I’m looking for a suitable translation for the object named “mat” in English and used in e.g. gymnastics or yoga: that is, either a piece of foam covered in vinyl/plastic/leather or a piece of PVC/rubber without filling.
Esperanto has the (fundamental) word mato but according to the definition in PIV, it has to be a woven piece, such as a door mat or the one placed on the floor in many Asian cultures:
maldelikata kovraĵo aŭ tapiŝo el plektita pajlo, junko, basto, stipo ks
