Kotatsu tables really are great. Some pictures here if you haven't seen them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotatsu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotatsu Unfortunately even a cheap table in the U.S. is more expensive than it should be. There's an opportunity for someone to create kotatsu tables and things like them for the American market.

I think the problem is Americans don't want to sit on the floor. Which is strange, because carpet is more comfortable than tatami.

  Probably because of their habit of wearing outside shoes inside the house, making the floor too dirty to sit on.
