Karup Design Tatami

The authentic, superior quality tatami mats are carefully crafted in the traditional Japanese style. It starts by creating a core of rice straw, naturally kiln dried and compressed to the specific standards of the Japanese Agricultural Society and the United States Department of Agriculture. This core is covered with a silky smooth surface made from first grade, long rush grasses, tightly woven and then stitched with multiple lines of yarn to provide the precise tension required for comfortable support and restful sleep. Made from renewable resources, the tatami mats are environmentally friendly and durable enough to last up to 20 years with proper care. You'll be glad to retire to them at night and proud to offer them as guest accommodations.
