I'm gonna jump in here unsolicited for a moment --
To anybody who's following this thread, keep in mind that tatami mats are not the mattress, but actually the type of flooring that you would find in a traditional Japanese home. The name of the mattress is a futon, or shikibuton. Tatami mats are considered complementary to sleeping in a futon, because the mats allow for air flow beneath the mattress like a box spring, and help prevent moisture buildup. Genuine Japanese futons are, as far as I've been able to see, pretty hard to find in America. J-Life is one of the only places you can find an apparently halfway authentic one online, but I've never been to Japan so I couldn't speak to how good J-Life is even if I owned one.
The reason I know about this at all is because I was given a dorm assignment in my final year of college for a historical apartment so small, there wasn't space for both a desk and a bed. I had to do a lot of research on mattresses that could be folded up into a closet. I came pretty close to trying a genuine futon, but the cost was prohibitive for something I only needed to use for a year and I ended up buying a memory foam tri-fold instead. I honestly found it one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on, and would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a cheap portable mattress alternative.
If you have the space (or space on top of the roof of your car), I highly recommend bringing a futon mattress.
If you don't have space for an entire futon mattress, but would have space for equivalent volume in a different format and want to sleep like a pretty princess, I really recommend getting two 4" thick tri-fold twin foam mattress like this and strapping them together and putting a king sized sheet over the top. (That's what we do.)
I've been thinking about getting two futons for my parents and friends to use when they visit us (in nyc). We do not want a dedicated bed for the few times that we have people visit, but air mattresses just aren't cutting it. I do worry about comfort, and was thinking of having the futon plus some tri-fold foam things like this for them to use. Do you think that would be plenty comfortable enough?
