What isMigusa?

Migusa is a new type of tatami developed by Sekisuithat delivers modern-day functional performance while
retaining the authentic texture and feel of all-natural mat rush.
Migusa is a unique product made from traditional mat rush together with a specially developed plastic
containing inorganic calcium. The mat rush delivers the authentic texture and feel of tatami matting
while the plastic component enhances durability, improves product safety and allows greater flexibilityof design and color schemes.

degradation over time and excellent resistance to common problems suchas strand splitting. Product replacement intervals are therefore much longer.

Tatami mats specially designed for floor heaters—
bringing extra warmth to a Japanese room
Until now, tatami matting has never combined well with floor

heating systems, due to issues with thermal conductivity,
dimensional consistency and durability. Sekisui has developed
an ultra-thin tatami mat designed for use with in-floor heating
systems. Measuring just 12 mm in thickness, it features a
special high-conductivity core for optimum thermal transfer
along with the same high-quality Migusa surface layer.
