The mat is a summer cooling tool that most families choose. As the temperature rises sharply, you can start to arrange the mat at home!
However, you should pay great attention to the choice of mat. After all, you are in close contact with someone for at least 7 hours every day, which directly determines the quality of life in the hot summer.
Bamboo mats
mainly refer to bamboo mats and mahjong mats . They are cheap and feel cool as soon as you sleep on them, but the longer you sleep, the hotter they become. This is because bamboo has poor water absorption and cannot absorb sweat. If you lie down for a long time, it will easily stick to the skin, causing a damp and hot sensation. Therefore, bamboo mats are suitable for use in rooms without air conditioning, especially on sofas.
Secondly, the lifespan of bamboo mats is not long, the wiring is easy to break, usually 3-5 years, and it is easy to pinch hair and flesh, and leave marks. It is not suitable for softer mattresses, and bamboo mats are also difficult to store. .
Straw mat
I often used it when I was a child. It is a natural mat. It is low-priced and has the ability to regulate moisture absorption and release. It feels refreshing but not very cold. It is also averagely comfortable and not durable. It can easily cause allergies and breed mites.
The cowhide mat
is definitely the noble among summer mats. It has good breathability, good thermal conductivity and sweat absorption. It is comfortable to sleep on, but it is relatively expensive and the edges of the mat are prone to wrinkles during use.
Rattan mat
Rattan mat is made of rattan skin, which is cool, durable, sweat-absorbent and foldable. But natural rattan mats are very rare now. Most of them on the market are "imitation rattan mats",
ice silk mats
fish-flavored shredded pork without fish, and ice silk mats without silk . The so-called ice silk mats are actually a kind of Polyviscose fiber or polyester fiber .
Ice silk mats are not as cool as traditional bamboo mats. They can be understood as sheets with a cool feeling, but the comfort is better than traditional bamboo mats and there will be no marks on the face. And it can be folded at will without leaving wrinkles easily. It has an exquisite appearance.
can be laid well on any bed. It is soft and skin-friendly, smooth and delicate.
Latex mat
Latex mat is an upgraded version of the ice silk mat. It is added in the middle of the ice silk mat. With a layer of natural latex, the cooling feeling is the same, but the elasticity, softness and breathability are increased. In addition, the latex mat also has antibacterial and anti-mite effects.
However, most of the latex mats on the market are not real latex mats, because they are not real latex mats. Latex mats are very expensive.
How to choose?
Ice silk mats and latex mats are more suitable for modern families. They are very comfortable and can be used with air conditioners. They are cool but not icy. If you have enough budget, you can also choose cowhide mats .
If the room does not have air conditioning, it is recommended to choose bamboo mats. If you like more natural products, choose rattan mats.
