Mat made of soft rush (6)

I believe the answer is:

tatami

(Other definitions for tatami that I've seen before include "Jap. room matting" , "Floor-covering" , "Jap. floor mat" , "Japanese rush and straw matting" , "Japanese straw mat; a mat, it (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
