כָּל הַחוֹצָלוֹת טְמֵאוֹת טְמֵא מֵת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, מִדְרָס. כָּל הַקְּלִיעוֹת טְהוֹרוֹת, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל גַּלְגִּילוֹן, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כֻּלָּם טְמֵאוֹת, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל צַמָּרִים:

All kinds of mattings [made of rubber and the like, which have a border roundabout, and being a "receptacle"] are susceptible of dead-body uncleanliness, [but not of mishkav ("lying down") and moshav ("sitting") uncleanliness, not being fit for those functions)] — These are the words of R. Dossa. And the sages say: midras. [i.e., they are also susceptible of mishkav uncleanliness, being also fit for lying down].
