These braided drink coasters are constructed from high-density spiral-braided cotton yarn, offering a soft-touch surface that is safe for delicate wood or lacquer finishes. With a thickness between 0.6cm and 0.8cm, the material creates a reliable thermal buffer for standard hot beverages like coffee or tea. The braided weave increases the surface area, allowing the natural cotton fibers to effectively trap and manage condensation from cold glassware, helping to prevent moisture rings on furniture.
The dense construction also provides acoustic dampening, reducing the sound of heavy mugs contacting the table. Because the cotton is porous, it can be susceptible to staining from dark liquids if not addressed quickly. To maintain the structural integrity of the braid and prevent the peripheral stitching from unravelling, spot cleaning or hand-washing is the suggested maintenance routine. These coasters are a practical alternative to rigid plastic or silicone options for those prioritizing moisture absorption.
