The best coconut mats, compared.
Top pick: COCONIQ coir door mat, 43 × 76 cm Best value: Nicola Spring coir door mat, Paws – About £9.99 with the largest review count, 4.5 from 3,299, on a 60 × 40 cm PVC-backed print. Updated October 2026.
A coconut mat is a coir doormat or entrance strip. The face is coconut-husk fibre, and the job is to scrape mud off shoes. You use one on a covered porch, in a hallway, or just inside the door, as a rectangle around 40 × 60 cm or as a strip you trim. A dense face, a backing, a width you cannot step around, and a pile the door will clear are the checks that matter. These seven amazon.co.uk listings are printed doormats, plain strips, and one small rubber-backed coco mat. PVC-backed coir is a poor match for an open step, because UK makers say rain sits on the backing and rots the fibre. Place, backing, and pile are set out in the [coconut mat buying guide](/hub/flooring/coconut-mat/sub/coconut-mat-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
Where will the mat sit?
The COCONIQ mat is a printed 43 × 76 cm coir piece with a 15 mm pile, a PVC backing and a listed weight of 2.2 kg, at about £25.99. Amazon shows 4.6 from 65 reviews, a higher star line than the mats with thousands of reviews and a much smaller sample. The product URL is B0FFQ4KW35, while the details block in the same file prints ASIN B0FFQHPC5H. Water resistance says not water resistant, and the care line says avoid contact with water, keep it shaded, and that the mat may stain a damp surface. One review called it a bit iffy in the rain. Another describes a split of about 6 inches when the mat was shaken. That split is a fault, not ordinary shedding.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want this puppy print under cover and you will not shake the mat hard.
Less suitable: Anyone treating 4.6 from 65 reviews as stronger evidence than 4.5 from thousands, or an open step.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the COCONIQ mat natural coir?
The material line is coir. The bullets say 100% natural coir from coconut husks, with a PVC backing. Country of origin is India. Weight is 2.2 kg.
Can it sit in the rain?
Water resistance is not water resistant. The care line says avoid contact with water, keep it shaded, and avoid direct sunlight. It also says the mat may stain if it is placed on a damp surface. One review called it a bit iffy in the rain.
Which ASIN is on the page?
The product URL is B0FFQ4KW35. The details block in the same file prints ASIN B0FFQHPC5H. The colour name is 3 Cute Puppies.
The Nicola Spring Paws mat is a fixed 60 × 40 cm printed coir piece with a 15 mm pile and a PVC backing, at about £9.99. Amazon shows 4.5 from 3,299 reviews, the largest count in this set. The specification says stain resistant and water resistant, and it lists indoor and outdoor use. One UK review says liquid stained the mat on the first day, so that stain-resistant line and the review disagree. Another review reports a rip on arrival. Care is hand wash only, which is not a machine wash. A 60 cm width still leaves room to step around a wide door.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a small printed coir mat under cover at about £9.99, and you accept that a spill can mark the fibre.
Less suitable: You need a wide plain strip you can trim, or the step has no cover.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Nicola Spring mat coir with a non-slip back?
Yes. The listing material is coir and the back material is polyvinyl chloride. Other special features include non-slip. The size on this ASIN is 60 × 40 cm.
Can you machine-wash it?
The care line says hand wash only. It does not say machine wash.
Does stain resistant mean spills will not mark it?
The specification says stain resistant. One UK review says liquid stained the mat on the first day. The listing and that review disagree.
Across the shared 1,991 amazon.co.uk reviews, the FloorPro 50 × 100 cm strip is a plain 17 mm coir scraper on a named PVC backing, listed at about £19.99 and ranked 2 in Indoor Entryway Mats. Reviewers cut it with a knife to fit a doorway, and one found the cut edge ragged. That review text is the same set as the other FloorPro sizes, so it is not a separate test of this piece. The listing prints item thickness as 0.02 m beside a 17 mm pile, so those two figures do not agree. Weight is printed as 2 kg, while the smaller 40 × 60 cm file prints 3 kg. The specification says water resistant and outdoor, which sits badly against UK advice that PVC-backed coir should not live in the rain. A tight door can catch a 17 mm pile.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a plain scraper you can trim for a covered porch or a hallway, and the door clears about 17 mm.
Less suitable: You want a printed design, you will not use a knife, or the step is open to British rain.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you cut this FloorPro strip?
The listing says you pick a size and can cut more off. UK reviews in the file say it cuts with a knife, and one reviewer found the cut edge ragged.
What is the backing?
This 50 × 100 cm listing names polyvinyl chloride as the back material. Care is hand wash only. The printed weight is 2 kg.
Does the listing say it is for outdoors?
The specification line says outdoor, and water resistance says water resistant. The bullets also say indoor and outdoor. The pile height is 17 mm.
The 75 × 100 cm FloorPro strip is listed at about £24.99, with a 17 mm pile and a printed weight of 5 kg. It carries the same 4.5 from 1,991 reviews as the other FloorPro sizes, so that count is one shared sample. Rank on this file is 14 in Doormats, not the Indoor Entryway Mats rank on the 50 × 100 cm listing. The backing material line is missing. A review pasted into the file says the coir is set in rubber, which is not the same as a specification. Water resistance says not water resistant, and care says dry clean only. The bullets still say you can cut it. A 17 mm pile on a wide strip can catch a tight door.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wide covered doorway where you will trim a plain strip and the door clears about 17 mm.
Less suitable: You need a named PVC backing on the page before you buy, or you want a printed design.
Specifications
Common questions
How heavy is the 75 × 100 cm strip?
The listing weight is 5 kg. The size is 75 × 100 cm and the pile height is 17 mm. Colour is brown.
Is a backing named?
This file does not give a back-material line. Material type is coir. A review pasted into the file says the coir is set in rubber. Care says dry clean only.
Is the 1,991-review score only for this size?
The same 4.5 from 1,991 and the same review text appear on the other FloorPro sizes in this category. Treat the count as shared, not as a separate test of the 75 × 100 cm piece.
This FloorPro piece is the small plain strip, listed at about £8.94 with a 17 mm pile. The size line says 60 × 40 cm and the dimensions say 40 × 60 cm. Weight is printed as 3 kg, which is higher than the 2 kg printed for the larger 50 × 100 cm strip. The backing is not in the specification block. Water resistance says not water resistant, while usage says indoor and outdoor, and care says hand wash only. The 4.5 from 1,991 reviews is the shared FloorPro figure, not a fresh sample for this size. The bullets say it is easy to cut. A 17 mm pile is still thick enough to catch a tight door.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A narrow covered door where a small plain scraper is enough and you will check the backing when it arrives.
Less suitable: You need a stated non-slip backing before you order, or a wide runner you will not have to piece together.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this size name a non-slip backing?
The file asks whether it has a non-slip backing and does not answer that in the specification block. Back material is not stated. Material type is coir.
Why is the weight higher than the larger FloorPro strip?
This file prints 3 kg for the 40 × 60 cm piece. The 50 × 100 cm file prints 2 kg. Both numbers are left as printed.
Can you cut it?
The bullets say the matting is easy to cut, including on this size. Water resistance says not water resistant, and usage says both indoor and outdoor.
The LUA VIKA Tree of Birds mat is a printed 40 × 70 cm coir piece with a PVC backing, listed at about £19.99 and 1.35 kg. Amazon shows 4.4 from 1,431 reviews. The specification line says outdoor, while water resistance says not water resistant and care says dry clean only. Reviews in the file call it thick and sturdy, and two mention fade. One reviewer says the mat ripped when it was shaken and then returned it. Pile is named as medium, not as a millimetre figure. A rip when shaken is a construction fault, not the loose fibre a new coir mat sheds while it beds in.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want this bird print indoors or under a porch, and you will shake the mat gently.
Less suitable: An open rainy step, or a buyer who will beat the mat hard to knock dried mud out.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this mat waterproof?
The water-resistance line says not water resistant. The bullets describe indoor and outdoor use and a PVC backing. Care says dry clean only.
What size is the Tree of Birds mat?
The listing size is 40 × 70 cm. The weight is 1.35 kg. The pattern name is Bird Tree and the colour name is Tree of Birds.
Did reviewers report damage?
One UK review says the mat ripped when it was shaken, and the reviewer returned it. Other reviews in the file call it thick and sturdy. Fade is mentioned in two reviews.
The Pro Home coco mat is 40 × 60 cm with a low pile and a rubber backing, listed at about £8.39 and 1.5 kg. Amazon shows 4.3 from 3 reviews. The three UK comments are short: Super, It is what it is, and Nice sturdy mat. They do not describe a fault, and they also do not describe rain, a cut, or how the rubber back behaves on a wet step. The listing says water resistant and both indoor and outdoor, and the feature line says non-slip. Country of origin is China, and the material line says COCO rather than a millimetre pile. Three reviews are too few to treat this as the same evidence as the mats with thousands of ratings. A rubber back is still coir on the face, not a solid rubber mat you can hose.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a small plain mat with a stated rubber back, and you can accept almost no review evidence.
Less suitable: Anyone who wants a large amazon.co.uk review sample before they buy a door mat.
Specifications
Common questions
Is there a non-slip backing?
Yes. Back material is rubber, and the feature line says non-slip. The size is 40 × 60 cm and the weight is 1.5 kg.
How many reviews are on the listing?
The file prints 4.3 out of 5 from 3 reviews. The three UK comments are short: Super, It is what it is, and Nice sturdy mat. They do not describe a fault.
Does the listing say you can wash it?
A machine-wash line is not in the file. Bullets say shake or brush. Water resistance says water resistant, and usage says both indoor and outdoor.
Scores use the amazon.co.uk listings and the review notes already in the display files. There is no lab test and no BS 7976 pendulum value. The highest score is the top pick. The best value is the small printed mat with the largest review count at the low shelf price. A 4.6 from 65 reviews does not outrank 4.5 from 1,991 or 3,299. The weights below sum to 100.
Amazon evidence
30%Star rating, then a hard deduction when only a handful of UK reviews sit behind it. FloorPro’s 4.5 from 1,991 is one parent sample on three sizes, so sibling sizes do not each receive a full evidence bonus.
Named backing
20%PVC or rubber on the specification beats a missing backing line. Non-slip means that backing, not a slip test. No kept listing publishes a BS 7976 value.
Size and pile
20%A strip you can cut scores above a fixed print you cannot widen, if the width covers the traffic line. A 17 mm pile is scored as a scraper and as a door-clearance risk.
Price against evidence
15%About £9 with thousands of reviews beats about £8 with three reviews. About £26 with 65 reviews is not a bargain in this sample.
Listing faults
15%Points come off for a split or rip when shaken, a stain on day one against a stain-resistant line, and listing lines that disagree on thickness, weight, size, ASIN, or outdoor use versus not water resistant.
Choose the place before the print. A covered porch or a hallway can suit coir. An open step in British rain does not suit PVC-backed coir. Prices below are the shelf prices printed in these amazon.co.uk files, not a live re-scrape.
A coconut mat in UK shops is a coir doormat or entrance strip. The face is coconut-husk fibre, and the job is to scrape mud off shoes. Buyers use one on a covered porch, in a hallway, or just inside the door. Typical pieces are a rectangle around 40 × 60 cm, or a longer strip you trim with a knife. Quality, in the sources used here, is a dense face, a backing that stays put, a width you cannot step around, and a pile the door will clear.
A usage line that says indoor and outdoor is not proof the mat can live in rain. UK makers say rain sits on a PVC backing and rots the fibre. A water-resistant line is still not a waterproof claim.
Care lines here say hand wash only, dry clean only, or avoid contact with water. Coir is shaken or brushed dry. Vacuuming tufted coir on full power is a separate way to pull the face out.
Early loose fibre is normal. A rip on arrival, or a split of several inches when the mat is shaken, is a fault. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers goods that are not satisfactory or not as described.
Place comes first. A covered porch or an indoor hallway can suit coir. An exposed step in British rain wants rubber or another mat that drains, not a PVC-backed coconut mat. PVC or vinyl grips hard floors and blocks drainage. Traditional coir, fibre all the way through, can dry after rain. None of the kept amazon.co.uk listings is described as that woven-through construction. A named backing beats a blank line.
The mat should cover the traffic line. A 60 cm doormat still leaves room to step around a wide door. FloorPro strips are the pieces the bullets say you can cut, at 40 × 60 cm, 50 × 100 cm, and 75 × 100 cm. The printed mats are fixed. Nicola Spring is 60 × 40 cm, LUA VIKA is 40 × 70 cm, and COCONIQ is 43 × 76 cm. The small FloorPro size line and its dimensions do not match. Pile, where a millimetre figure is printed, is 15 mm or 17 mm. A 17 mm strip is a scraper and a door-clearance risk.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a plain scraper you can trim, and the door clears about 17 mm. The FloorPro 50 × 100 cm strip names a PVC backing and is ranked 2 in Indoor Entryway Mats at about £19.99. The 1,991 reviews are shared with the other FloorPro sizes.
You do not want to cut, and about £9.99 is the budget. The Nicola Spring Paws mat is 60 × 40 cm with a PVC backing and 4.5 from 3,299 reviews. One review says liquid stained it on the first day.
You need more width than a 40 cm mat and you will use a knife. The FloorPro 75 × 100 cm strip is the wide plain piece at about £24.99. The backing line is missing on that page, and the review count is the same shared FloorPro sample.
The top pick is the FloorPro 50 × 100 cm strip, score 88, at about £19.99. It is the highest score for a named PVC backing, a 17 mm pile, and 4.5 from 1,991 shared reviews, with rank 2 in Indoor Entryway Mats. The thickness clash and the open-rain limit are already in that score. The best value is the Nicola Spring Paws mat, score 84, at about £9.99, with 4.5 from 3,299 reviews. A day-one stain and a rip on arrival are deducted. Neither badge is a lab result, and neither mat is for an open step in British rain.
