Framed Three-Mat Tatami Set
Our Framed Three-Mat Set is a popular configuration that creates a dedicated, multi-purpose area within a larger room. The wide, stable layout suits a range of uses:
- Dining and living: A low-level dining setting with a table (such as a kotatsu), cushions and/or zaisu (floor chairs).
- Sleeping: A natural, supportive base for one of our Japanese futons. This is the minimum setup we recommend for using standard mats under a futon.
Construction and Options
These are genuine Japanese tatami mats, built for durability and comfort. They are quality everyday mats, made for regular use in Australian homes, rather than the top-grade specialist mats that sell for very high prices in Japan.
- Surface: The igusa rush grass surface gives the mat its natural aroma and a firm, supportive texture.
- Core: The thick tatami core insulates, keeping the room cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
- Underside: The underside of each mat is lined with igusa off-cuts, or igusa not suitable for the top surface, instead of a synthetic backing, which reduces the amount of plastic in the mat. This eco-friendly construction gives the underside a rough, natural finish, which is normal for traditional tatami.
- Humidity: Tatami is known for its ability to naturally absorb and regulate humidity in a room.
- Frame: The wooden frame finishes the edges, conceals the stitching and locks the mats firmly together so they can't shift.It's 5cm high and deep all the way around, with a rounded bevel on the top outside edge.
Options
- Trim: Black, blue brocade, green and blue brocade or brown brocade.
- Frame colour: Natural or walnut brown.
The Japanache Difference
Japanache is a Japanese-Australian family business. We import our tatami from Kumamoto and our futons from Shikoku, and we have been importing from Japan since 2005. Read our story here. Based on the Gold Coast, we offer expert advice on creating a complete, authentic, Japanese-inspired space.
