woven mat

Interlaced fiber pad

A woven mat is a flat piece of material made by interlacing fibers, strips, or strands—typically of plant materials like straw, reed, bamboo, or palm leaves.

Woven mats serve as floor coverings, sleeping surfaces, or decorative items: She spread a woven mat on the porch.

The term distinguishes handcrafted or traditional mats from manufactured alternatives.
