Welcome to the world of refined elegance and timeless tradition with our high-quality square Japanese tatami mat, carefully crafted in the traditional Japanese way and made with sustainable materials. Discover the perfect harmony between traditional craftsmanship and modern sustainability.
Our tatami mats are made with a core of 100% rice straw, which is naturally dried and shaped according to the strictest standards of the Japanese Agricultural Society. This forms the basis for a silky-soft surface of premium rush grass, tightly woven and reinforced with multiple lines of yarn for optimal support and ventilation. Enjoy the distinctive scent of dried straw, which adds a touch of authentic Japanese ambiance to any room.
Whether it is a Japanese-inspired tea room, a soothing bedroom, or a playful children's room, our tatami mats add a touch of understated luxury to any environment. Combine them with one of our Karup design futon beds or futon mattresses, or arrange them in a pattern for a seamless integration of comfort and style.
Tatami patterns
Laying tatami floor patterns offers a creative and versatile way to create a unique and attractive space. Traditionally, tatami mats in Japan were arranged in a specific way to indicate the layout and function of a room, but today there are many more opportunities to experiment with different patterns and layouts. Here are some suggestions for laying tatami floor patterns:
- Classic Japanese pattern: This is the traditional pattern where the tatami mats are laid tightly next to each other, with one mat in the center of the room and the other mats arranged around it. This pattern is often used in Japanese teahouses and traditional rooms.
- Staggered patterns: Arranging the tatami mats in staggered rows creates a dynamic and visually interesting pattern. This can add a modern touch to a space while still maintaining the traditional aesthetic.

Maintenance
All tatami mats must be kept dry to prevent mold. We recommend only wiping your tatami with a slightly damp cloth and not using harsh cleaners or a vacuum cleaner along the fabric of the tatami. Going against the direction of weaving can damage the tatami or cause dirt to be pushed into it. When vacuuming, make sure you choose the weakest setting and use a brush head.
Tatami mats are sensitive to moisture, do not leave carpet or other covering material on a tatami mat, as this creates a humid environment for fungi. We recommend cleaning and airing the tatami from time to time. Dry and sunny days are best for airing the tatami mats.
