A refined interpretation of Japanese-inspired sleeping, the Balance Single Bed with Tatami combines sculptural simplicity with natural warmth. Traditional rice straw tatami mats form the mattress base, offering natural breathability, gentle insulation, and a stable supportive surface while introducing the calm, intimate zen atmosphere. Suitable for both classic futons and modern mattresses, the bed can be paired with a matching headboard and bedside table and customised in a wide range of sizes and colours.
Crafted from solid beech wood, the Balance Single Bed with Tatami expresses elegance through carefully balanced proportions and refined detailing. Its distinctive frame features 7 cm-wide horizontal beams that highlight the natural grain of the wood, while the inner supporting structure forms a subtle L-shaped profile that combines visual lightness with strength.
Traditional rice straw tatami mats are placed over solid wood slats, creating a naturally breathable and supportive mattress base with a calm, intimate character inspired by Japanese interiors. To further emphasise the tatamis, the bed can be paired with a slightly slimmer mattress and a wider frame size, such as 120 cm, allowing the mats to remain visible on either side.
The wide angular feet taper gently toward the floor, giving the bed a grounded yet airy appearance. Suitable for both traditional futons and modern mattresses, the bed can also be complemented with accessories such as a matching headboard or bedside table. More details can be found in the "Accessories" section.
Internal width: customizable between 80 and 120 cm.
Internal length: customizable between 200 and 220 cm.
Bed height: customizable between 20 and 40 cm. The height is measured from the floor to the upper edge of the bed frame.
External dimensions: 14 cm more than the internal dimension. For example, a bed with internal dimensions of 80 x 200 cm will have the following external dimensions: 94 x 214cm. With a wooden headboard the external length increases by about 4 cm. This means that a bed with a headboard and internal length of 200 cm will have an external dimension of 218 cm.

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.
For more details on our finishes, visit the wood finishes page.
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.
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.
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
Wooden headboard: In the accessories section you can find a wooden headboard to the frame. It is available with a straight design or tapered towards the top featuring a diagonal cut. For single beds, we recommend choosing the straight version for widths up to 100 cm.
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.
