MIINA Japanese Traditional Tatami Mat, Igusa (Rush Grass) Floor Mattress, Futon, 55"x78" (Full, Natural)

First it was great but after a few days completely with mold and i needed to throw it away, very misfortunate. (I was using it 2-3 times the rest of time it was standing on the air like recommended)

Si es perfecto

The tatami very high quality.

I removed my 8-inch-thick king-size memory foam mattress from my bed frame, and laid down a king-size tatami over the slats. Then I put a thin 4-inch twin-xl futon over the tatami. Works great. Sometimes I lie on the mattress, sometimes directly on the tatami. So much less back and shoulder pain then I had with the "biggest and best" memory foam mattress. I'm thinking about getting rid of the frame all-together, and just putting the tatami and futon on the ground. Other reviewers said the tatami smelled too much like grass, but mine (unfortunately) lost that smell very quickly. I wish it was more fragrant than it is. Great purchase. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with pain in bed.

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.

Do NOT buy this. It molded—just discovered today, 10 months since purchase—and it looks like product support has “closed.” I even used a waterproof mattress cover, so I suspect the mat had been exposed to moisture before it got to me.
