How to use tatami beds and precautions

 In this article, we will introduce what a tatami bed is, how to use it to get a good night's sleep, and precautions. Please use it as a reference when choosing a bed.



What is a tatami bed?


A tatami bed is a bed that uses tatami mats for the floorboards. They come in single and double sizes, and there are many designs that are rich in interior design. The specific features of the tatami bed are explained in the following items.


Features of tatami bed


Here, in addition to the advantages and disadvantages of tatami beds, we will introduce features such as sleeping comfort.


Benefits of tatami beds


Here are some of the benefits of tatami beds.


Although it is a Western-style room, it meets the demand of people who want to sleep on tatami mats and like the Japanese atmosphere.

By using a tatami bed, you can sleep on tatami mats even in a Western-style room. Also, by placing it in the room, a Japanese atmosphere is created. For example, a Western-style room will have a modern Japanese atmosphere.


Get a firmer sleep


The tatami bed is perfect for those who want a firmer sleep. People with back pain may have back pain with a mattress that is too soft, but a stiff bed is a relief. On the contrary, it is not suitable for people who are not good at stiffening.


Good compatibility with mattresses (high cushioning)


There is an idea of ​​"elastic three-layer structure" that three layers with different hardness are required for a person to sleep comfortably. Tatami has high cushioning properties and moderate hardness, so when combined with a mattress, it becomes an ideal bedding based on the idea of ​​"elastic three-layer structure".


Easy to stand and sit and raise and lower the futon


The height of the tatami bed makes it easy to raise and lower the futon. It's also easier to stand and sit than laying a mattress on a tatami mat. Even those who have trouble raising and lowering their futons every day can sleep on the mattresses.


It is also a measure against house dust


30 cm from the floor is called the "dust zone", and dust and house dust are flying even if there is no movement of people. If you lay a futon directly on the floor and sleep, you may inhale house dust. If you use a bed frame, you can sleep at a distance from the floor, which is also a measure against house dust.


Warm in winter and cool in summer


Tatami mats made from natural plant materials such as straw and rush are excellent in humidity control. It adjusts the room to a moderate humidity, so it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and you can maintain a comfortable sleeping environment throughout the year.


It has a nice rush scent


The rush used for tatami has a nice scent that makes you feel relieved. You can expect the effects of relaxing and getting a good night's sleep by being wrapped in the scent of rush every day. In addition, rush also has a deodorant effect, which suppresses the odor of the room.


You can create a room that feels quiet


Since tatami contains a lot of air, it is also excellent in soundproofing. Since it absorbs impact sounds and everyday sounds, it can reduce noise during the day as well as during sleep.


Disadvantages of tatami beds


The disadvantages of tatami beds are explained in detail here.

There is a problem of wear and fading of the tatami mat

Friction causes the tatami mat to wear out or fade.


Easy to mold


If you leave the futon on, the humidity will be high and mold will grow easily. To prevent the growth of mold, take proper measures against humidity, such as folding the futon and letting the tatami mats ventilate.


More space is used compared to floor + mattress


When placing a tatami mattress (bed), it is the same that the mattress can be cleaned up like the floor, but it uses extra space for the bed frame. If the bed has a storage function, you do not need to put a storage shelf or chest, which is a measure to make the room smaller.


How to choose a tatami bed


What kind of points should I be aware of when choosing a tatami bed? Here, we will show you how to choose a tatami bed.


Choose one with good breathability


If it is well-ventilated, it will also prevent moisture and mold and lead to a comfortable sleep. Good breathability is important, especially for people who sweat a lot. Once mold has formed, it takes time and effort to remove it. Therefore, it is important not only to choose a well-ventilated room, but also to ventilate the room regularly.


Choose good quality tatami mats


The point is to confirm the origin of the tatami mats used for tatami beds. Most of the rushes used for tatami mats are made overseas, and they are of poor quality or easily damaged due to transportation problems. Overseas production is cheap, but we recommend tatami mats made from high-quality domestic rush.


However, domestic rushes are not widely distributed, so even if you have no choice but to choose overseas rushes, consult with the store's advisor and choose a good quality rush.


Choose by paying attention to functionality


In terms of functionality, make sure that you have storage space. If you have a lot of things and clothes in your room, you don't need to put a chest of drawers if the bed frame has storage.


Even if there is no storage space, you can increase the storage space later by combining it with an optional shelf. Our tatami bed "Yamabuki-Yamabuki-" has its own free shelf (sold separately), so it is recommended for those who want a little storage space.


How to use tatami bed


I will explain how to actually use the tatami bed.


Use by laying Japanese-type bedding (mattress)


On the tatami bed, lay common Japanese-style bedding that you would normally use in a tatami room. There are various types of mattresses, such as "wool mattresses" and "cotton cotton mattresses," which have different characteristics and comfort. It's a good idea to choose your favorite mattress that you feel comfortable with.


No need for a bed mattress


When using tatami beds, bed mattresses such as coil mattresses and spring mattresses are basically unnecessary. This is because if you leave the mattress on, the tatami mats will absorb moisture and mold. If you usually want to lay a bed mattress, use a dehumidifying sheet.


Don't leave bedding on


If you leave the mattress on the tatami bed, it may cause mold, so avoid it. After waking up, it is important to fold the futon and blow the tatami mats to release the moisture. For those who find it difficult to raise and lower the futon every day, choosing a tall bed frame will reduce the burden.


Precautions when using tatami beds


Here, we will explain the points to be aware of when using a tatami bed.

Take measures against humidity


When using a tatami bed, it is essential to take measures against humidity to prevent the growth of mold. As I explained earlier, it is important to fold and store the mattress every day and take measures against moisture in the tatami mats.


Use a dehumidifying sheet


Tatami is not essential because it has a hygroscopic function, but if it is difficult to store the mattress every day, we recommend using a dehumidifying sheet. Place a dehumidifying sheet that matches the size of the bed between the mattress and the tatami mat. When the color of the dehumidification sensor changes, it can be reused by drying it in the sun and letting it release moisture.


Keep the tatami mat clean


The tatami mat is a part where dust and dirt easily collect. Therefore, clean it regularly with a vacuum cleaner. If mold develops, vacuum light mold and wipe off severe mold with bleach.


Recommended tatami bed

Summary


The tatami bed has various merits such as a firm sleeping comfort and a good compatibility with the mattress. In fact, when choosing a tatami bed, check the functionality and quality and choose the one that suits you best.
