Felt placemats and coasters for restaurants and hotels: what works

Felt makes a table quieter and warmer. It also shows stains, so choose colour and thickness with service in mind.

Colour

Mid and dark greys hide marks best. Light colours look fresh in photos but need more frequent replacement.

3–5 mm felt lies flat and dampens noise from cutlery and glasses. Thinner felt curls more easily.

Polyester felt softens with very hot dishes; wool felt tolerates heat better. Test with your hottest plates.

Most felt is wiped or cold-washed by hand. Ask your housekeeping or kitchen team to test a sample through a few services.

Laser engraving or a small print in the corner looks calm on the table. Coasters can be die-cut into your shape.

They are not food-contact materials, since food is served on plates. Tell us if a product will touch food directly.

Yes, felt absorbs drips from cold glasses; it then needs to dry.
