6 Piece Cotton Rope Woven Table Mat Set in Beige or Grey - Non-Slip and Heat-Resistant

Two features lift these above ordinary woven mats: non-slip and heat-resistant. Non-slip matters more than it sounds at a dining table — a mat that slides takes the plate with it, which is exactly what happens when someone cuts into something firm. Heat resistance is the other half, letting you set a hot plate down without the mark transferring to the table beneath, which is the actual job a placemat does. The cotton rope weave is what gives them their texture and the natural, tactile look that suits wooden tables and neutral rooms, and being eco-friendly cotton rather than plastic they feel and wear like a textile. Available in solid beige or grey, both of which sit quietly under whatever crockery you own.

Specifications

Buying guide

We stock two cotton rope mat sets and the difference is the colourway: this one comes in solid beige or grey, while the other is a two-tone grey-and-white or beige-and-white weave at a slightly lower price. Solid colours are the safer choice under patterned crockery, since two-tone weave and a patterned plate compete; two-tone has more visual interest on a plain table. Beyond that, buy six rather than four so a full table is covered. Non-slip and heat-resistant are the two specifications worth confirming on any woven mat, and both are stated here. In use, shake crumbs out rather than rubbing them into the weave, spot-clean rather than soaking, and dry flat so the mats do not warp. Use a proper trivet for a dish straight off the hob, since heat-resistant is not the same as heatproof.

How it compares

Against our two-tone cotton rope set, this is the solid beige or grey option — safer under patterned crockery, where two-tone has more interest on a plain table. Compared with the round boho woven mats, those are machine washable and suit a round table. Against the rectangular woven placemats, those define a place setting with cutlery alongside. Against cork or plastic mats, woven cotton looks warmer but needs gentler cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from your other cotton rope mat set?
Colourway. This is solid beige or grey; the other is a two-tone grey-and-white or beige-and-white weave at a slightly lower price. Solid is safer under patterned crockery.

Can I put a hot dish on them?
They are heat resistant, which covers a hot plate — but use a proper trivet for a dish straight off the hob. Heat-resistant is not heatproof.

How should I clean them?
Shake crumbs out rather than rubbing them into the weave, spot-clean rather than soaking, and dry flat so they do not warp.
