Fabric placemats absorb everything and need washing; these do not. This set of six round faux leather PVC mats at 38cm diameter is heat insulating, so hot serving dishes go straight down without marking the table, and waterproof, so spills sit on the surface and wipe off with a cloth. The non-slip backing keeps them in place when someone drags a plate, which is the small irritation that ruins cheap mats. 38cm is a generous round size — enough for a dinner plate plus a glass and cutlery beside it. Available in white and beige, both of which sit well on wood, glass and stone tables. A set of six covers a standard dining table in one purchase.

Buying guide
Round mats suit round tables and soften the look of rectangular ones; at 38cm, six will fit a standard six-seater without overlapping — measure your table width and divide by the number of settings to be sure. Heat insulation on faux leather is good for warm plates and serving bowls, but use a proper trivet for a pot straight off the flame. Wipe with a damp cloth rather than soaking, and avoid abrasive pads, which scuff the surface finish. Store them flat or loosely rolled rather than folded, since a crease in PVC is permanent. Lighter colours show marks from red sauces, so wipe quickly after a meal rather than the next morning.
How it compares
Against fabric placemats, these need no laundry and never stain permanently, though fabric feels softer under a formal setting. Against bare wood, they protect against heat rings and spills — the two things that age a dining table fastest. For very hot pots, add a dedicated trivet regardless of the mat.
