The invention of Tatami goes so back in time that it’s observed to be a part of lots of Japanese proverbs “strategy planning on tatami,” meaning all talk and no action, and “even if a room has 1,000 tatami, a person only needs one to sleep on,” meaning don’t take more than you need.
While a Tatami bed is calming for adults, it’s a smart and safe choice for kids. Having no scope of them falling off their beds sure must come as a huge relief to new parents.
Tatami beds are perfect for a minimal design theme but it can also be used in a modern one. If you are decorating a modern bedroom design, then tatami beds with large plush headboard in fine wood finishes would be an ideal choice.
Whether you use a Tatami bed for a minimal bedroom home or a modern bedroom home design, with or without a Tatami mat, it sure will make you feel like you’re closer to nature, and even yourself.
