Chow Mat

About the Chow Mat

The Chow Mat is a wooden mat for eating, reading and working. It gives you a flat surface in bed or on a sofa, so a plate, a book or a laptop sits steady instead of balancing on your lap.

Vitafoam makes it from hardwood and wraps the surface in leather. The build is light, which is why the mat is easy to carry from the bedroom to the sitting room.

Where the Chow Mat works

It suits breakfast in bed, study on a sofa and work from a hotel room. It also travels well, because the mat packs into a carry bag and stores flat against a wall.

Because the surface is firm, hot plates do not sink into it and pens write properly. The leather finish wipes clean after a meal, which keeps crumbs and oil off the wood underneath.

Caring for the mat

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth after each use and dry it straight away. Keep the mat out of standing water, because water marks hardwood. A little mild soap deals with food marks, and the carry bag protects the leather when the mat is stored.

Delivery and warranty

Orders go out from Vitafoam showrooms and distributors across Nigeria. We confirm your delivery window at checkout, and the box paperwork states the warranty that applies.
