underlay
Replace linen and underlays after each use.
The underlay is the piece of material that is immediately on top of the table (sometimes padded) and under the tablecloth.
A commonplace term, if such exists, would be preferable to a highly specialized one.

Bajo mantel/muletón
Entre la mesa y el mantel colocaremos un "muletón" o algún tipo de "protector" que tenga un cierto grosor, pero sin que apenas se note debajo del mantel.
Una buena opción es utilizar un bajo-mantel o muletón, que sirve para varias cosas importantes: - evitar que el mantel resbale, - proteger la mesa de recipientes o platos calientes, - evitar humedades por el derrame de líquidos, - proteger la mesa
