The front inset door mat takes a battering in most households as shoes, muddy paws and the wheels of grandpa’s roller all traipse across it. So a stylish, durable and practical inset door mat is essential to keep your interior carpets clean and dry. The natural coir coconut fibres in this double door welcome mat offer innate strength and durability, whilst removing dirt and dust from the soles of people’s shoes to help prevent it tracking in and damaging your carpets. A non-slip PVC backing traps moisture and water to further help protect your interior carpets.

A coir mat can be a great way to add some colour and character to your hallway, with options like this teal pineapple design. The only drawback of a coir mat is that it does shed a lot, particularly when it’s new, so it’s worth investing in a quality product to reduce this and the occasional vacuuming to keep your hall looking neat. If the shedding is too much to handle, you can also consider a synthetic coir mat that offers the same style and functionality with significantly less shedding.

A coir mat can be fitted into a recessed mat well, which is commonly seen in homes and older buildings, or laid loosely around the front door. Fitted coir mats are more durable than those that are simply laid flat, and often have a rubber underside that creates a non-slip texture. If you’re going for a fitted mat, it’s important to measure the space where the mat is to be placed first and make sure you order enough of the right size – otherwise you could end up with a slightly too big or small mat.
