Is it suitable to install tatami in children's room? Where is tatami suitable to be installed?

We all know that tatami is a popular home decoration. Many people have tatami in their homes. It can be used for rest and storage, and it is very practical. Although tatami is better, there are certain requirements for installing tatami. So is tatami suitable for children's rooms? Let's take a closer look!

Can tatami be installed in children's room?

From the perspective of children's physical and mental health, it is not recommended to install tatami in children's rooms. The reasons are as follows:

1. Poor air permeability

Children's bodies are in a period of growth and development, so good sleep is particularly important. Tatami has poor air permeability. Sleeping on it for a long time will not help the air flow under the bedding, which is not good for the child's physical development.

2. Tatami mattresses are not comfortable

Although children cannot sleep on a too soft bed due to their physical development, the tatami has a small number of mattresses to choose from due to its unique requirements. The thickness is generally 5 to 10 cm, and the mattress needs to be customized according to the size of the tatami. It is far less comfortable than a traditional mattress. Moreover, not all traditional mattresses are soft, and there are many that are suitable for children to sleep on.

3. Tatami has high formaldehyde content

As we all know, formaldehyde is more harmful to children's nutrition. Tatami has a higher formaldehyde content because it is made of more boards. In addition, tatami has poor air permeability. Formaldehyde cannot be discharged in time after volatilization, but accumulates in children's rooms. In the long run, it has a great impact on children's health.

Where is the best place to install tatami?

Generally, tatami is suitable for small apartments with relatively tight space:

Bay window as tatami

The cost of doing this is relatively low. If you want to make use of the existing small bay window at home, you can buy a straw mat + a tea tray + tea set + two straw mats on Taobao to make a small tea room. When you are free, you can sit by the bay window, drink tea and think about life.

If you want to have a better feel, spend a little more money to change the inner window to a Japanese sliding window, buy two cushions, and get a Japanese tea stove, which can also be used as a bay window for drinking tea. (Don't make random changes to the outer window. If you want to change it, contact the property management in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.)

If the bay window in your home can be modified, just remove it and make a tatami window sill with a storage cabinet, and arrange it as you like.

Balcony tatami

If the balcony at home is wide enough and the family pays more attention to hygiene and cleans frequently, you can directly seal the balcony and lay a tatami on the ground, preferably with storage. In this way, there will be an extra tatami activity room, with straw mats, you can sunbathe, drink tea, read books, etc., which is also a unique flavor~

Tatami in the study room

Nowadays, when you go to those custom-made tatami companies, they also like to recommend you the ones with lifting and storage functions, which can be used as desks and guest beds. However, after all, they are very modern industrial things, and have lost the natural atmosphere of traditional tatami. If you are persistent in this aspect, it is not recommended to use such things.

It is better to make it specially customized. If your study room does not face the sun, do not make tatami. If you make tatami, you will not feel comfortable sitting on it.

Advantages and disadvantages of tatami

advantage:

1. Save space

Its biggest advantage is that it saves space. Many friends who live in small apartments will choose tatami, which makes their homes less crowded and has a strong sense of style.

2. Convenient for the elderly and children

We know that the height of tatami is limited, but it is more convenient for the elderly and children. For the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet, tatami is a good choice; for children, because it is relatively short, there is no need to worry about children falling down due to sleep disturbance, and it is a hard bed. It is good for the bone development of growing children.

3. Leisure and entertainment integration

The tatami is designed to integrate leisure and entertainment. Remove the mattress and open the lift platform, and this place will become a leisure and entertainment space where you can play cards and chat with friends.

4. Storage function

It has a good storage function, and some winter clothes and quilts can be stored here.

shortcoming:

We know that it has a good storage function, so many friends will put some items in it for storage, but try not to put commonly used items in it, because it is too difficult to open it back and forth, it is very heavy, and it is not convenient to move.

The air permeability is not good, so you must take precautions and ventilate frequently, otherwise it will easily breed insects.
