Shiatsu mats & accessories
Professionally equipped with high quality shiatsu mats
A shiatsu mat is ideal for any form of relaxing bodywork performed on the floor. The shiatsu mat, also called a futon mattress or a shiatsu futon, is mostly used as a soft and warm support on which the massage is carried out. In massage techniques such as Thai yoga massage or shiatsu massage, the body is stretched and mobilized on the floor, making a massage table rather unsuitable. But it is worth buying a futon not only for massages.
In relaxing yoga techniques such as yoga nidra or yin yoga, a shiatsu futon provides you with good warmth and cushioning on the floor. On the shiatsu mat your body can relax and at the same time, be comfortably supported, helping you to completely let go. So you can also buy a futon mattress to meditate, go on a fantasy journey or perform autogenic training. A shiatsu futon offers you more firmness and better grounding than a normal mattress.
Would you like to buy a futon? We can help you with the selection.
To find the right shiatsu mat for you, we offer you different designs in our store. Of course, you can choose your favorite color, but the right size and thickness are also very important. The standard thickness for a shiatsu mat consists of four layers of fleece with a height of about 5 - 6 cm. If you prefer to sink deeper, you can also find the 5-layer version with a height of approx. 6 - 7 cm or the 6-layer futon mattress with a height of approx. 7 - 8 cm in the selection menu. All futons have practical straps that allow you to store the rolled up shiatsu mat. If you have limited storage space, the 4-layer futon mattress is the best size. It is also the most convenient to transport and is designed for mobile use. If you want to use the shiatsu futon for yourself, even the smallest size with 100 x 200 cm can be sufficient. For massages we recommend at least the 140 x 200 cm size. The most comfort is offered by the shiatsu mat in the size of 180 x 200 cm. You can find more oversized mats in our store. If you still can't find the right size or thickness, we also make custom-made mats.
Shiatsu mat made in Germany
If you have decided on a suitable shiatsu mat, you can look forward to excellent craftsmanship from Germany. Your personal shiatsu futon is individually handmade with care in our own production. The robust cotton twill fabric of the cover is sourced from Germany, where it is dyed and treated according to the Oeko-Tex 100 standard. The covers of our mats are removable, washable or can be permanently quilted directly to the mat on request.
More about the cotton twill of our shiatsu mats
We have been working with this fabric for more than 20 years. The fabric is finished and dyed according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (certificate no. A06-0488). The certificate includes all important stages of processing: desizing, bleaching, finishing, heat setting, sanfor, raising, dyeing. The dyeing complies with German regulations, no AZO dyes are used. For cost reasons, the finished fabric does not have its own certificate. Removable covers can be washed at up to 30ºC, but should be washed with similar colors, as some dye may be released, especially in the first wash. We also recommend turning the covers inside out and using the delicate wash cycle.
