In the hot summer, people will become very irritable due to the high temperature, especially when sleeping at night. If there is no air conditioning, it will be quite hot, which directly affects our sleep quality. Therefore, many people sleep on cool mats in summer, but you must pay attention to clean it, otherwise it will easily cause skin infection, causing skin allergies or other problems.

Precautions for sleeping on a cool mat in summer Nowadays, people are using cool mats again. However, there are many types of cool mats on the market, and only by choosing the right one can you enjoy the coolness without harming your health.

Straw mats are woven with rush, cattail, amaranth, etc. The material is soft, has strong affinity with the skin, and is relatively cool. They are mostly loved by the elderly and people with weak constitutions. Experts say that it is best for infants and young children to sleep on straw mats because their nervous systems are not yet fully developed, their body temperature regulation function is weak, and their adaptability to cold and heat is poor. Bamboo mats and cowhide mats often make children catch cold easily and are not suitable for use. When sleeping, it is best to cover yourself with a small quilt and wear thin trousers. But a big disadvantage of straw mats is that they are prone to mites. Before using a new straw mat, it is best to expose it to the sun, pat it repeatedly several times, wipe off the dust with warm water, and then dry it in a cool place. When you reuse the old straw mat in the second year, wipe it with disinfectant or wash away the mildew spots with soapy water; the straw mat used every day will be stained with sweat or dust, so wipe it with warm water before going to bed.

The bamboo mat should be the "first green mat" with long and flat bamboo joints, fine fibers, and soft and tough texture. The first green bamboo strips are the coolest and most flexible. However, bamboo mats are very cold in nature and are not suitable for the elderly, children, and people with weak constitutions. Therefore, this type of mat is more suitable for young and middle-aged people. If the bamboo mat is not laid flat or is larger than the bed, it will easily break. Therefore, when laying the bamboo mat, keep the bed board flat to avoid damage. In addition, bamboo mats should not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise they will become brittle. It is best to wipe it with warm water before going to bed every day, which can make the bamboo mat cooler.

Linen mat Linen is a natural bundle fiber with a natural spindle-shaped structure and unique pectin-like beveled pores. It will produce capillary phenomenon when in contact with skin. It opens when it is hot and can quickly conduct the absorbed sweat and heat. It closes when it is cold to conserve heat. It has excellent air permeability, moisture absorption and moisture discharge. It can reduce the perceived temperature of the human body by about 4°C at room temperature. It has the reputation of "natural plant air conditioner" and has moderate coolness, suitable for the elderly and children. In addition, linen mats have the advantage of good hygiene and can inhibit the growth of fungi and microorganisms.

The above are some precautions that you need to pay attention to and understand when sleeping on a cool mat in summer. I hope everyone can pay attention to and understand these common sense issues. In addition, the cool mat you choose must be soft in texture and the product must be of high quality. Otherwise, such phenomena will definitely directly affect the health of our skin.
