Two years ago, my family bought a new house, because the house area is relatively small, so the decoration of the small room has been a headache, put the 1.8 meters of the big bed can not fit at all, put the 1.5 meters of bed is also crowded panic.
Later, at the suggestion of the renovation foreman, I ended up making a tatami bed because it could be customized to fit the size of the room, and there was storage underneath.
However, after using the tatami bed for a while, I realized that this thing is really not easy to use, and it is not easy to dismantle now, and it is uncomfortable to use. If I had a chance to redecorate, I wouldn't have made a tatami bed anymore, which would be really bad!
1. It is inconvenient to use
Because tatami beds are usually made against the window, and every time you open or close the window, you have to climb on the tatami mat, so the young people are fine, but the old people are sinned.
Also, it is said that it has a storage function, but every time I take out the things underneath, I have to take off all the sheets and bedding on the tatami mats before I can open the cabinet door, which is very inconvenient.
2. It is not breathable, easy to get damp and mildew
This is the most important reason why many people don't like tatami mat beds, and I don't like this either.
Because there is a cabinet under the tatami bed, there is no air gap between it and the ground, and over time, I feel that the sheets and bedding feel damp. Especially in the humid climate of the south, such as the climate of the back of the south, there may be mold on the tatami bed board.
In addition, the tatami room itself is relatively small, and it is not easy to disperse the smell, and there is a musty smell as soon as you enter, and you may also see cockroaches crawling everywhere, which is really a bit disgusting.
3. Low cost performance
Generally speaking, tatami beds have to be made together with custom wardrobes, the cost is not cheap, and a set of environmentally friendly tatami beds will cost more than 10,000 yuan, and such as hydraulic rods and drawer slides, these will be counted separately.
In this way, it is much more expensive than buying a 1.2-meter finished bed directly, and it is simply not cost-effective in terms of budget cost.
4. It is inconvenient to move
Custom-made tatami beds are mostly fixed in the room and are basically never touched unless the room is remodeled.
But then again, after demolishing the more than 10,000 yuan, it will be lost, and the ground, walls, etc. will be repaired, which will only add to the trouble.
5. Uncomfortable sleeping
The material of the tatami bed is wood, and it is hard to sleep directly, and it is not very convenient to make a thick mattress, so you can only use a special thin mattress, which can only be slightly improved, or will reduce the comfort of sleeping.
Especially for the elderly or people with lumbar spine problems, this is not very suitable for sleeping.
6. Not environmentally friendly
Tatami rooms are generally connected to the bed, wardrobe, and desk, which means that a large number of boards are used, if the E0 or E1 level environmental protection solid wood is good, but if the use of inferior MDF, particleboard and other materials, the formaldehyde content must be rising, and the health of the family is definitely not good.
Some people may say, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, the room at home is small, the population is large, and the tatami bed is already a better way to decorate, and you can store and sleep.
Don't be in a hurry to get angry, I recommend you a tatami mat shape, but relatively good solution, at least it can solve the problem of poor air permeability and save some money.
The solution is to make a "slatted frame bed"!
To put it bluntly, a slatted bed is a flush bed with no additional decoration or wrapping at the head and foot of the bed, and is usually constructed only of the basic frame of the bed.
It differs from a tatami bed in three ways:
(1) Good ventilation: the gap between the rib racks can play a role in moisture drainage and ventilation.
(2) Removable: Since it is not fixed, the slats frame bed can be moved out when necessary.
(3) Low cost: Due to the simple structure, the cost of the stilt frame bed is usually lower, and it can be done by buying a few hundred yuan online.
Finally, I would like to advise you that if you want to make a tatami bed, please carefully consider whether you can overcome the above shortcomings.
If you have to do it, don't save a little money, think about it in the long run, you must use environmentally friendly boards!
