tablemats

Surface protection sheets

Tablemats are protective pads placed under dishes and plates on a dining table, preventing heat damage and scratches to the surface.

They serve the same function as placemats, though tablemat sometimes suggests a smaller mat for a single hot dish rather than a full place setting.
