What are the differences between single-layer and double-layer agricultural plastic seedbed mats?

Single-layer agricultural plastic seedbed mats are made of a single layer of plastic, offering basic insulation and moisture retention. They are lighter, easier to handle, and less expensive, making them suitable for small-scale or temporary use. Double-layer mats, on the other hand, consist of two layers of plastic with an insulating space in between, providing superior insulation and heat retention. This makes them ideal for maintaining consistent temperatures in seedbeds, especially in colder climates, and can lead to faster germination and growth. They are more durable and heavier, offering better protection against pests and harsh weather conditions.
