Japanese Traditional Igusa (Rush Grass) Tatami Mattress, Sleeping Mat, Japanese futon Mattress, Goza Mat (Full_XL, Natural) 59” X 79”

This was a nice experience overall and it seems well-made. I wanted to try a traditional igusa mat for a long time and finally got one. I put it on top of my Japanese futon (which was right on top of my western mattress). The smell was nice and pretty gentle. Hard to describe. Grassy, like a nice hay. It looked well-made and was smooth, easy to fold. The only thing is, I have allergies to all kinds of things like pollen/hay/certain grasses and I think that this igusa mat triggered them so I woke up with some sniffling and minor allergy symptoms. It could have also been a combination of other springtime allergies causing post nasal drip, I don't want to put the blame solely on this mat. In the end, I decided it's best for me to not sleep with it anymore...so if you're very sensitive or have allergies to a lot of things like me, it might not work for you as a mattress. But it was lovely to fall asleep to at night and the smell was comforting, it would work as a floor mat too. I wish I didn't have allergies. But definitely worth a try and glad I got to experience it at least for a bit :)

Bought to use as a cooling mattress topper for my memory foam mattress, which burns me up, figuring something like this should keep me cooler than wool or another type of foam would. I should have gotten a thicker mat though. I got the twin roll up mat, and it's very thin. It did help with the heat, a bit, I was able to turn onto my side and actually cool down, unlike before without it, and I believe it took longer for my back to get hot, but I'm thinking if I went with a thicker mat my back wouldn't have gotten hot at all. Seems like a good product for what it is. Mine had no smell at all, and the straps helped it stay in place on my mattress. So I have no complaints about the product, so far.

I bought this product some years ago. Now it barely smell but in the very beginning , it's natural herbal scent was WONDERFUL. I loved SO MUCH! Fantastic. Good quality product. Recommended.

Don't have much basis for comparison, but met my expectations. Non-skid underside isn't THAT non-skid, but if you're using this as some sort of floor cover it SHOULDN'T run away from beneath you and put you in splits. Just might wiggle and shimmy a bit. Would score higher if it really gripped, but it hasn't been an issue. Note: This is not "100%" Rush grass (it doesn't pretend to be). Joints and hem are synthetic. Plus or minus depending on who is buying. If I were to shop again I'd give the all natural products a look, but that said the joints on this are great. They fold both directions but still pull tight when laying flat. I don't notice any when sleeping directly on the mat - no futon - and the rush grass is comfortably smooth. Like I said, I don't really know the first thing about these sort of mats, it's made a great surface for a slatted platform bed. Wasn't cheap, but my back has thanked me, and I'm not sure the platform, tight as the slats are, would be comfortable with out. So it fits my purposes, looks nice, smells nice - if you're into that sort of thing, and is easy enough to manage clean, store. Just be ready to lean the thing up so it can air out regularly. It's easy enough, the mats are rigid aside from the joints. But you do need to exercise some good practice. For those concerned, the rush grass smell on mine went away in about three days. I'm not a fan, but I'm not especially bothers, had no issues sleeping on it right away. If you're more sensitive for whatever reason maybe give it a few days time on (dry) sunny days propped up in the sun before smothering yourself on it. Like I said, these stand up very easily, like folding screens. It's trivial to get them setup to air out. I personally just set mine up in a room with a dehumidifier because we don't see anything less than about 70% humidity, but only bothered with as much once. After I simply stood the joints up so there was air flow around all panels. EZ.

Enough cushion to sleep on my back without pain, not so soft that I don't want to get up and be productive in the morning or that I go back to it for anything besides stretching and sleep It's light weight and folds up nicely so I can move it out of my way and store it in the daytime without hastle or without it taking up a large space, I can tuck it away easily You don't sweat on this, it gets nice air flow in it it doesn't hold heat so I stay nice and cool. Especially if I move over slightly the new spot is always cool like the underside of a pillow. It's not the best for cold weather though, it doesn't like to heat up but that's easy to fix by sleeping with night clothes on or laying a thick blanket on the Matt before I lay on it and it holds my body head enough to be warm My spine feels amazing when I wake up

After searching for an affordable tatami mat and reading a lot of reviews about strong smells, I was worried this one would be like that, especially since it was one of the better priced ones. I am happy to report that the smell is mild- it is, after all, made of grass. But it is minimal, and a reminder of freshness and natural materials. Once I lay my shikibuton on top and have my sheets and blanket, there is no scent at all. This is coming from someone with a (too) sensitive sense of smell. In summary, this was very affordable, well made and low scent. Very happy!

This mat is really nice for the price. It's soft, has that rush grass smell to it, and it's made my whole apartment just smell wonderful. I was surprised, for how thin it is, that it was still so comfortable to sleep on. I wanted to see how I'd sleep with just the mat, even though I have a floor futon, to see what it's like sleeping on tatami. I was not disappointed in the least. I'm glad I made this purchase. Best thing I've found, when first unrolling, was the corner stays for a Japanse futon. I was really happy as I have a Full size futon and it slips right into the corner stays. I can even roll up the tatami mat with the futon for easy stowage.

Si es perfecto

اهديتها لأبي لكن لم يستخدمها لا اعلم اين ذهب بها

The tatami very high quality.

Ayuda a reforzar la base del futon y a no crear ese sudor que se forma en el piso (respira mejor).

Muy buen producto, de calidad. Entrega antes de lo programado, muy bien
