Lessmon Large Heat Resistant Mat For Curling Irons, Hair Straightener, Flat Irons And Hair Styling Tools 11" X 7.5", Food Grade Silicone, Grey

As a 50 year old I am often not aware some things have been invented that offer new convenience and make life easier. This is one of those things that I came across during primes last sale event in October of 2024. I was looking up heat resistant mats for my kitchen and saw this, didn’t necessarily go looking for it, but for under $4 it was an easy decision. I was very cautious the first few times when wrapping my hair flat iron. I left it sit on the mat after I was done & while doing my hair but let it sit to cool before wrapping. Next time I wrapped it up while still super hot but wasn’t ready yet to trust it in the drawer. 3rd use I wrapped it hot and came back at 5 & 10 minutes later to check the temp. I finally felt like this does as advertised and yes, you can wrap a hot flat iron after use and immediately put it in the drawer. The outside of the silicone wrap is a little warm to the touch after 10 minutes but it has caused no melting or warping or damage inside my drawer or on the flat iron itself, or the counter beneath. It has also created much needed space inside my drawer as it wraps the cord around the mat nicely and makes travel easy. I’ve had no issue with quality, and for the price point it’s a total win. I’m still a little confused on the design of the outward loop, If you put your cord through the loop at the base of the hair product you’ve got to pull the cord through the loop each time you want to use it. But if you leave the cord out of the loop you can’t use the loop as easily when wrapping to tuck the outlet end into the loop. I assume it’s user failure on my part so I plan on watching some of the reviews for tips. That’s a silly minor issue, but I’m thinking I’m missing a feature that is beneficial.If this product fails or doesn’t last I will update but if no update is listed, these are my thoughts on their entirety.

Great value for the price . Product is as durable, functional with no odor.

The quality of this is pretty great! I have a chi hair straightener iron and the mighty comb. Both which gets up to 400-450 degrees. This Mat hasn’t melted or burned. I set up my hair tool and have it sit on the mat to give time to heat up, so whatever one I’m using at the time, it’s sitting there for at least 5 minutes without being disturbed. These are great options to use if you don’t have a vanity, table or anything to rest your hot hair tool on or to use on a platform you don’t want to get ruined.I bought another mat for my step daughter who’s 15 years old and who likes to get ready sitting on the floor in her bedroom in front of a long mirror instead of the bathroom. I was nervous she’d burn the carpet and start a fire (unfortunately some teens don’t think of these consequences) having this makes me feel better and safer but I ALWAYS Make sure her hair iron is unplugged after each use so please don’t just rely on this! Kids house definitely be monitored to be on the extra safe side.For my use, I use the mat on my vanity that’s wood. It hasn’t damaged it or anything. The mat clearly will get hot from hair tools so you still need to be carful not to touch the rubber with bare hands. This is also great for travel. I haven’t noticed any burning smells coming from it.

Great mat I just wish it was a bit larger to hold hair tools.

It’s perfect for laying your hot styling tools on. Helps protect your countertops.
