Think of a Japanese tatami and what comes to mind is likely a brownish roll-out straw mat similar to what you’d find at a ryokan, but recently making its viral rounds on Facebook is a modern interpretation of this traditional floorpiece. Created by Japanese company Momomi is the Soft Touch Tatami Mat which has a pillowy-soft texture and comes in 11 attractive colours and a ton of dimensions - including customisable options - available for purchase in Singapore.

The Momomi Soft Touch Tatami Mat is basically a carpet that’s softer than the regular sort, with a smooth velvety surface and a pillowy fuwa-fuwa texture thanks to its High Elastic PuffySponge technology.

You’ll first be drawn in by their extensive range of 11 tasteful colour options, including soft pastels like Peach and Beige. Those who wish to give their rooms an extra girly touch can go for feminine hues like Red Bean and Violet, though there are also more gender-netural ones like Coffee, a neutral tan, and bolder tones like Navy and Green Tea.

Looks aside, the Momomi Soft Touch Tatami Mat also has properties that’ll bring joy to any homeowner who likes keeping things low-maintenance: An anti-slip design, noise reduction abilities, long-lasting shape, and an easy-to-clean surface that’s quick-drying so any spills and stains can be wiped away without hassle. Great for those with messy kids!

Another thing that stands out is its durability. Even if you were to place, say, a coffee table on it, any dents created by the table legs will eventually rise, leaving the mat looking as good as new in no time.

All of the above pros have been corroborated by happy reviewers who’ve bought the mat for themselves, so it sounds like you won’t go wrong here!

The rectangular tatami mat comes in a whopping 12 standard sizes, but if nothing suits your fancy, you can also get them to customise something for you. Customisation can also be done for irregular dimensions - such as L-shaped or U-shaped to accommodate your bed or sofa set. You could even ask for a hexagonal mat for placing in a baby’s playpen!
