6 Piece Boho Round Woven Placemat Set - Heat-Resistant Machine Washable Mats

Machine washable is the feature that decides whether woven placemats stay in use, and it is worth checking because many are not. Natural-fibre mats that can only be spot-cleaned get retired to a drawer the first time a child spills something; a set you can put in the machine stays on the table. These are heat resistant too, so they take a hot plate without marking the table beneath — which is the actual job a placemat does. The round boho weave brings texture and warmth to a dining table, and round mats work particularly well on a round table, where rectangles fight the shape. Six covers a full table. Being woven, they also protect against the scratches and marks that cutlery and crockery leave on a bare surface.

Specifications

Buying guide

Shape should follow your table. Round mats suit a round or oval table, where rectangular mats leave awkward gaps and fight the curve; on a rectangular table, rectangular mats hold a plate and its cutlery more neatly. Buy the shape that matches rather than the one you prefer in isolation. Washability is the practical thing to confirm on any woven set, since spot-clean-only mats end up in a drawer. Even so, treat them sensibly: shake crumbs out rather than rubbing them in, wash on a cool gentle cycle, and dry completely flat so they do not warp out of round. Heat resistance covers a hot plate, but use a proper trivet for a serving dish straight off the hob. Six is the right number for a full table — buying four and hoping is how you end up short with guests.

How it compares

Against rectangular placemats, round mats suit a round or oval table where rectangles fight the curve — the rectangular sets are better on a rectangular table. Compared with spot-clean-only woven mats, machine washable ones stay in use rather than being retired after the first spill. Against cork or plastic mats, woven fibre looks considerably warmer. Against a tablecloth, mats show the table and wash far more easily.
