Tatami mat and futon recommendations?

I skipped the mats as well and built a small platform bed. Be aware the futon mattress are pretty heavy for their size. I still like it lots, although its a queen size and never gets put up, its still beats mattress/spring/ lumps/ frames, etc.

Best decently priced Authentic Japanese futon? and foldable tatami mat
I bought a frame from tatamiroom.com. I bought tatami mats from Tokyo Tatami Maker. They’re custom made to fit in the frame.  You can order samples from Tokyo Tatami Maker before you buy. Tokyo Tatami Maker has a lot of choices. I did not choose the igusa. Igusa has a natural hay/grass-like scent. The odor fades over time. Personally I don’t find the odor offensive; just very strong. I’m scent sensitive so the igusa odor would definitely bother me while trying to sleep.  I bought the Tokyo Gloss checkered pattern from the Tokyo series. The Tokyo Series Gloss can be wiped with a damp cloth if needed. I’m buying a mattress from Matsu; they’re in California. Matsu was recommended by another Reddit poster.  I’m getting the four inch wool and cotton mattress. I called Matsu. They make their own mattresses. The woman I spoke with was very nice. J Life International sells Gold Bond mattresses. Gold Bond is an American company.  I bought a Gold Bond mattress years ago for a living room futon chair. Bought it from a local futon store.  I still have it. Gold Bond futon mattresses come in different models. The Gold Bond mattresses I saw are the typical cotton & foam American futon. They’re not bad mattresses but definitely not a shikibuton. I suspect J Life Internstional may not be as Japanese as they lead people to believe. More on reddit.com

Considering downsizing to a futon. Is a tatami mat required?

i believe the tatami mats are to allow air to flow underneath the mattress which prevents molding. if you don’t get the tatami mat you should make sure you to flip the futon often!

What is the difference between 'futon' and 'tatami'? Are they interchangeable terms for beds in Japan, or do they have different meanings? - Quora
Answer (1 of 2): Neither word means “bed”. Futon is a bed covering, serving like a blanket (but better). Tatami is a type of flooring, made of rice stalk matting, and hence very soft. Never wear shoes on such flooring, or even slippers. Stocking feet only.
