MIINA Japanese Traditional Tatami Mattress, Igusa (Rush Grass) Floor Mat, Futon, 39"x 78"(Twin Natural)

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.

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.

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.

I ordered two of these to push together (for some reason that was cheaper than a queen mat). I use mine to put under my futon that I sleep on. It doesn't really provide comfort, but I appreciate the barrier between the bed and the floor. And it just looks nice, as it adds a border around my bed. They're still going strong! No mold, no tears, no stains. They'll last if you take care of them. And yes, they have a grassy smell, but it lessens with time and also doesn't bother me.

Natural cooling mattress topper. Very light weight. Easy to roll up when not in use. Long lasting cooling during sleep! Very nice quality. Will buy again. Fit twin sized bed exactly and cover the pillows as well.

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
