Product Insights
This suede-effect placemat from Simons Maison is a vegan alternative to animal-based suede, made from brushed polyester that traps air for a warm suede feel. Its fabric-like drape conforms to tables and blends with linen napkins, leaving 1-inch margins on each side of a standard 10.5-inch dinner plate. The mat beads liquids for easy wipe cleaning, dampens cutlery noise, and provides thermal separation against faint heat rings from everyday plates, though it is not rated for hot pots or pans. Spills bead up and wipe clean without staining, colors resist fading from light and cleaning, and maintenance is limited to damp wiping; brushing or steaming can restore the nap.
Verified claims
- Suede feel
- Soft, warm, matte suede texture comes from a brushed 100% polyester microfiber nap that traps air, with no animal hides.
- Everyday performance
- The polyester surface causes many spills to bead up, dampens cutlery clatter, and helps guard against faint heat rings from standard plates.
- Drape and styling
- Fabric-like drape conforms to tables and blends with linen napkins.
- Care
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth only; machine washing is not recommended. A soft brush or handheld steamer can refresh the flattened nap.
- Stain resistance
- Many spills bead up on the polyester surface, and wiping promptly with a damp cloth helps prevent stains from coffee, wine, or sauce.
- Noise reduction
- Suede nap absorbs vibrations, softening cutlery clatter on impact.
- Heat protection
- Thermal buffer for everyday plates; not rated for hot pots or pans.
- Sizing
- The placemat measures 12.5 x 18 inches (32 x 46 cm), fits a standard 10.5-inch dinner plate, and works with 12- and 13-inch charger plates.
- Table integration
- Drapes softly; a standard 10.5-inch dinner plate leaves about 1 inch on each side and 3.75 inches at top and bottom.
- Maintenance
- Spills bead up for easy wipe; colors resist fading; clean only with a damp cloth.
- Vegan material
- 100% polyester suede — a vegan alternative to animal-based suede.
- Color fastness
- Color is locked into the polyester fibers, resisting fading from cleaning and light.
- Animal-free suede
- Vegan suede-effect alternative made from 100% polyester with a brushed suede-effect finish.
- Charger plate fit
- With a 13-inch charger plate the placemat's edges align exactly for a gallery-like look, while a 12-inch charger shows a slim 0.25-inch border.
- Nap-preserving wipe technique
- Blot spills gently with a damp cloth rather than wiping across the surface to keep the brushed nap from matting or twisting, especially with syrupy or egg-based spills.
- Maintenance vs wood or bamboo
- Unlike wood or bamboo placemats that need periodic oiling and can show water rings, this polyester suede placemat needs only a damp cloth with no conditioning, sealers, or special cleaners.
- Nap-safe wiping cloth
- Use a microfiber cloth rather than terry kitchen towels or paper towels for daily wiping; the split-fiber construction lifts debris without snagging the raised polyester surface, which helps the soft suede texture last longer.

| Suede-Effect Placemat: Choose this if you want a soft, warm suede-effect placemat positioned as an everyday accessory that wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. It is made of 100% polyester, measures 12.5 inches by 18 inches (32 x 46 cm), and comes in Black or Sand in a rectangular shape with subtly rounded corners and a slightly matte, finely textured top. Note that its cut edge can appear slightly rough where the two faces meet.[1,2,3] | Rectangular Faux-Leather Placemat: Choose this if you want an easy-care placemat for daily family meals with frequent spills: the non-porous polyurethane surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, prevents stains from seeping through, and grips tabletops without sliding. It also suits dressier occasions, with a grained, leather-look finish and deep solid colours across six shades in a 12.5 x 18 inch (32 x 46 cm) size that reviewers say draws compliments. Note that the thin material can crease or permanently mark under pressure from sharp cutlery or heavy pots, so it is not a substitute for a cutting board or trivet, and a minority of reviewers wish it felt more substantial.[4] | Croc-Skin Placemat: Choose this if you love a glossy croc-embossed look and want an easy-care table setting: it easily wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the Chocolate/Espresso variant measures 12.5 x 18 inches (32 x 46 cm). The croc-embossed top has a glossy, slightly reflective finish with a stitched border, and it is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada. It is made of 100% polyurethane with a leather-like appearance rather than actual leather, so pick it for that embossed style, not a genuine hide.[5,6,7] |
