طرّاحة

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

This is from a Lebanese text written in the 1970s with a rural setting.

What does طرّاحة mean?

Is it a cushion or a mattress?

أكاد أراه، الآن، وقد تربّع فوق طرّاحة وثيرة قرب موقد النار

Thanks!

Floor mattress

It is something like mattress, but it put on floor not on a bed.
It is normally used as sofa in Syria and Lebanon.
Note: it is not the same as Majlis Arabic setting.

Cushion/ garment/ mattress

I guess it can be translated to either “cushion” or “garment” or “mattress” depending on the context of the word.

A mat

It's more "a mat" than "a matress", like a carpet but used to lay on on the floor
Example sentence:

طراحة يوغا

Yoga mat
