First, the classification of mat

1, straw mat. Mat materials include rush, bluegrass, Asian grass, Chinese alpine rush, etc. Among them, the mat woven by rush, cattail and Malan grass is mostly loved by the elderly. Straw mats woven from raw grass have the fragrance of grass, which are cooked at high temperature to make straw pulp, and then are woven after removing impurities and pressing into thin strips. There are many patterns to choose from, and their workmanship is not only finer and softer, but also can be folded and stored.

2. Bamboo mats. Bamboo mats are more durable than straw mats. If well maintained, their service life can be as long as 10 years. There are bamboo silk mats and bamboo green mats on the market. Bamboo is a cold plant, which changes with the surrounding temperature. In an air-conditioned room, the temperature drops rapidly, and people can feel obvious coolness. So bamboo mats are very popular with young people.

3. rattan mats. The rattan mat is a durable mat. Handmade rattan mats can generally be used for more than 20 years. Although the temperature of rattan mats is not as good as that of bamboo mats, rattan is warm, sweat-absorbent, breathable and moth-proof, which is beneficial to the body; At the same time, it is soft and wear-resistant, with good elasticity and very cool and comfortable feel, which is suitable for all kinds of people.

4. cowhide mat. A good cowhide summer sleeping mat is more expensive than other summer sleeping mats. Because of the good permeability of leather, cowhide summer sleeping mat can be very mildew-proof, non-decoloring, non-sticky, antibacterial and moth-proof. It smells slightly peculiar to leather and has a pleasant smell. The coolness is moderate, and the more you use it, the brighter it becomes.

5, linen mat. Flax has excellent sweat-absorbing, breathable, antibacterial and antistatic functions, does not touch the skin, feels soft, can be folded at will and is easy to store. High-quality linen mats can be used for about 10 years. At room temperature, the real temperature of flax summer sleeping mat can be reduced by 4℃ to 8℃ when it comes into contact with the skin, and it can also emit a faint fragrance, inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, and also have the health care functions of lowering blood pressure and calming the nerves, which is suitable for the elderly, women and children.

6. Plastic mats are also called ice mats and ice mats. Rubber summer sleeping mat abandons the problems of sweat stain and imprint of traditional summer sleeping mat, and its cooling effect and comfort are far better than traditional summer sleeping mat. It is environmentally friendly and healthy. It is generally used in modern high-end clubs and beauty salons, and some powerful families have begun to configure it.

Second, the purchase skills of mat

1, test. The size of the mat is determined strictly according to the size of the bed, and it should be narrow but not wide, otherwise the mat will be exposed to the edge of the bed because it is too wide and easy to be damaged.

2. Look. See if the color is even, light green or bright yellow. Then spread the mat flat to see if the weaving is tight and even. If the knitting tightness is uneven, it is easy to expose the tendons and loose the edges, resulting in fracture and damage, which will affect the service life. See if there are black, moldy, wormholes, burrs or yellow grass. If there are, the quality of straw mats is poor.

Step 3 touch. Try to feel whether the surface of the mat feels smooth and the corners are neat and clean. No matter what kind of summer sleeping mat it is, it must be smooth and smooth to the touch and have a strong finish. The smoother, the cooler. Of course, it also shows that it is exquisitely processed.

4. Smell. The materials are fresh, and the new goods made in those years have a natural fragrance. Whether it is bamboo mat, straw mat or rattan mat, it is best to be fragrant without special smell. The smell shows that the fresh material is a new product made in the same year.
