Recently, there have been voices against tatami mats on the Internet, saying that tatami mats are not breathable, easy to get damp and mildew, tatami storage is not easy to use, formaldehyde exceeds the standard..., all kinds of complaints say that tatami mats are useless!

For these complaints on the Internet, in fact, there are ways to alleviate them by using your brains, such as-

If you don't have the problem of breathability, you can make a hole in the tatami bed board, so that you can increase the breathability of the tatami mat!

It is easy to get damp and mildew, and the tatami mat on the top is perforated and breathable, which can basically solve the problem of damp mildew! In particularly humid areas, you can also put some desiccant inside the tatami mats, so that the mold problem can be cured.

The problem of storage is not easy to use, in fact, the outside of the tatami mat is used as a drawer, which is still very convenient to use; As for the inside of the tatami mat, it is really not easy to use when pressed by the mattress, but we can use it to put some things that "press the bottom of the box", and the mattress can be folded, so it will be easier to use.

Formaldehyde exceeds the standard, don't choose inferior miscellaneous brands, generally use E1 or more plates, plus open holes to strengthen ventilation, daily ventilation, basically do not have to worry about the problem of excessive formaldehyde.

Decoration sometimes "know too much, may not be a good thing", it is recommended that everyone look at tatami mats rationally - because for ordinary families, tatami mats can realize the function of study, storage and guest bedroom at the same time, so that the small area of space to maximize the use of a full of practicality, you change to other schemes, it is difficult to achieve the effect of tatami mats.

Of course, if you really don't want to make tatami mats, and the usage rate of this "guest bedroom" is not high, you can take a look at the following solutions:

(1) Ground-tapping

If there are only occasional guests living at home, you can consider making a bunk on the floor, and the small study room will be made into a serious study, and the guests will come to spend the night, and directly spread a blanket on the ground, which is simple and practical and spacious.

(2) Pull-out sofa bed

If you feel that the floor is too "authentic", you can also consider arranging a folding sofa bed in a small room. Converts into beds when necessary to provide guests with a makeshift sleeping space.

(3) Murphy bed

Combine the bed with the cabinet, usually put the bed away, and look like a cabinet from the outside, keeping the space spacious and beautiful; If you come to stay overnight, you can have a separate bed when you unfold it directly.

In terms of appearance, the Murphy bed is indeed a good design; But in terms of practicality and convenience, I think it's a bit of a chicken rib, because it wastes a certain amount of space in the cabinet, and when the bed is hidden, the storage of mattresses and quilt covers has become a new problem.

(4) Finished bed frame

If you want a better breathable and moisture-proof effect, you can consider making a desk + cabinet in a small room, and then leave an empty area, put a bed frame without a backrest in it, and replace the tatami mat with the bed frame, so that you can make a space-saving and breathable and comfortable bed design.

(5) Cancellation of guest rooms

If there are guests at home for a few days a year, simply cancel the guest room, and directly make a study/cloakroom, so that the space is much more practical, after all, tens of thousands of square meters of house, leave 3 square meters out, live 0-0 days a year, it is better to open a room to the guest to live in the hotel cost-effective!

In addition to the above, there are also recommended floor beds on the Internet, I think the platform bed is not as good as tatami mats, it is also not breathable, and tatami mats have an extra storage function!
