The best rubber mats, compared.
Top pick: Ark Mat entrance mat, 150 × 90 cm – Highest display score, 96: 150 × 90 cm, drainage holes, a stated bevel, about £24.95, and 4.8 from 118 reviews. Best value: Ark Mat honeycomb mat, 120 × 80 cm – About £17.95 with the largest review count, 4.6 from 400, on a 22 mm recycled-rubber honeycomb the listing says you can trim. Updated October 2026.
A rubber mat here is a loose floor mat with a rubber walking surface: a deckplate, an open-hole mat, a finger scraper, a large sheet, or a thin checker roll. You use one at a door, on decking, in a garage or a shed, or as a cut lining for a van or a boat. Separate them by material, thickness, a bevelled or square edge, weight, and whether reviews match the photos. A tufted doormat with only a rubber back, a bath mat, an EVA gym tile, and a bar mat stay out of this table. Nothing was lab tested, and no listing prints a pendulum value. Size, holes, and a cut roll are set out in the [rubber mats buying guide](/hub/flooring/rubber-mats/sub/rubber-mats-buying-guide). The seven amazon.co.uk listings cover a closed deckplate, an open-hole entrance mat, a honeycomb mat, a finger scraper, a long drainage sheet, and a thin checker roll.

Question 1 of 2
Where will the mat sit?
The Ark Mat AF-A16 is the black rubber entrance mat at 150 cm by 90 cm, about £24.95 on the amazon.co.uk capture. It states drainage holes and a moulded bevel for wheelchair and pushchair use, which is the clearest edge claim in this set. Weight is printed as 7.49 kg and as 9 kg, and thickness as 14 mm and as 1.2 cm, so those figures are not settled. The 4.8 from 118 reviews talks about a heavy mat on steps, porches, decking, and a wheelchair ramp. One buyer cut a mat in half. There is no pendulum value on the page.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wide house or shop doorway where you want a stated bevel and drainage, and you can place a mat of about 7 to 9 kg.
Less suitable: A small step that only needs a 60 cm mat, or a van floor you plan to cut from a thin roll.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this mat state a bevelled edge?
Yes. The listing says a moulded bevelled non-trip edge and names wheelchair and pushchair use. It does not publish a pendulum test value.
How thick and heavy is it?
The thickness field says 14 mm and the dimension line says 1.2 cm. Item weight is 7.49 kg and the bullet says 9 kg. Both pairs are printed on the capture.
Does the listing say you can cut it?
The bullets do not say it is cuttable. One UK review says a buyer cut a mat in half for extra doors.
This Ark Mat is the 120 cm by 80 cm by 22 mm honeycomb mat at about £17.95, and the bullet says it is recycled rubber. It has the largest review count in the set, 4.6 from 400, and the listing says you can trim it. The edge is square, so the wheelchair feature line is not a bevel. Reviews praise drainage on a doorstep and also report black bits shedding and sliding on plastic decking, including one buyer who glued it down. A pile-height field says 16 mm and 22 mm even though the mat is moulded rubber. There is no pendulum value.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A muddy house door where about £17.95 and a deep open mat matter more than a bevel.
Less suitable: Plastic decking where reviews say it slides, or a threshold that cannot take a 22 mm square lip.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the edge bevelled?
No. The listing says a square edge. A feature line says wheelchair accessible, which is not the same as a bevel.
What do the reviews say about movement?
Many of the 400 reviews are positive about drainage and muddy boots. Repeated complaints are black crumbs, sliding on plastic decking, and a mat that needs straightening.
Can you cut it?
Yes. The bullet says the rubber can be trimmed. The capture does not describe a finished edge after the cut.
The tonchean listing is a checker-plate rubber roll at 1 m by 5 m and 3 mm, about £53, with an item weight of 18 kg. The bullet says you can cut it, and reviews use it on garage cement, in a van, in a shed, and in a camper. It is a closed sheet, so it does not drain through holes. Smell is the repeated review theme: strong for some, gone after airing for another, absent for one shed. A two-roll order in the reviews arrived split. The colour field on the page repeats the size rather than a hue. There is no pendulum value, and the stair mention in the bullet is not a stair rating.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A garage, shed, van, or boat floor you will cut to shape and can air before use.
Less suitable: A front door that needs a bevel and drainage holes, or anyone who cannot handle an 18 kg roll.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you cut this roll?
Yes. The bullet says scissors or a utility knife, and UK reviews repeat a Stanley knife for a garage, van, shed, and camper.
How thick is it?
The listing says 3 mm. A review that calls it thick is an impression. Another review says it is not as thick as an older mat.
Do reviews mention smell?
Yes. One calls the smell very strong. Another says a little smell on opening that fades. A shed install reported no smell. The bullets do not give a test.
The Nicoman mat is a closed black rubber deckplate at 60 cm by 40 cm and about £8.99, with an item weight of 750 g. The model number is ECO-4MM-DECKPLATE, but the technical table does not state a thickness, so that code is not a measured millimetre figure. Drainage holes are not listed. Reviews at 4.4 from 58 often say it lies flat and suits a step or a shed. The outdoor complaint is specific: water lies on the surface and the mat feels thin. A low-odour line is a bullet, not a test. There is no pendulum value.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A single step or a shed door where a small closed rubber mat is enough.
Less suitable: A wet porch that needs water to fall through the mat, or a wide commercial doorway.
Specifications
Common questions
Does water drain through this mat?
No holes are stated. It is a closed deckplate. One UK review says water lies on it outdoors.
Is it 4 mm thick?
The part number is ECO-4MM-DECKPLATE. The technical details do not print a thickness, so 4 mm is not a measured spec on the page.
Where have reviewers used it?
Reviews mention a step, a shed, and a trimmed piece on a welding trolley. Several call it flat once settled, and some call it thin.
The BWKJMY mat is a black rubber drainage sheet titled 90 cm by 210 cm at about £59.99, with an 11 kg item weight. The bullet also prints 36 by 83 inches by 0.4 inch, so the inch thickness is about 10.2 mm and the inch plan is close to the metric title but not identical. Holes and a box-knife cut are stated. Care says hand wash only, while the bullet says hose it. Of ten review texts, praise covers wet tiles, a pool path, and a ramp. Two reviews say the item was not the picture, and one was returned. There is no bevel line and no pendulum value.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A long wet walkway, garage strip, or commercial run if the delivered mat matches the gallery.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs the photo to be exact, or a small domestic step.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say it drains?
Yes. The bullet describes large round drainage holes and hosing debris through them. An edge profile is not stated.
Did reviewers receive the pictured mat?
Two of the ten review texts say the parcel did not match the gallery. One of those buyers returned it. Other reviews call it strong and use it on wet tiles and a ramp.
What size is printed?
The title says 90 by 210 cm. The bullet says 36 by 83 inches by 0.4 inch, and the weight is 11 kg in both the bullet and the item-weight field.
The jxgzyy mat is an 80 by 100 cm black rubber scraper at about £39.99. Overall thickness is 15 mm and the bullet says 9 mm finger nubs. The weight field is 10.1 kg and the bullet says 10.5 kg. Nine reviews, 4.3 on average, describe a mat that stays put and pulls mud off boots, and also a roll that takes days to flatten, a lift that is hard alone, and fingers that hold dirt. One reviewer found the top less grippy than the title. Several reviews read as programme reviews, so the sample is thin. No edge, wheelchair line, or pendulum value is stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A porch where boot scraping matters and you can place a mat of about 10 kg.
Less suitable: Someone who needs a large review sample, or a light mat they can shake out daily.
Specifications
Common questions
What is the top surface?
The bullet says 9 mm finger-shaped rubber nubs that scrape dust, mud, and gravel. Overall thickness is 1.5 cm.
Do reviewers find it easy to live with?
Nine reviews call it heavy and good at mud. They also say one person struggles to lift it, it takes days to lie flat, and the fingers are hard to clean.
Is the non-slip claim tested?
No pendulum value is printed. One review says it was a tad slippery underfoot. Weight is the feature reviewers credit for keeping it in place.
The bimiti listing is a blue drainage floor mat at 300 cm by 90 cm and 5 mm, about £49.99, weighing 7.4 kg. Treat the material as PVC. That is what the material field and the plasticised-PVC bullet say, even though the title says rubber. The bullet says you can cut it and that the holes are for water, snow, and slush, and it names kitchens, garages, and pools. The rating is 4.0 from one review and the capture has no review text, so praise and faults are unknown. No edge profile and no pendulum value are printed. It is in the table as a long drainage sheet, not as a rubber compound.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A long indoor or outdoor run where a 5 mm PVC drainage sheet is an acceptable material.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs rubber specifically, or a decision based on UK review text.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this mat rubber?
The title says rubber entrance mats. The material field says standard PVC and the bullet says plasticised PVC. Treat the material as PVC.
What do buyers say?
The capture shows 4.0 from 1 rating and no review text. There is nothing to summarise about wear, smell, or photo match.
Can it be cut, and where is it aimed?
The bullet says it can be cut and names kitchens, garages, pools, restaurants, and gardens. Thickness is 5 mm and weight is 7.4 kg. No bevel is stated.
The top pick and the best value are the awards already on the display files. Scores come from those amazon.co.uk listings and the review notes in the same files. There is no lab test and no BS 7976 pendulum value on any kept listing. The weights below follow the buying checks in the digest, and they sum to 100.
Job, water, and edge
25%Mud at a door wants holes or a scraper. A garage or a van wants a sheet you can cut. A closed deckplate can let water sit on top. A stated bevel scores above a square edge or a wheelchair line with no bevel.
Size against the opening
20%A 60 × 40 cm mat covers a step. A double door or a works entrance needs the 120 cm, 150 cm, or longer sheets. A mat you can step around does not do the job of a wide sheet.
Thickness and weight
20%This set runs from a stated 3 mm roll and a 5 mm PVC sheet to 14 mm, 15 mm, and 22 mm entrance mats. Printed weight runs from 750 g to 18 kg. Heavy is not a pendulum score, and clashing weight lines are not averaged away.
Material as printed
15%Recycled rubber is stated only on the 120 cm Ark Mat. The bimiti material field says standard PVC even though the title says rubber. The others say rubber without a grade. A part code that contains 4MM is not a measured thickness.
Reviews and photo match
20%Star rating, then the size of the UK review sample. The 300 cm sheet has one rating and no review text. Two reviews of the 90 × 210 cm mat say the parcel did not match the gallery. Those faults stay in the score.
Choose the job before the thickness. Mud at a door wants holes or a scraper. A garage, a van, or a boat wants a sheet you can cut and then air. Prices below are the shelf prices in these amazon.co.uk files, captured on 19 October 2026, not a live re-scrape.
A rubber mat in this comparison is a loose floor mat with a rubber walking surface, or a drainage sheet sold beside those mats. The seven amazon.co.uk listings cover a closed deckplate, an open-hole entrance mat, a honeycomb mat, a finger scraper, a long drainage sheet, and a thin checker roll. You use one at a door, on decking, in a garage or a shed, or as a cut lining for a van or a boat.
A tufted doormat with a rubber back, a bath mat, an EVA gym tile, and a bar mat are different products. The bimiti title says rubber while the material field says standard PVC. Read the material line.
The checker roll is a stated 3 mm. The honeycomb is 22 mm. The Nicoman part code contains 4MM, and the technical table does not print a thickness. A thin roll is not a heavy entrance mat.
The 150 cm Ark Mat states a bevel. The 22 mm Ark Mat states a square edge. A feature line is not that bevel. None of these listings prints a pendulum test value, and weight is not a slip score.
Mud at a door wants holes or a scraper. A garage or a van wants a sheet you can cut. A closed deckplate can let water sit on top. In this set the Nicoman mat is the closed deckplate, and one review says outdoor water lies on it. The 150 cm Ark Mat and the honeycomb both state drainage holes. The honeycomb edge is square. The 150 cm Ark Mat states a moulded bevel for wheelchair and pushchair use.
A 60 × 40 cm mat covers a step. A double door or a works entrance needs the 120 cm, 150 cm, or longer sheets. The BWKJMY sheet is titled 90 × 210 cm. The bimiti sheet is 300 × 90 cm. The tonchean roll is 1 × 5 m. Match the piece to the opening before you compare the star rating. Recycled rubber is stated only on the 120 cm Ark Mat. bimiti’s material field says standard PVC even though the title says rubber. The others say rubber without a grade. Printed weights run from 750 g to 18 kg.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You can place a mat of about 7 to 9 kg and you want a stated bevel plus drainage holes. The Ark Mat entrance mat is 150 × 90 cm at about £24.95, with 4.8 from 118 reviews. Thickness is printed as 14 mm and as 1.2 cm, so those two figures are not settled.
About £17.95 and a deep open mat matter more than a bevel. The Ark Mat honeycomb is 120 × 80 cm by 22 mm, recycled rubber stated, with 4.6 from 400 reviews. The edge is square, and reviews report black crumbs and sliding on plastic decking.
You will cut a sheet and you can air a new-rubber smell. The tonchean checker roll is 1 × 5 m by 3 mm at about £53, listed at 18 kg, with 4.5 from 76 reviews. It is a closed sheet, so water does not fall through holes.
The top pick is the Ark Mat entrance mat, 150 × 90 cm, score 96, at about £24.95. It is the highest score because the listing states drainage holes and a moulded bevel for wheelchair and pushchair use, with 4.8 from 118 reviews. Weight is printed as 7.49 kg and as 9 kg, and thickness as 14 mm and as 1.2 cm. The best value is the Ark Mat honeycomb mat, score 92, at about £17.95, with 4.6 from 400 reviews, a stated 22 mm honeycomb, and a note that you can trim it. The edge is square. Neither award is a lab result, and neither listing prints a pendulum test value.
