What is Tatami Puzzle?

The tatami puzzle, also known as puzzle flooring, tatami sheets, puzzle mat or tatami mat, is a type of flooring mainly used in the sports field, although it is increasingly used for more and more purposes.

It is a floor that is manufactured to provide optimal protection against falls or blows that athletes may suffer during sports practice. In fact, its main function is to prevent injuries in athletes, especially when it comes to sports with greater contact with the ground, such as martial arts. In this way, the tatami prevents the joints from being damaged during a fall or a blow.

Although it is primarily intended to protect the person, it is also an element of protection for the floor.

The materials used in the manufacture of the tatami mat s provide precisely those cushioning characteristics that make them perfect for all those sports practices in which there is a greater risk of suffering blows from a fall, such as judo, karate, etc.

The name tatami puzzle comes from the way the pieces fit together, similar to the pieces of a puzzle, with die-cut edges that allow their assembly and a solid and stable union between pieces.

Advantages of Tatami Floor

Puzzle tatami mats offer many advantages in their use, mainly the following:

High protection against shocks. This is its main function, i.e., to serve as an element of protection for the person against the risk of falls. That is why it is the flooring used in sports where there is a greater probability of falls and blows.
High floor protection. In addition to protecting the person, the tatami puzzle is also an element of floor protection, preventing the fall of heavy objects can damage or deteriorate it.
Reduced risk of slips and falls. The tatami floor has a non-slip surface that prevents slips and falls, offering a high level of safety, both for sports and other uses.
High thermal and acoustic insulation capacity. The high density of the material used in the manufacture of the puzzle floor makes it a floor with excellent acoustic performance, dampening the sound of footsteps; and thermal, avoiding the diffusion of heat or cold. In this sense, the higher the density of the puzzle floor, the greater its thermal and acoustic insulation capacity.
Great lightness. The puzzle floor pieces are very light and easy to handle, making them easy to transport, assemble and disassemble.
Easy assembly and disassembly. The pieces of tatami puzzle are very easy to fit together, offering a stable union over time. This allows it to be disassembled without problems to move it to another space.
Adaptation to all spaces. The way in which the pieces fit together makes it easy to adapt to any space or room, with the advantage that, if in the future we want to expand the surface, we can do so simply by adding new pieces.
Very economical price. It is a pavement that has an excellent quality-price ratio and is the most economical option for covering the floor of gyms and sports halls, among others.
Suitable for children and pets. The tatami puzzle that we offer in our catalog is safe for use with children from 3 years and pets, as they do not contain heavy materials or toxic elements.
Great comfort and safety. Walking barefoot or in shoes on a tatami puzzle offers a feeling of great comfort and convenience, being especially noticeable when performing any exercise with jumps, cushioning the rebound and reducing the possibility of injury.
Easy to clean. It is a floor that is very easy to clean with a cloth soaked in water and neutral soap, previously disassembling the pieces.

Choice of Tatami Puzzle Thickness

When buying tatami puzzle, the first thing to decide is the use we are going to give. Once this use is defined, we can choose the most suitable thickness, ranging from 10 mm to 40 mm thick tatami.

In this sense, in Jowy we recommend the following uses by thickness of the puzzle floor:

Tatami Puzzle 1cm

The 10 mm puzzle tatami is the most economical floor available, and the one that offers the most basic functionality. It is the cheapest option in our catalog, and the easiest floor to lay and remove.

It is used to offer a minimum protection of the floor, for example to place machines, swimming pools, so that they are not in direct contact with the floor.

Jowy’s specialist recommends. As puzzle tatami specialists, at Jowy we only recommend the 1 cm puzzle tatami as a floor protection element, but not for sports practice.

Tatami Puzzle 2cm

It is the second most economical option in tatami puzzle. It protects more than the 10 mm, so it can be used in the practice of some sports where the impacts are practically null.

Jowy’s specialist recommends. The 20 mm puzzle tatami is suitable for sports with few falls, such as boxing, dance, playground, fitkid, gymnastics, fitness, yoga, pilates, relaxation exercises.

Tatami Puzzle 2,5cm

The 25 mm puzzle tatami is the most standard and common. It offers good value for money, and a wide variety of colors, with reversible two-color options.

Jowy’s specialist recommends. The 2.5 cm puzzle tatami is also suitable for sports with few falls, such as karate, taekwondo, boxing, kickboxing, full contact, dance, fitkid, gymnastics, fitness, yoga, pilates, floor exercises.

Tatami Puzzle 3cm

The 30 mm thickness is an intermediate between 25 mm and 40 mm.

Jowy’s specialist recommends. The 3 cm puzzle tatami is recommended for sports with low intensity falls such as children’s judo, self-defense, gymnastics.

Tatami Puzzle 4cm

This is the highest quality puzzle floor and the one that offers the most protection, which is why the price of this tatami is the highest.

Jowy’s specialist recommends. The 4 cm puzzle tatami is the one we recommend for sports with frequent projections or maximum demand to impacts, such as judo, MMA, hapkido, jiu-jitsu, aikido, brazilian jiu-jitsu, krav maga, self-defense.

Soil Density and Hardness Puzzle

In addition to thickness, density is another aspect to consider when purchasing a puzzle mat. The combination of thickness and density of a tatami will give it its unique characteristics in terms of stability, hardness, firmness and cushioning.

Density is measured in kg/m3 and is a measure that expresses the compression to which the material has been subjected to make the tatami.

A higher density tatami floor offers greater shock absorption and protects the athlete more, reducing the possibility of injury. In addition, it is a firmer floor in the footprint, because the material is more compacted, providing greater stability and balance to the athlete.

The hardness of a puzzle mat is directly related to its density. So the denser the floor, the greater its hardness. And greater hardness means greater strength and durability, and, consequently, a higher quality floor.

Tatami Puzzle Dimensions

Puzzle tatami mats are square in shape, and usually come in standard dimensions of 100 cm per side, which is equivalent to 1 square meter of surface area. However, we can find options in other sizes.

In Jowy, for example, we offer you the 1 cm puzzle tatami in size 60×60 cm side. For the rest of the references, we offer you the standard 100x100cm size.

Puzzle Floor Materials

Tatami mats have been manufactured in different materials. The most common is EVA rubber, due to its excellent characteristics.

EVA rubber, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, is a very light, flexible and porous type of plastic that allows easy molding and handling, and maintains its dimensional stability, even if it gets wet. This type of material is widely used for the manufacture of tatami puzzle sheets because of the many benefits it offers:

Benefits of EVA Rubber

Good resistance to abrasion, hot air, light and water, although it is always recommended not to expose it to direct sunlight, external weather conditions, etc., because it will deteriorate prematurely.
Good anti-vibration and shock absorption capacity.
Good anti-slip characteristics .
Good elastic memory.
Soft and comfortable feel.
High dimensional stability.
High flexibility and elasticity.
Great lightness.
Colorable with good finishes.

Tatami Mat Surface

As mentioned above, the EVA rubber with which these floors are usually made, creates a non-slip surface. To improve it, tatami floors usually have a drawing or engraving on the surface that improves the adherence to the floor. The most common are:

T-shaped. This surface is visually like a fine grain to the touch that improves the grip on the ground.
In 5 lines. This surface is characterized by drawing squares with 5 lines to achieve a surface of great anti-slip power.

Either of these two options are valid, and at Jowy we usually recommend each client the option they are most accustomed to.

Assembling the Tatami Puzzle pieces

The way to fit one piece to another is by means of die-cut puzzle-like edges that guarantee a perfect anchorage and union, keeping the tatami sheets together without leaving spaces between them.

This form of fitting allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the floor, allowing it to be moved from one room to another without further complication, and ensuring that the anchorage remains strong and stable.

Tatami Mat Colors

In terms of colors, the tatami puzzle mat can come in different shades, with a single color per piece, or be combined with two colors, one on each side, to create more striking color combinations. The latter options are 100% reversible and offer more decoration possibilities.

The most common colors that can be found in tatami sheets are red, blue, green, yellow, black and gray.
