Made of solid laminated beech, the Zen Japanese Single Bed with Tatami combines minimalist elegance with enduring strength. Its clean frame highlights the natural beauty of the wood and creates a calm, harmonious atmosphere. The breathable, supportive tatami mat adds a warm, inviting touch, forming a serene Zen corner perfect for rest.
The Japanese Zen Single Bed with Tatami combines minimalist design with a compact, clean structure, perfect even for smaller spaces. Crafted from eco-friendly solid beech wood, it blends effortlessly into any interior, offering lasting strength and years of peaceful, restorative sleep.
This version features a tatami mat resting on rigid wooden slats, suitable for any futon or traditional mattress. The tatami creates a naturally breathable, stable, and comfortable base, fostering a balanced microclimate and the cozy, harmonious atmosphere typical of Japanese interiors.
Since tatami mats have a fixed length of 200 cm, selecting a longer internal bed length adds a wooden extension panel at the head of the bed, placed beside the tatami on the slatted base to achieve the desired size.
Internal width: customizable between 80 and 120 cm.
Internal length: customizable between 200 and 220 cm.
Bed height: customizable from 20 to 50 cm. The height is measured from the floor to the upper edge of the bed frame.
External dimensions: + 7 cm more than the internal dimension. For example, a Zen bed with internal dimensions of 80 x 200 cm will have the following external dimensions: 87 x 207 cm. With a wooden headboard the external length increases by about 11 cm. This means that a bed with a headboard and internal length of 200 cm will have an external dimension of 218 cm.
Bed frame and slats: solid finger jointed beech wood
Tatami: Straw weave
Tatami Edge: Fabric (70% cotton and 30% polyester)
Bed frame and slats: solid finger jointed beech wood
Finishings
In the product configuration options, you can choose untreated beech, for a natural and authentic look, or opt for one of our eco-friendly, water-based finishes, developed to enhance the wood grain while protecting the surface over time. Our palette, inspired by different wood species, allows the piece to integrate naturally and elegantly into a wide range of interiors. Free samples are available on request, so you can see the finishes in person.
Beyond our standard range, you may also select a custom RAL colour by providing the numerical code. In this case, we prepare a dedicated sample and send it to you for approval before proceeding with the final finish of the furniture.

This bed is assembled using a metal free wooden pin interlocking system. This creates a more neutral sleeping environment and may help reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF), supporting a calmer, more restful sleep.
Adding a headboard will require using screws, which introduces metal into the frame.
Our tatami mats are made from 100% natural straw with no synthetic fillings, featuring a visible weave on both the top and bottom that reflects their high-quality craftsmanship.
The straw releases a subtle, natural scent, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The dense weave provides excellent breathability and thermal insulation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter, and helping maintain an ideal microclimate. The firm surface supports the body evenly, encouraging proper posture and relieving muscle tension.
To showcase the weave aesthetically, we recommend pairing the bed with a slightly narrower mattress, leaving a portion of the tatami exposed on either side.
To complete the bed, you can add a wooden headboard from the configuration options and bedside tables, a futon mattress and dedicated bed linen from the ‘Accessories’ section.
Here follows more detailed information about accessories that integrate directly with the bed frame, affecting its configuration and function.
Headboards
Zen wooden headboard: In the configuration options, you can choose to add a wooden headboard to the frame. It is available in a straight design or with a tapered top featuring a diagonal cut. For single beds, we recommend choosing the straight version for widths up to 100 cm. Please note that adding the headboard requires screws, so the bed will no longer be entirely metal-free.
Futon headboard: As an alternative to the integrated wooden headboard, you can also choose the futon headboard from the ‘Accessories’ section. It consists of a futon cushion suspended from the wall by a wooden rod, available in the same finishes as the frame. Futon cushions come in a wide range of colours.
Futon
The tatami base creates a continuous, breathable surface that provides uniform support across the entire sleeping area. Thanks to this, the bed can be paired with any type of futon, from the thinnest pure cotton models to thicker versions with more substantial fillings, including latex and/or coir. The bed is also fully compatible with traditional mattresses, such as memory foam or pocket spring models.
If varnished, the wood can be cleaned with a sponge dampened with a little water and, if necessary, a specific wood cleaner. If left untreated, the wood can only be vacuumed or dusted. It should absolutely not be wet, to prevent the surface from becoming rough. If this happens, however, the surface can be smoothed again by sanding it with a gentle sandpaper (180 grit).
The tatami mat can be cleaned with a dry cloth or even a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, even from the middle of the weave. These mats must always be kept completely dry, so it's advisable to check them occasionally in the colder months to ensure they aren't absorbing moisture. If the environment in which they are located is very humid, simply airing them may not be enough; in this case, we recommend using a dehumidifier.
