Cushion flooring is a type of vinyl flooring that has a soft, comfortable feel and enhanced durability. This floor is commonly referred to by different names, such as cushion sheet flooring, cushion vinyl flooring, Japanese floor sheet, or cushion floor sheet. The term “cushion” is used because the flooring features a padded layer. It is typically made from foam which provides added comfort and a softer underfoot experience.
However, this is more commonly known as Japanese floor sheet. This type of flooring originated in Japan and is widely used in Japanese homes and interiors. It reflects the Japanese preference for practical, comfortable, and minimalist design. So, that's why many people prefer it by that name as well.
