* Tzitz Eliezer 10:29 writes that one shouldn't use reed or straw mats for Schach. The reasoning is that the mats are sometimes used for sitting, sleeping, or containing items in which case they are impure and even if designated to be used for Schach it is unfit as a gezerah. Additionally, sometimes it is used as for roofing in which case they would be unfit as it looks like a real roof. </ref> | |||
