Look: See if the color is uniform, light green or bright yellow. Then level the surface to see if the weave is tight and even. If the weaving is not tight, the thickness is uneven, it is easy to expose the ribs and loose edges, causing breakage and damage, which affects the service life. See if there are black, mildew, wormholes, burrs or withered yellow grass, and some indicate that the mat is of poor quality.

Choose a method - the manufacturers of linen seats for profit, use viscose fiber instead of flax fiber. Some products have a chemical fiber content of more than 70%. When people buy linen seats, they must wake up to 12 points. Look: the pure linen mat, the grain is clear and natural, the tensile strength is strong, and the surface gloss of the fabric is natural and soft. The gloss of chemical fiber products is too bright. Light-transmitting products can see cloud spots and sometimes find a small amount of hemp particles. Touch: The pure linen hand feels cool, has a heavy feeling, and the grip is slightly wrinkled. Test: Take a sample of the yarn and burn it. If it has a burning paper smell, and the ash is fine and white gray, it proves to be hemp fabric; while the chemical fiber fabric generally has a pungent odor after burning, and the ash is spherical.

Wipe the water again, or wash it with soapy water, filter it with warm water, and then dry it in a cool place; if possible, use the straw mats every day with sweat or dust, and wipe it with warm water before use.

Bamboo mats are well-maintained: bamboo mats should not be exposed to avoid brittleness; when laying bamboo mats, keep the bed flat, so as not to break. It is best to wipe it with warm water after going to bed every day before going to bed. This will make the bamboo mat reddish in advance and thus cooler. Note: Do not use the mahjong mat as a cushion, otherwise it will be easy to be caught by the oysters!
Eye-catching points: Experts reminded that it is advisable to open the air conditioner overnight at 26 °C. To sleep on the mat, be sure to cover the abdomen, shoulders and other parts with a thin blanket, do not get cold, to prevent diarrhea, colds and even spinal diseases and frozen shoulder.
