The characteristic smell and texture of tatami mats is beneficial to human health. It is said that the sense of smell is closest to the brain and the direct stimulation from the particular smell of tatami can help you to relax. In addition, walking on the flexible yet rough texture of the tatami surface also contributes to stimulating the nervous system.
