A Kotatsu is a table that is low in height. This low table frame is covered by a blanket, which is most commonly referred to as Futon. What makes this table unique is the fact that below it, there is a heat source. This heat source is covered by the Futon and can be built into the table or is separate from it. The modern style of Kotatsu mainly uses an electric heater. However, the traditional style of Kotatsu uses a charcoal heater.
Kotatsu is mainly used in Japan. But it should be noted that other cultures also use the same style for the same purpose. The only difference is the names given to these tables. For example, in Spain, such a table would be commonly referred to as Brasero. And in Iran, it would be called Korsi.

It comes in many shapes, like; square, round, rectangle, square (space-saving), and rectangle (space-saving). Now, this product includes a comforter and rug only; the table is not included.

The dimensions of the comforter are 200 x 200 cm. The dimensions of the rug are 190 x 190 cm. For the comforter, both the material and its filling is polyester. The fabric is of microfiber; it gives a smooth and fluffy feel. One great thing about this company is that it provides the Kotatsu set in many colours and patterns. These patterns may be; Floral Beige, Floral Brown, Triangle Beige, Ortega Brown. There are many options for customers, both fancy and simple. Caring and cleaning this product does not require much hard-work (as it does with other products). A simple hand wash will suffice. Another advantage of this product is the fact that the set can be separated and used in different settings and times.

This product, like the one above, also, unfortunately, does not have any reviews on Amazon yet. Still, it will be mentioned here to make diligent customers aware of the availability of more choices. This product does not come with a heating table, forcing the customer to make additional purchases as a result. However, it does come with a mat. This feature is useful as not many sets come with mats. These kinds of products, while focusing on providing warmth, don’t focus on the fact that the users might end up sitting uncomfortably for hours. This is because users are mainly seated on the floor, and as expected, it can cause pain and unpleasantness. Well, this cannot be said for this product as it alleviates this issue by providing the customers with a comfortable mat.
The dimensions of the cover are 185 x 185 cm. The dimensions of the mat are 190 x 190 cm. The material is microfiber. And the color is black. This color is ideal as it can be used in all kinds of homes, be it modern or traditional. Additionally, it can be adapted to any environment.

The colour is of a black and white flower pattern, which is quite attractive and makes the relevant space it is located in, a very appealing look. The comforter is also thick and comfortable.
