Hello. Is the mat made of real, natural straw, or is it a man-made material (like plastic) marketed as "straw"? Thank you.

I would say its for sure straw. Feels and looks like real straw and bends like it.. doesn't look or feel like plastic. ; ) hope that helps

It is made of real straw.Don't expect much of what you are paying for. The mat works fine but will not last 10 visits to the beach particularly if you damp it or if you don't take good care of it.

It is natural. I wanted it darker for my project, and it took wood stain very well.

I think the main difference is in the materials. Some of the more expensive mats are made from organic cotton and natural foam. Some do not use plastic for the flowers. This can be very important to people with sensitives. I do suffer from multiple chemical sensitives and would prefer an organic cotton mat without plastic, but I can honestly say that this mat has never caused me to react after I let it air out.

It's made with hard plastic. I think the plastic has a good quality. Good Luck in your search Jessica :)

The mat is made up of plastic bottles. I have soaked it in a tub, or have even run it in the washing machine if is not too dirty. Hang to dry, or put in a dryer for 5 minutes. Be careful it will shrink if put in the dryer. I have been using the same mat for one year and clean it weekly. It does not hold odor and is very durable.

The points are a hard plastic, and the mat itself is a fabric. When you first start using it it's pretty "pokey" but as you get used to it it's very comfortable. I sleep on mine a lot.

It's a type of food grade anti stick plastic. Do not be alarmed about it being plastic. I have used mine over and over I wash it in mild detergent and it still performs and looks as the day I bought it. Really is a must have for dehydrating some items. I totally recommend this product

It is plastic but the material is really good. I have been using it for a year now without issues.

I don't know. A gift for our granddaughter so I don't have it here. It was long enough to do a cartwheel - see the feet and hand imprints on mat and it is thick enough to be used without getting hurt. I saw them use it and it looked fine to me. Hope that helps.

The "blanket" is fleece like. Not too hot, not too cold. The mat itself I guess is cotton. The pillow is synthetic cotton. It does the job for both sons at their daycare. Just be sure to take the pillow out when it's thrown in the wash. And speaking of wash, it is so easy to dump it with the rest of other laundry. Quite happy with it. It's a nap mat. Some People become disappointed because they were expecting something heavy duty for the outdoors. It's not a sleeping bag. This mat goes on top of my sons cots.

It is extremely hard to tell in my opinion, which is another reason I wish the mat would have had the printing on it. The one I received was plain plastic and looked like the stuff you put underneath office furniture. I wasn't thrilled with it at all.

These mats are made of cardboard/matboard. They came with a "back" of the same material which would, in my opinion, hold up with signatures well.

It's made of 100% latex. The cover is 50/50 cotton/polyester. Do you mean synthetic as opposed to natural latex? I honestly don't know. There's nothing specific on the tag other than what I just mentioned. This sounds like a question you should ask the manufacturer. There's a phone number on their website as well as an contact form.

It seems like some form of plastic but my toddler does not stay in it for long periods of time. He seems to really enjoy it and doesn't get hot in it. The material makes it easy for quick cleaning. Consider putting a towel in it before buying another chair.

The Mat is very durable. I have had mine for 3 seasons and it is still in great condition. As for the texture of the "grass", it is as good as you can expect. I have never thought twice about the surface. It just works.
