Tatami Bed in Japanese Style

 

The Raku Japanese Tatami Bed

In Japan, Raku can be translated as "Comfort or Simple Comfort", and our Japanese Tatami platform bed is the perfect expression of simple comfort. Simple as in easy to set up and enjoy, comfort as in lie back and relax. Embodying the Zen principles of simplicity in style and in harmony with nature, our unique Tatami Bed incorporates simple designs themes that are comfortable to the senses and pleasing to the eye.

In addition, the Raku tatami bed is an all-natural product. What this means is that there is nothing synthetic in our bed. No particleboard, no chemical stains or petroleum based paints, no toxic glues that off-gas into the sleeping area, are used in the bed. Made from solid wood and natural-based stains, our Raku is an all-natural product made in harmony with the environment. In addition, the bedframe does not use any nails, screws or steel dowels for assembly. Instead the corners are joined together by means of a ingenious slot, locking system that is simple, sturdy, easy to put together, and easy to take down. The spine does utilize three bolts for a secure and sturdy foundation. The sturdy slats are also made of hardwood and are not stained for all of the Raku beds.

The Raku Tatami bed is unique in that it incorporates two Japanese Tatami mats as a platform surface. Tatami mats have been used for hundreds of years in Japan as a floor covering or bed surface. Our Tatami mats have been updated for modern use and are constructed of 4 layers of natural fiber sheets covered with a high-grade, tightly-woven straw, sewn to the base layers.

Placed on the slat platform structure of the Raku bed, our Tatami mats are the ideal surface upon which to place a latex, memory foam, or futon mattress, or any style of mattress. The tatami mats eliminate the need for a box spring. Or if you would prefer, take away the tatami mats, place them on the floor for a sitting, mediation area, or tea area, and rest your mattress directly on the slats. Either way you are creating the perfect sleeping environment, by allowing air to circulate throughout the mattress and sleeping area, an essential element of our Total Sleep Care System.
