The best BBQ mats, compared.
Top pick: M METERXITY (190 x 100 cm floor mat) Best value: GQC (6 sheets, 40 x 33 cm) – Best value because about £8.99 buys six sheets and 4.5 from 5,711 reviews, the largest count here. The material lines do not agree. Updated 21.10.2026.
A BBQ mat on amazon.co.uk is either a thin non-stick sheet for the grill grate or a larger mat under the barbecue. A floor mat does not stop food falling through the bars. Its bullets and its material field do not name the same coating. Heat claims of 982°C to 1000°C are seller text. A mat does not make a charcoal barbecue safe on decking or a balcony. The decision order is in the [BBQ mat buying guide](/hub/grill-accessories/bbq-mat/sub/bbq-mat-buying-guide). A larger mat lies under the barbecue or a fire pit so grease and sparks hit the mat instead of the patio. Linda's states 41.3 x 58.4 cm, so one sheet spans more of a wide gas grill. A four-burner grate usually needs two of the 40 cm sheets. The floor mats run from at 100 x 150 cm to at about 254 x 130 cm. Nicoman’s material field is PVC and rubber, not silicone-coated fibreglass. The other floor mats are sold as silicone-coated fibreglass.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Where will the mat sit?
M METERXITY is one floor mat at 190 x 100 cm for £24.49, listed at 1.22 kg, in glass fibre with silicone on both sides. The bullet claims up to 1000°C and a thickness of 0.5 mm, while a dimension line says 0.1 cm, so thickness is another pair of figures. The listing shows 5.0 from 5 ratings, and the file has one UK review, which says only that it was fantastic. Five ratings are not evidence the mat lasts a season. Bullets say it does not absorb oil or water and that you can rinse it with a hose, which is a grease-mat claim you can check, unlike 1000°C. The shape is long enough for a rectangular gas barbecue plus a margin, if the mat you receive matches 190 x 100 cm. It is not a cooking sheet, and the star line should not decide the purchase.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a long rinseable mat under a rectangular barbecue and you will ignore a five-rating star line.
Less suitable: You are choosing on 5.0 stars, or you need review evidence about embers and decking.
Specifications
Common questions
How many reviews support the 5.0 score?
The listing line says 5.0 from 5 ratings. The saved listing has one UK review, which says only that it was fantastic.
What heat claim is printed?
The bullet says up to 1000°C. That is a seller claim. Thickness is given as 0.5 mm in the bullet.
Does the listing say it is waterproof?
Yes. Bullets say it does not absorb oil or water and can be rinsed with a hose.
Homealexa is five sheets listed at 40 x 33 cm for £10.99, with 4.7 from 1,008 reviews and the highest listing score in this set at 96. Bullets say PTFE-coated fibreglass, PFOA-free, up to 260°C, also written as 500°F, and they say the sheets can be trimmed and washed in a dishwasher. A material field says PTFE-free, one bullet prints 40 x 30 cm, and the pack weight is 250 g. The file holds 13 UK review bodies against a count of 1,008, so the star line is much larger than the review text you can read here. That score of 96 is stars plus review volume, not a lab test, and it does not override the PTFE clash. It is not the top pick in this comparison because you cannot tell from the page whether the coating is PTFE.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 4.7-star five-pack at 40 x 33 cm and you will treat the PTFE-free field as a reason to double-check the live listing.
Less suitable: You need the bullet and the specification to name the same coating, or one extra-large sheet.
Specifications
Common questions
What heat limit is printed?
The bullet says up to 260°C, also written as 500°F, and says the sheets are PFOA-free.
Why do the material lines disagree?
The bullets say fibreglass coated with PTFE. The material-free field says polytetrafluoroethylene free.
Can they be cut?
The bullet says the 40 x 33 cm sheets can be trimmed. The saved listing has 13 UK review bodies against a count of 1,008.
This GQC pack is £10.99, with 4.7 from 459 reviews, and the dimension field says 40 x 30 cm at 290 g. The title says six sheets, while the items field says 1, so the pack count is not a single figure. Bullets say PTFE fibreglass and PFOA-free, and they include an FDA line, while a field says PTFE-free. The heat claim is 500°F and the dishwasher field says yes. An FDA line on amazon.co.uk is seller text, not a UK certificate, and these sheets are narrower than the £8.99 GQC six-pack, with far fewer reviews. The listing score of 92 reflects the 4.7 stars and the smaller review count, not a lab test. Buy it only if 40 x 30 cm is the size you measured, and only after you have read both material lines.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured a grate that suits 40 x 30 cm and you accept a smaller review sample than the £8.99 GQC pack.
Less suitable: You want the six-pack with 5,711 reviews, or a listing that does not contradict itself on PTFE.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is this GQC pack?
The dimension field says 40 x 30 cm. The title also writes 15.75 x 11.8 inches. Weight is 290 g.
Does the listing claim a dishwasher?
Yes. The dishwasher field says yes.
Is the FDA line a UK approval?
No. It is a seller line on the amazon.co.uk listing. The same page also has a field that says PTFE-free while the bullets say PTFE.
Linda's Essentials is three fibreglass cooking sheets at £9.99, and the bullet states 41.3 x 58.4 cm and a ceiling of 260°C. Across 1,642 amazon.co.uk reviews the listing sits at 4.6, and that footprint is the only extra-large grate sheet in this set, so one piece spans more of a wide gas grill than a 40 x 33 cm sheet. The cleanup bullet says you can wipe the sheets or put them in the dishwasher, and they can be trimmed, while the 17.78 cm line is the packed size at 250 g, not the mat. No open-flame distance is printed, so the sheet still has to stay off a direct flame. Review patterns for this solid sheet include fat pooling, which leaves sausages sitting in liquid instead of taking colour from the bars. It carries the top-pick badge because the size solves a coverage job the smaller packs do not. The listing score of 94 is stars plus review volume, not a lab test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one extra-large sheet across a gas grate and you will keep it off a direct flame.
Less suitable: You want char from fat dripping onto the bars, or a mat under the barbecue rather than on the grate.
Specifications
Common questions
What size does the listing give for the mat?
The bullet says 41.3 x 58.4 cm. The technical line 17.78 x 17.78 x 13.21 cm is the packed size, at 250 g.
Does the listing say it is dishwasher safe?
The cleanup bullet says you can wipe the sheets or put them in the dishwasher. There is no separate dishwasher field.
What heat limit is printed?
The bullet says the material withstands up to 260°C and says the sheets are BPA and PFOA free. No open-flame distance is printed.
Ankier is eight PTFE-coated fibreglass sheets at 40 x 33 cm for £11.99, with 4.6 from 1,130 reviews and a pack weight of 350 g, the largest sheet count in this set. One bullet says continuous use from -70°C to 260°C and, in the same bullet, up to 380°F, and those two figures are not the same temperature. The specification field says the sheets are not dishwasher safe, while a bullet says the top shelf of a dishwasher. Reviews in the file include fat pooling and black material turning up in the food. The sheets can be trimmed, and the bullets name charcoal, gas, and electric grills, with no printed flame gap. Eight spares help when a sheet wears out, and they do not fix a temperature line you would have to average. The listing score of 94 matches Linda's on stars and volume, without the extra-large size, and it is not a lab test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want eight matching 40 x 33 cm PTFE sheets and you will follow the lower, consistent reading of the heat line rather than 380°F as if it were 260°C.
Less suitable: You want a clear dishwasher answer, or one sheet wide enough for a four-burner grate.
Specifications
Common questions
Which temperature does the listing print?
One bullet says continuous use from -70°C to 260°C and, in the same bullet, up to 380°F. Both figures are printed.
Are the sheets dishwasher safe?
The specification field says no. A bullet says the top shelf of a dishwasher.
How big is each sheet?
40 x 33 cm. The pack is 8 sheets at 350 g, material field PTFE-coated fibreglass.
The GQC six-pack is £8.99 for sheets listed at 40 x 33 cm, with 4.5 from 5,711 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest review count in this set. Bullets say PTFE-coated fibreglass about 0.2 mm and PFOA-free, while the material field says silicone and fabric, and a second size line reads 40 x 32.5 cm. The heat claim is 500°F, the dishwasher field says yes, the pack weighs 300 g, and the sheets can be trimmed. A four-burner gas grill usually needs two sheets side by side, because one 40 cm piece will not cover the grate. The material clash means you cannot treat the page as a single answer on PTFE. It carries the best-value badge because £8.99 buys six sheets and that review volume, not because the specification lines agree. The listing score of 93 is stars plus reviews, not a lab test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want spare 40 x 33 cm sheets for a standard grate and you will read both material lines before you cook.
Less suitable: You need one extra-large sheet, or a listing whose bullet and specification name the same material.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the material PTFE or silicone?
The bullets say fibreglass coated with PTFE, PFOA-free, about 0.2 mm. The material field says silicone and fabric. Both lines are on the listing.
Does the listing say the sheets are dishwasher safe?
Yes. The dishwasher field says yes, and the bullet says cleanup is in the dishwasher.
How many sheets are in the pack?
The title and the number-of-items field both say 6. The size line is 40 x 33 cm.
Cookey is five 40 x 33 cm sheets at £7.99, the lowest shelf price in this set, with 4.5 from 1,771 reviews and a listed weight of 200 g. The title covers oven liners and reusable barbecue mats, and the bullets name a gas grill as well as an oven floor. Bullets say silicone, the material field says polytetrafluoroethylene, and a free-from field says PTFE-free, so three lines describe the material, and no heat limit is printed. The specification says the sheets are dishwasher safe, though one UK review says they were washed in the sink. Another review describes a hole where charcoal from sausages sat, and fat pooling shows up in the same review pattern. Trimming is mentioned in reviews rather than as a single clean size bullet. It is the cheapest pack here, and the material lines do not agree.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest five-pack in this set for a gas grill or an oven liner and you will ignore none of the material lines.
Less suitable: You need a printed temperature ceiling, or a page that names one material.
Specifications
Common questions
Are these only oven liners?
The title says oven liners and reusable BBQ mats. Bullets name the oven floor, fan ovens, and a gas grill.
What material does the listing state?
Bullets say silicone. The material field says polytetrafluoroethylene, and the free-from field says PTFE-free.
Is a dishwasher claimed?
The specification says yes. One UK review says they washed the sheet in the sink and not in a dishwasher.
THMINS is the largest floor mat in this set, about 254 x 130 cm at £38.00 and 2.24 kg, with 4.2 from 142 reviews. The title and a bullet say 254 x 130 cm, while the dimension field says 129.5 x 254 x 0.1 cm, so the two size lines are printed in a different order. The material is fibreglass with silicone on both sides, and the heat bullet claims 2000°F, which is seller text. One UK review says small coals burnt through onto Millboard decking, and another says a small fire scorched the grass, while other reviews praise the size for grease and sparks. Folding is claimed, and one review says they cut the mat. It is not a food surface. Coverage is the reason to look at it, and the Millboard review is the reason not to treat it as permission to barbecue on composite decking.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a very large splash mat on a non-combustible patio and you have read the burn-through reviews.
Less suitable: Composite decking, a balcony, or anyone buying the mat so a charcoal barbecue can sit somewhere London Fire Brigade says it should not.
Specifications
Common questions
How large is the mat?
The title and bullet say 254 x 130 cm. The dimension field says 129.5 x 254 x 0.1 cm. Weight is 2.24 kg.
Did UK reviews report burn-through?
Yes. One review says small coals burnt through onto Millboard decking. Another says a small fire scorched the grass. Other reviews praise the size for grease and sparks.
Is this a food surface?
No. It is sold as an under-grill mat. Bullets also name fire pits and, separately, indoor fireplaces and ovens.
WholeFire is the only mesh cooking sheet in this set: three pieces at 40 x 33 x 0.1 cm for £10.99, 190 g, with 4.1 from 1,178 reviews. Bullets say PTFE-coated glass fibre, PFOA-free, and a heat line of 260°C or 500°F, and they say to keep the mesh at least 5 inches from open flames because direct flame damages it. The material field says plastic, which does not match the bullets. Several UK reviews describe burn-through on first use, including on a gas barbecue, a Weber, and a Big Green Egg, while other reviews say the mesh stopped food falling through. The dishwasher field says yes, and the sheets can be trimmed. The printed flame gap is useful, and it has not stopped holes in those first-use reports. The listing score of 87 is the star line plus the review count, not a lab result.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want mesh so small foods stay put while some smoke still reaches them, and you can keep a real gap from the flame.
Less suitable: You have already seen burn-through reviews and you want a solid sheet with a higher star line.
Specifications
Common questions
How is this mat different from a solid sheet?
The title calls it a mesh mat. Bullets say PTFE-coated glass fibre, 40 x 33 cm, and say direct flame will damage it.
What flame gap does the listing state?
At least 5 inches from open flames. The heat line is 260°C or 500°F.
What do the UK reviews in the file say about holes?
Several reviews describe burn-through on first use, including on a gas barbecue, a Weber, and a Big Green Egg. Others say the mesh stopped food falling through.
Alckijy is a floor mat, not a cooking sheet: one silicone-coated fibreglass piece at 100 x 150 x 0.5 cm and 950 g, for £12.85, with 4.1 from 221 reviews. The bullets describe a barrier under a fireplace or barbecue for patio, lawn, and deck splashes, and they say to use the black side facing up. The heat bullet claims up to 1800°F, which is seller text, and one UK review says the grass underneath still burned. Handle and cooking-area fields on the same page do not match a floor mat. It is the lowest-priced floor mat in this set, and the claim does not make a charcoal barbecue safe on decking or a balcony. The listing score of 81 reflects 4.1 stars and 221 reviews, not a fire test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a low-priced mat under the legs for grease splashes on a patio, with the black side up, and you will not treat 1800°F as permission to cook on decking.
Less suitable: You need a sheet on the grate, or a mat that reviews show surviving embers on grass.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this go on the grate?
No. The bullets describe a barrier under a fireplace or barbecue for patio, lawn, and deck splashes. It is not a food sheet.
What heat figure is printed?
The bullet says up to 1800°F. That is a seller claim. One UK review says the grass underneath still burned.
Which side faces up?
The bullet says use it with the black side facing up. Size is 100 x 150 x 0.5 cm, 950 g.
Nicoman is a 120 x 90 x 0.4 cm floor mat at £21.99 and 2.5 kg, with 4.1 from 21 reviews. The material field says polyvinyl chloride and rubber, not silicone-coated fibreglass, and no degree figure is printed, though the title says heat and oil resistant. Two UK reviews say it melted under a fire pit, with a hole, scorched decking, or burnt grass, while other reviews praise it as a grease mat when no fire sat on it. That split is the useful part of a small review file: grease duty and ember duty are not the same job. At 2.5 kg it is the heaviest mat in this set, which helps it stay put in a breeze. The listing score of 71 is the star line plus 21 reviews, not a fire test. It is the floor mat to skip if the plan is a fire pit.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a heavy grease mat under a gas barbecue and nothing with embers will sit on it.
Less suitable: A fire pit, charcoal embers, or anyone reading the title as a high-temperature fire barrier.
Specifications
Common questions
What is it made of?
The material field says polyvinyl chloride and rubber. It does not say silicone-coated fibreglass.
Did reviewers use it under a fire pit?
Two UK reviews say it melted under a fire pit, with a hole, scorched decking, or burnt grass. Other reviews praise it as a grease mat with no fire on it.
Is a temperature number printed?
No degree figure is in the saved listing. The title says heat and oil resistant. Weight is 2.5 kg.
Ronsan is a round floor mat in silicone-coated fibreglass, listed at £18.90 with 3.8 from 16 ratings and a weight of 740 g. The title says 121 cm, the model name says 48 inch, and one of five UK review bodies mentions a 36 inch circle, so the diameter is not one agreed figure. Bullets describe a protector for patio, decking, grass, and tiles under a fire pit or barbecue, not a sheet you cook on. The heat bullet claims 1800°F, also written as 982°C, which is seller text. Sixteen ratings is a thin sample, and 3.8 is the lowest star line in this set. A round shape can suit a kettle footprint if the mat that arrives matches the title. It does not belong on the grate, and the four-digit heat line is not evidence the grass or the deck stays unmarked.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a round mat under a kettle and you will measure the mat that arrives against 121 cm before you rely on it.
Less suitable: You need a large review sample, a rectangular patio run, or food cooked on the mat.
Specifications
Common questions
What shape and size are printed?
The title says a 121 cm round mat. The model name says 48 inch. One of five UK reviews mentions a 36 inch circle.
Is this a cooking sheet?
No. Bullets describe a floor protector for patio, decking, grass, and tiles under a fire pit or barbecue.
How many ratings are on the listing line?
3.8 out of 5 from 16 ratings. The saved listing includes five UK review bodies.
Twelve amazon.co.uk listings were scored from 0 to 100. About 14 points come from each star, so 4.6 becomes 64 and 5.0 becomes 70. Review volume adds up to 30 and is capped, so 5,711 reviews and 1,642 reviews both add 30, while 5 ratings add 7 and 16 ratings add 12. The highest total is not automatically the top pick. Homealexa scores 96 and is not the top pick, because a PTFE bullet and a PTFE-free field disagree. Linda's Essentials is the top pick because 41.3 x 58.4 cm covers a wide grate the smaller packs do not. Best value is the GQC six-pack at about £8.99, with 4.5 from 5,711 reviews. These scores are listing stars plus review counts. They are not a lab test.
Stars
70%About 14 points per star on the amazon.co.uk line. A 4.6 becomes 64, a 4.7 becomes 66, a 4.1 becomes 57 and a 5.0 becomes 70. The star line is the listing figure, not a lab score.
Review volume
30%Review count adds up to 30 and is capped. Counts in the thousands reach that cap. 459 reviews add 26. 221 reviews add 24. 142 reviews add 21. 21 reviews add 14. 16 reviews add 12. 5 reviews add 7. A five-rating line is not evidence a mat lasts a season.
Choose the job before the star count. A sheet on the grate and a mat under the barbecue are different products. On amazon.co.uk the twelve kept listings run from about £7.99 to about £38. Quality is whether the bullet and the specification name the same material, whether the size matches the grate or the patio, and whether the heat line is a usable ceiling or seller text.
A BBQ mat on amazon.co.uk is one of two products. A thin sheet lies on the grill grate so food does not fall through and the bars need less scrubbing. A larger mat lies under the barbecue or a fire pit so grease and sparks hit the mat instead of the patio. A cooking sheet does not protect Millboard. A floor mat does not stop a sausage falling through the grate. Name the role before the brand.
A cooking sheet does not protect Millboard. A floor mat does not stop a sausage falling through the grate. Linda's Essentials, the GQC packs, Cookey, Homealexa, Ankier and WholeFire are grate sheets. Alckijy, Ronsan, Nicoman, M METERXITY and THMINS go under the barbecue.
Grate-sheet bullets cluster at 260°C or 500°F. Floor-mat bullets that say 982°C, 1000°C, 1800°F or 2000°F are seller text. Ankier prints 260°C and 380°F in the same bullet. Those two figures are not the same temperature. A mat does not make a charcoal barbecue safe on decking or a balcony.
GQC, Homealexa and Cookey print PTFE, silicone, or PTFE-free in different fields. Do not average them into one coating. On a solid sheet, fat can pool so sausages sit in liquid instead of taking colour from the bars. If a sheet smokes, smells sharp, or leaves black flakes, stop using it.
The first fork is the job. A cooking sheet sits on the grate. A floor mat sits under the barbecue or a fire pit. In this set the standard sheet is about 40 x 33 cm, so a wide gas grill often needs two. Linda's Essentials B0FBRY24MD states 41.3 x 58.4 cm. The narrower GQC pack states 40 x 30 cm, and its title says six items while the items field says 1. Floor mats need to be larger than the barbecue footprint. Alckijy is 100 x 150 cm.
Prefer a listing whose bullet and specification agree. GQC, Homealexa and Cookey disagree on PTFE versus silicone or “PTFE-free”. Ankier’s bullets and material field both say PTFE-coated fibreglass, but one bullet prints 260°C and 380°F. WholeFire bullets say PTFE glass fibre and a gap of at least 5 inches from open flames, while the material field says plastic and reviews include burn-through. Nicoman is PVC and rubber, and two reviews say a fire pit melted it.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You will trade some char for less scrubbing, and one piece has to cover a wide gas grate. Linda's Essentials is three fibreglass sheets at about £9.99, stated at 41.3 x 58.4 cm, at 4.6 from 1,642 reviews. The bullet says 260°C. No flame gap is printed, and fat can pool on the solid surface.
You want a solid sheet because food used to fall through the bars. The GQC six-pack is about £8.99 for sheets listed at 40 x 33 cm, at 4.5 from 5,711 reviews. A wide gas grill usually needs two sheets side by side. Read both material lines: bullets say PTFE, the field says silicone and fabric.
You want a mat under the barbecue, larger than its footprint, for splashes rather than for cooking. Alckijy is 100 x 150 cm at about £12.85, at 4.1 from 221 reviews, with the black side up. The 1800°F line is a seller claim. One review says the grass underneath still burned. It does not make a charcoal barbecue safe on decking or a balcony.
The top pick is Linda's Essentials at about £9.99. It is three fibreglass sheets stated at 41.3 x 58.4 cm and 260°C, at 4.6 from 1,642 amazon.co.uk reviews. That footprint is the only extra-large grate sheet in this set. The 17.78 cm line is the packed size, no flame gap is printed, and fat can pool. The best value is the GQC six-pack at about £8.99, at 4.5 from 5,711 reviews. It does not outscore Homealexa, and its bullets and material field do not name the same coating. None of these scores is a lab test.
GQC (6 sheets, 40 x 33 cm)
Best value because about £8.99 buys six sheets and 4.5 from 5,711 reviews, the largest count here. The material lines do not agree.
