Tatami mats stink like black mold
We ordered 2 tatami mats. Now, we have a rush grass mat for meditation, so are familiar with the natural smell. The ones from Comfort Pure stunk so badly of mold that it was scary. We slid one out of the (bent) box and it also was badly bent. It stunk like black mold. I was afraid to slide the 2nd mat out, fearing mold spores. I owned the box about 8 inches and that one stunk like mold too. We were told to lay the bent mat flat and put a weight on it and it would bend flat. For the expensive price we paid, I don't think we should have to deal with the hassle. Both mats were returned and we were charged fees. Beware that these mats are super stinky, like black mold scary. I don't know how anyone could sleep on one.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We inspected the returned mats and found no signs of mold or unusual odor—just the natural scent of rush grass, which some customers may find strong at first. We also covered both the initial shipping and restocking fees, and only charged return shipping. We understand your concerns and appreciate you giving our products a try.
