Place Mats

[bleitzow]

Hello all!

Do you guys know how to say "place mats" in Spanish? I am referring to the plastic/cloth/vinyl small individual settings where you would place the plates, napkins, etc. on top.

Thanks!

mat: tapete, estera (esterilla)
trivet: salvamanteles, trebede

But I'm not sure what are you really asking.

In México, tapete is the normal way to say placemat. Tapete can also mean rug or mat in general.
