straw mat

Plaited grass covering

A straw mat is a flat woven covering made from dried plant stalks—rice straw, wheat straw, or similar materials.

Straw mats serve as floor coverings, sleeping surfaces, or decorative elements, common in traditional Asian and tropical households: We unrolled the straw mats for the guests to sit on.
