MAXYOYO Japanese Tatami Mat, Rush Grass Portable Folding Mat 79"x39"x0.47"

Thinner than I would like but it is as advertised. The smell is strong but I find it to be a pleasant "hay" scent. It has worked very well on hardwood floors to cut down on the moisture problem.

Love it. It's two mats and they aren't *exactly* the same size but I don't mind at all. I put cheap shelf liner strips under these to hold them in place on the floor a little better, seems to work alright. The rushes do smell strongly and not in a good way at first, but as the mats air out it's not so bad, it even mixes with my floral reed diffuser somewhat pleasantly. I expect it'll get more subtle with time. They're smooth and relaxing. My favorite thing is that they really complete my living room space, it's perfect for sitting on the floor with my knitting and tea when I want to decompress. I'm really glad I decided to get these instead of just sitting on the floor, even if it's only a little padding it clearly designates the space for relaxing purposes only. Just need some wall paint and it'll be heaven!

Don’t be confused, this is not a Japanese tatami mat. It is a tatami like area rug. I was aware of this before my purchase so it doesn’t affect my review. Soft enough to do yoga or PT exercises on, but not thick and soft enough to comfortably sleep on with a single futon on top. Stacking two futons will give you both the support and softness of a Japanese tatami. There is a faint smell of the rush grass but it will subside over a short period of time. Recommendations: *Don’t walk on it with outdoor shoes *If vacuuming, move your vacuum in the direction of the weaving. *Do not put furniture on top of it Enjoy it for what it is. The price is okay.

Exactly what’s advertised. Does have an odd smell to it. Not completely unbearable but still annoying lingering smell. Letting it air out for a few hours to see if it goes away.

This is a good thin Tatami mat. Folds up fairly small. Has a pleasant natural smell that fades a little overtime. Used for a few months and has worked well for me. I have used both thin and thick tatami mats and I think both are suitable for sleeping. A thin mat like this gets you extra portability, affordability, and space-saving. On carpeted floors it’s will do the job well.

I am writing this review nearly one year later from. I had hoped that eventually this thing would stop smelling as terrible as it does, but… the smell is as bad as it was when I first took it out of the box. The odor coming off of this thing expands throughout my entire apartment, if there are open doors, the odor just carries from room to room. If you close the door, it is as if the odor balls up inside that room and when you open the door, it’s like getting punched in the face by stink. I have left it outside in the sun for weeks thinking it might off-gas or something. Nope. It smells like a hamster cage, and not pleasantly at all. This thing is not cheap. And considering the price point compared to how much this thing smells absolutely awful, it is not worth the investment

I bought this months ago because my senior dog could no longer get on my bed. This was the perfect solution, she walks right on it now. It does still have that grass scent to it, natural -not funky. It has a felt like material on the bottom side so it won’t scratch my floors. And the thick woven grass keeps ventilation so it won’t mold. Perfect queen size. I like that it came in 2 folding halves, making it easily moved.

I would not recommend buying this mat. I originally bought a tatami mat (twin/cot size) from this company a few years ago, and I thought I would be receiving the same good quality. However, when I was reading through the reviews on this product and the issue of "smell" came up, I thought it was an exaggeration. It has now been 3 weeks and it still smells so grassy for no reason. The mat itself is foldable but incredibly thin. If I were you, please get a thicker mat with less fragrance, even if you have to spend more. I wish I did.

No es una pieza. Son dos piezas. Huele bien. Pero no es tan acolchado
