A temple hall floor mat is a long mat used to cover the floor in a temple pavilion, the sermon/assembly hall (sala kan parian), and other venues for merit‑making events. It provides a comfortable, cool surface for sitting or doing religious activities. In temples, it is spread on the floor of the sermon/assembly hall so that monks and laypeople can make merit, meditate, or take part in various ceremonies. It is a popular item to donate to temples because it is practical and can be used in many ways.
A monk’s pillow refers to a pillow used by monks. It may mean a pillow specifically intended for monks’ use (as part of the community property/monastic supplies), or it may refer to the act of offering a pillow as part of a Sangha offering, which—according to Thai beliefs and tradition—is thought to bring comfort and well-being to the donor, ensuring they will always have enough in life. In royal/ceremonial vocabulary, a pillow may also be referred to as phra khanei.
A monk’s mattress refers to bedding prepared specifically for monks in accordance with monastic discipline (Vinaya), emphasizing simplicity and avoiding luxury. There are traditional guidelines regarding the height (generally not exceeding about 8–9 inches) and size, as well as rules that the pillow should be for a single person’s use, in line with the Vinaya. To help monks live simply, not become attached to comfort like householders, and to prevent criticism or reproach.
