In the hot summer, a cool and comfortable mat is essential. I have always been accustomed to sleeping on bamboo mats. The double-sided bamboo mat I used before was purchased from a small vendor in a textile market near my home. After using it for a long time, I always feel uncomfortable on my skin; every week I dry the bamboo mat and tap it, there are always a lot of white spots. powder, still do not know why. To be on the safe side, I threw it in the trash. Therefore, I did a lot of homework before 618, and I was ready to buy a satisfactory set of mats during the 618 promotion.
Categories of cool mats
1) Bamboo mats: There are roughly two types of bamboo mats, bamboo mats and mahjong mats;
bamboo mats Article: cool and low price, but not long life, 3~5 years; mahjong bamboo mat: wiring is easy to break, but comfortable and cool; both soft and hard mattresses can be used;
I usually sleep The bamboo mat is cooler, but it is too hard and contains meat and hair. I will choose to spread the mahjong mat on the sofa.
2) Rattan mat: high-grade mat, soft and smooth. The service life can reach decades; although the price is more expensive than bamboo mats and straw mats, and the cooling degree is not as good as the former, but the good thing is that it is warm in nature, with moisture wicking, breathable, and insect-proof, etc.; it is suitable for a wide range of people, resistant to Grinding, good elasticity;
I saw many people recommend rattan mats on the Internet. The rattan made in China is relatively rough and not suitable for making rattan mats; good rattan mats are imported from Indonesia. Weaving, the price is relatively expensive, generally around one thousand yuan.
There are also cheap so-called rattan mats sold online, which are made of recycled The imitation rattan mat made of fiber, the raw materials and production process are similar to the paper making method, in fact, it is “paper mat”.
3) Leather mat: Most of the ones sold on the market are made of cowhide, with small hairy eyes and fine texture , smooth; cool, insect-resistant and equally durable; usually divided into buffalo leather, yellow leather; buffalo leather> yellow leather; There is a trend of polarization, some say it is cooler and some say it is hotter; the price of cowhide for a 1.5m bed ranges from 1500-3000 yuan, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to judge the quality of the leather.
4) Flax mat: Flax is a plant with natural aroma, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria; Cool and breathable, no static;
5) Ice silk mat: a new type of mat, made of cotton fiber and The wood fiber is made of purer ice silk. It feels cold to the touch and can be folded at will, not only easy to leave wrinkles, but also easy to return to its original shape;
The best ice silk mats sold recently are generally polyester blended fabrics. Beautiful and breathable, can be washed in the washing machine. However, according to the online reviews, it will feel a little cool when you just fall asleep, but the more you sleep in the same position, the hotter it will be.
6) Straw mat: straw mat refers to a mat woven with flexible straw stems. The water absorption capacity is relatively strong, and the color of the mat surface is easy to turn yellow after one season of use. Straw mats woven with rushes, papyrus and maran grass are popular among the elderly.
I used straw mats when I was a child, and it has a unique fragrance. Like Hengyang and Ningbo, both are important origins of straw mats. The disadvantage of straw mats is that they are not durable, easy to break, and prone to insects.
After reading many popular science articles, I am even more at a loss. The advantages and disadvantages of various mats are obvious, but there is no so-called perfect mat, and personal feelings will vary. Therefore, after hesitating again and again, I finally decided to buy 618’s traditional bamboo mat.
My method of choosing bamboo mats
I am completely on paper, looking for more cost-effective products, just for your reference.
When I buy goods online, I trust brand products. In Aunt Zhang, the bamboo mat brands that appear more frequently are Huang Gulin and Laoxijiang, both of which are time-honored brands.
Looking at the online user reviews, the overall reputation is still good, but the brand premium is relatively serious. I’m thinking about this kind of non-high-tech product. There should be other brands to choose from, right?
So I thought, according to the experience of buying goose down quilt last time, maybe I can find a more cost-effective mattress brand by checking the national standard?
As expected, the bamboo mat is reallyThere are national standards.
Baidu Encyclopedia:
“Bamboo Mat” is November 2020 A Chinese national standard implemented on the 1st.
The national standard “Bamboo Mat” is reported and implemented by TC263 (National Technical Committee for Standardization of Bamboo and Rattan), and the competent authority is the State Forestry and Grassland Administration.

According to conventional thinking, the units that can participate in the drafting of national industry standards should be those with larger scale and better product quality, right?
I saw that several of the drafting units still have flagship stores on Tmall. Haoxifu and Hao are naturally the brands of Anji Hengsheng Bamboo & Wood Co., Ltd.

Simple listing
Let’s make a final order, I bought the bamboo mat from Hao Natural flagship store. You need to buy a matching mat according to the size of your own bed. The bamboo mat cannot be bent, so the size must be just right.
There are many styles of this product, and it has a very awkward name. After consulting customer service, it is actually a bamboo mat on the front. The material is basically the same, but the quality is slightly different, mainly the back material, some are ice silk, some are subgrass material. Those with a lavender scent are actually just a sachet, which is meaningless.
In order to make up the order, I chose the most expensive one, the so-called “Prosperity Classic” double-sided seat.
Unexpectedly, the epidemic happened later. Although other couriers have already resumed work, the ZTO Express chosen by the store is Can’t send goods to Shanghai, and refuses to change to other couriers. It just happened to be in the sweltering heat of the magic capital that has been rare in decades. In fact, there is air conditioning, and the bed sheets did not feel hot. No matter how cool the mat is, there is no air conditioner.
After waiting for nearly a month, I finally received the goods. The outer packaging is still quite elegant.
I bought a 1.5-meter mat, and you can see that the name of the company is also marked on the package – Hengsheng Bamboo and Wood .
The actual item is much smaller than I thought, because the bamboo mat is designed to be covered with fabric in the middle seam and can be folded.
This design is more user-friendly, because the bamboo mat usually takes up a lot of space even if it is rolled up. After summer, storage takes up a lot of space. The volume folded by the middle seam is greatly reduced, and the bamboo strips required for making the bamboo mat are not so long, which also reduces the cost for the production enterprise.
The overall design of the bamboo mat is relatively simple, which is more consistent with the old-fashioned decoration style in my home. The self-contained center seam can be used as the thirty-eighth thread for my wife and I, without interfering with each other.
Bamboo mats are best made of green bamboo instead of yellow bamboo. The advantages of bamboo green silk are: good toughness, high density, smooth and flat bamboo silk, durable, and easy to store; the shortcomings of bamboo yellow silk: weight Light, serrated and notched bamboo silk, low texture, easy to mildew.
The color of this bamboo mat is much darker than my previous bamboo mat because it has been carbonized. craft. On the surface of the carbonized bamboo mat, the hard carbonized particles will form an environment that is not easy for bacteria to survive, so as to achieve an antibacterial effect. Put bamboo silk or bamboo bags into a high-pressure carbonization boiler of 200-300 degrees for steam carbonization, and undergo high temperature and high pressure., so that a hard carbonized particle layer is formed on the surface.
Nowadays, many bamboo mats are double-sided, and this one is no exception. The customer service claims that the back is a more advanced subgrass material, I thought it was a new material.
But look at the label to know what the ingredients are, polyester fiber plus cellulose material, in fact, and imitation rattan Artificial cooling mats such as Xibingsi are similar.
The advantage of artificial material is that it can be made more finely and neatly.
Back to the front of the bamboo mat, you can see that it is woven with three strands, and the fixation is quite firm.
But the details of the bamboo strips are still not compact and have burrs, which is a little regrettable. Before use, wipe it with a damp towel to remove some obvious burrs.
The experience of using it is OK, there is a clear scent of bamboo when I just put on the bed, but after using it for a day There is no other flavor.
When I go to bed at night, I usually adjust the air conditioner to 28 degrees Celsius, and turn off the exhaust and the screen display. The sleeping mat is covered with a towel blanket, which feels just right. I will also set the air conditioner to turn off the air conditioner at 6:00 in the morning, so that the temperature is not too low when I wake up, and it can also save some electricity.
Maintenance of bamboo mats
Finally, let’s talk about the maintenance of bamboo mats. I used to like to put them in the sun, which is wrong.
The correct maintenance method is to dry the mat when cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp towel soaked in warm water, and put it in a cool place to dry after cleaning. Wipe the mat clean with a towel and dry before use; wipe with a neutral detergent when dirty. Avoid direct sunlight for a long time, and avoid close to fire sources to prevent the mat surface from fading, drying, deforming, and bending; after using for a period of time, wipe it with light salt water, which can not only decontaminate but also keep its flexibility for a long time. Certain anti-brittle, anti-insect effect.
Having said so much, in fact, I still want to say that the material that is not necessarily expensive is the best, and the most important thing is what suits you.
