- serving to clean items passed over it, such as a doormat, which removes dirt from the soles of shoes
- protecting that which is above the mat, such as a wrestling or gymnastics mat, or an anti-vibration mat
- protecting that which is beneath the mat, such as a place mat or the matting used in archival framing and preservation of documents and paintings
- providing a regular or flat surface, such as a cushioned computer mousepad
