryer.
  3. Anti-Mold Treatment: Spray both sides of the mat with an anti-mold spray.
  4. Store: Roll the mat and place it in a sealed plastic or non-woven fabric bag with mothballs to prevent insects or moisture from entering. Store in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid placing it directly on the floor; use a shelf or platform (this allows for ventilation).

Futon FAQ

What are the main materials used in futons?

Our futons are Made in Japan and consist of the following materials:

Cover: 100% Cotton

  • Natural Material: Cotton is a natural fiber known for its excellent breathability and moisture absorption.
  • Softness: It is soft to the touch, providing a comfortable and warm feeling.
  • Allergy-Friendly: Cotton is relatively safe for people with allergies, making it a good choice for sensitive individuals.

Filling: 50% Wool, 50% Polyester (Anti-Dust Mite, Antibacterial, and Deodorizing Treatment)

  • Wool:
  • Insulation: Wool is a natural insulator, offering excellent warmth in winter and moisture absorption to keep cool in summer.
  • Moisture Absorption: Wool absorbs moisture and releases it, keeping the inside of the futon comfortable even if you sweat during sleep.
  • Elasticity: Wool is naturally elastic, conforming to your body for a comfortable sleep experience.

  • Polyester:
  • Durability: Polyester is a synthetic fiber known for its high durability and resistance to wear and tear.
  • Lightweight: Polyester helps to keep the futon lightweight, making it easier to handle.
  • Hygienic: Polyester is treated as an anti-dust mite, antibacterial, and deodorizing agent, ensuring the futon remains clean and fresh.

Core: Four-Part Balanced Urethane Foam

  • Synthetic Material: Urethane foam is a lightweight and resilient synthetic material.
  • Pressure Distribution: The foam is divided into four sections with varying firmness for the head, back, waist, and feet, ensuring even body pressure distribution.
  • Support: This design provides optimal support for each body part, promoting comfortable and restful sleep.
  • Breathability: Urethane foam is breathable, enhancing overall sleeping comfort.

By combining these materials, our futons offer a perfect balance of comfort, support, and durability.

How do I care for my futon daily?

Here are some tips for daily futon care:

  • Sun Drying: Air the futon in the sun on sunny days to remove moisture. Dry both sides for best results.
  • Light Beating: Gently beat the futon with a futon beater to remove dust, but avoid vigorous beating to prevent damage.
  • Vacuum: Use a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle attachment to remove dust and mites.

What is the lifespan of a futon?

The lifespan of a futon can vary based on usage and care. Typically, the outer filling wears out first, followed by the core (urethane foam in this case). The general replacement period is 3-5 years, but this can vary depending on usage frequency and the user's needs.

How should I store my futon?

To store your futon properly, follow these steps:

  • Sun Dry: Air the futon with its cover on to prevent the fabric from sun damage. Dry both sides for 2-3 hours each.
  • Clean: Wipe the soiled area with a damp cloth if the futon gets dirty. Since this futon cannot be washed at home, use a cover to protect it and wash the cover regularly.
  • Store in a Bag: After drying, place the futon in a breathable storage bag and store it in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or damp places.
  • Periodic Sun Drying: Even when not in use, periodically air the futon in the sun to prevent moisture buildup and maintain freshness.
