אלא אמר רבא בגדולה כ"ע לא פליגי דסתמא לסיכוך כי פליגי בקטנה תנא קמא סבר סתם קטנה לשכיבה ורבי אליעזר סבר סתם קטנה נמי לסיכוך

Rather Rava said: In the case of a large [mat] all agree that if made without specific purpose [it is assumed to be intended] for a covering. They only differ in the case of a small [mat]. The first Tanna holds that ordinarily a small one is for reclining upon, and R. Eliezer holds that ordinarily a small one is for a covering as well.
