Buy Mats Online for Your Home at the Best Prices | Wakefit

A mat is a flat, portable floor covering made to take the wear a floor would otherwise take on its own - grit at the entrance, water outside the bathroom, oil splashes near the stove, the weight of your body through a workout. The Wakefit mats range covers those jobs with door mats, bath mats, kitchen mats, general-purpose floor mats for home, and yoga mats.

Materials run across natural coir, rubber and PVC-backed blends, cotton, foam, and quick-drying microfibre. Sizes go from compact 40x60 cm bath and door mats up to longer runners for kitchens and hallways, in rectangular, oval, round, and half-round shapes. Some are built for outdoor use at a main door or balcony, where they have to handle sun and rain; others are meant strictly for indoors, where softness underfoot and easy washing matter more.

Most of the range is machine washable or rinse-and-dry, and nearly everything sits on an anti-skid backing so the mat stays where you put it. Buying mats online from Wakefit gets you the same direct-to-you pricing as the rest of our home range, with free delivery and a straightforward returns process. Below is a breakdown of the types, materials, sizes, and designs, so you can work out which mat belongs where in your home.

Explore Different Types of Mat for Every Space in Your Home

Most homes need more than one kind of mat, because each room asks something different of the floor. A doorway needs to trap dirt, a bathroom needs to soak up water, a kitchen needs cushioning and grip. Here are the main types of mats and where each one earns its keep.

Floor Mats

Floor mats are the all-rounders. They go in bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, study corners, and beside the bed, adding a bit of softness and keeping the floor underneath cleaner. A good floor mat for home use is easy to lift, easy to wash, and thin enough that doors still swing over it. Most people start with one or two and then keep adding as they notice the spots that could use one.

Yoga Mats

A yoga mat gives you grip and cushioning for floor work - asanas, stretching, core sets, anything where your knees, wrists, and spine are in contact with a hard surface. Thickness and grip are the two things that decide whether a mat feels right. If you are picking your first one, our yoga mat buying guide walks through thickness, material, and grip in plain language, and there is more on choosing the best yoga mat for your practice.

Bath Mats

Bath mats do one job extremely well: absorb the water you carry out of the shower before it reaches the rest of the floor. Look for high absorbency, a non-slip backing, and quick drying, because a mat that stays damp all day is a mat that starts to smell. Shaggy and popcorn-weave bathroom mats feel plush underfoot; flatter weaves dry faster.

Kitchen Mats

You stand in a kitchen far longer than you realise, usually on tile, usually barefoot or in slippers. A kitchen mat adds cushioning where you stand most - at the counter and in front of the stove - and catches the oil, water, and crumbs that land there. A doormat for kitchen entrances is worth having too, especially if the kitchen opens onto a utility area or balcony.

Door Mats

Door mats are the first line of defence for the whole house. A main door mat scrapes grit off shoe soles and traps dust before it travels indoors, which means less sweeping everywhere else. Coir and rubber door mats handle outdoor duty well because they cope with sun and rain; cotton and microfibre door mats are better placed just inside. If you are looking at door mats online, check the backing and the weather resistance before the design - the best door mats for home are the ones that stay flat and stay put. A door mat for home entrances should also be wide enough that a full step lands on it, which is the detail most people skip.

Which Mat Material Is Best for Your Needs?

Material decides almost everything about a mat - how it feels, how long it lasts, how often you have to clean it, and whether it can live outdoors. The best mats are simply the ones whose material matches the job you are buying them for. Here is how the common ones compare.

Coir Mats

Coir is natural coconut fibre, stiff and bristly, which is exactly what you want at an entrance. A coir door mat scrapes mud and grit off shoes better than any soft fabric, and it handles sun and rain without falling apart. It sheds a little fibre early on, and it is a shake-and-brush mat rather than a machine-wash one. For a main door that sees outdoor shoes every day, coir is still the sensible choice.

Rubber Mats

A rubber door mat is the low-maintenance option. It is waterproof, grips the floor firmly, takes heavy footfall without flattening, and you can hose it down or wipe it clean in a minute. Rubber floor mats for home also work well in utility areas, balconies, and garages, anywhere water is a regular visitor. They are not the softest thing to stand on, so pair them with something plusher indoors.

Cotton Mats

Cotton is soft, absorbent, and machine washable, which makes a cotton door mat or floor mat a natural fit for indoor spots - just inside the entrance, beside the bed, outside the bathroom. It soaks up moisture well and feels good underfoot. The trade-off is drying time, so cotton is best where it can air out properly rather than in a damp corner.

Foam Mats

A foam mat is all about cushioning. The padding takes pressure off your feet, knees, and lower back, which is why foam is the go-to for kitchens, standing desks, and workout corners. Memory foam bath mats are another version of the same idea - soft landing, good absorbency. Foam mats need a non-slip base to be safe on tile, so check for that.

Microfibre Mats

Microfibre packs thousands of very fine fibres into a small surface, so a microfibre mat holds a surprising amount of water and still dries fast. That combination makes it a strong pick for bathrooms and for the spot just inside the front door during monsoon. It stays soft wash after wash and is light enough to shake out and hang up without effort.

How to Choose the Right Mat for Your Home?

Choosing a mat for home use comes down to six checks. Run through them before you order and you will rarely end up with a mat that is the wrong size or in the wrong room.

Mat Size

Measure the space first. A bath mat at around 40x60 cm suits a standard bathroom doorway; a main entrance usually wants something wider so both feet land on it in one step; kitchens often do better with a long runner in front of the counter. The common mistake is going too small, which leaves half the traffic missing the mat entirely.

Mat Shape

Rectangular is the default and fits almost everywhere. Round and oval mats soften a corner or sit neatly beside a bed. Half-round mats work well right at a doorway where a full rectangle would overlap the door swing. Door mat size and shape should follow the door opening, not the other way round.

Material Choice

Match the material to the mess. Coir and rubber for outdoor grit and water, cotton and microfibre for indoor comfort and absorbency, foam where you stand for long stretches. An indoor mat does not need to survive rain, and an outdoor one does not need to feel plush, so do not pay for the wrong quality.

Indoor or Outdoor Use

An outdoor mat sits in sunlight, rain, and dust, so it needs to be fade-resistant, quick-draining, and heavy enough to stay put in wind. An outdoor floor mat at the main door or on a balcony should shrug off a downpour. Indoor mats can be softer and lighter because they only deal with what makes it past the door.

Anti-Slip Features

This is the one to take seriously. An anti slip door mat or bath mat has a rubber, PVC, or latex backing that grips the floor instead of sliding on it. On polished tile and marble, a non slip door mat is a genuine safety feature, not a nice extra - especially in a bathroom, or in a home with children or elderly family members. A waterproof door mat with a textured backing gives you both grip and water control.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Be honest about how much upkeep you will actually do. Washable door mats and machine-washable bath mats can go straight into the machine, which means they get cleaned more often. Coir and heavy rubber mats need shaking, brushing, or rinsing instead. Pick the one that fits your routine, because a mat only works when it is clean.

What Are the Benefits of Using Mats at Home?

Mats are one of the cheapest upgrades you can make to a home, and the benefits of mats show up within a week of putting them down. Here is what a well-placed set of floor mats for home actually does for you.

Dirt and Dust Control

A foot mat for home use at the entrance stops most of the outdoor dirt right there. Less grit travelling through the house means less sweeping, less mopping, and cleaner floors between cleans. If you have a single mat and nothing else, put it at the front door.

Floor Protection

Grit is abrasive. Dragged across tile, wood, or vinyl under shoe soles, it scratches and dulls the surface over time. A mat catches that grit and takes the wear itself, which is a far cheaper thing to replace than a floor. Mats also shield floors from dropped water and from furniture that gets shifted often.

Water Absorption

A water absorbent door mat at the entrance during monsoon, and an absorbent mat outside the shower, stop puddles forming where people walk. That matters for safety, and it matters for the floor too, since standing water is what loosens tile grout and warps wooden flooring over the years.

Slip Resistance

Wet tile is slippery, and an anti-skid mat gives you a dry, grippy patch exactly where you need it - stepping out of the shower, coming in from the rain, standing at the kitchen sink. It is a small thing that prevents a serious fall.

Added Foot Comfort

Hard floors are tiring to stand on. A cushioned mat in the kitchen or by the bed gives your feet something softer to land on, and in winter it takes the chill out of that first step in the morning. You notice it most on the days you are on your feet the longest.

What Mat Designs Can You Choose for Your Home?

A mat sits in plain view at the entrance to a room, so the design is doing visual work whether you planned it or not. Mat designs at Wakefit run from quiet and neutral to playful, so you can match the mood of each space. It is also easy to tie them in with your bedding and curtains for a room that looks put together rather than assembled piece by piece.

Welcome Mats

A welcome door mat is the oldest idea in the category and still the most used. Simple lettering, a clean border, and a hard-wearing surface - it greets people and does the scraping job at the same time. Coir welcome mats suit traditional entrances; rubber ones suit apartment corridors.

Designer Mats

Designer door mats bring in geometric patterns, textured weaves, and considered colour, so the mat reads as part of the decor rather than a utility item. These work well at a main door you want to look finished, or in an entryway that opens directly into the living room.

Printed Mats

Printed mats carry motifs, florals, typography, or abstract patterns across the surface. A good door mat design also hides everyday dust better than a plain light colour, which is a practical reason to choose a print for a high-traffic doorway.

Decorative Mats

Decorative mats lean into colour and texture - braided weaves, tufted piles, contrast borders. Use them where they will be seen and where footfall is moderate, such as a bedroom side, a reading corner, or an entrance foyer, so the texture stays looking good.

Cute Mats

A cute mat with a friendly print, a quote, or a soft pastel palette adds a bit of personality to a doorway or a kids' room. These home decor mats are the easiest way to change the feel of a space without changing anything else in it.

How to Care for and Maintain Your Mats?

Mats are easy to look after, but they are also easy to forget about until they look grey. A few minutes a week is genuinely all it takes to keep them clean and in shape.

Regular Cleaning

Shake out or vacuum your mats twice a week, more often for the entrance mat. Cleaning mats regularly stops dust working its way deep into the fibres, which is the point at which a mat starts looking dull and stops trapping dirt properly. For coir, a stiff brush against the pile lifts out the grit a vacuum leaves behind.

Washing Instructions

Check the label first. Most cotton and microfibre mats go into the machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent - washing mats too hot or with bleach breaks down the backing. Rubber and PVC-backed mats prefer a rinse and wipe over a machine wash. Coir should never be soaked; spot clean it instead.

Drying and Storage

Dry mats fully before they go back on the floor, ideally flat or over a line in the shade. Strong direct sun fades colour, and a damp mat left in place will smell within a day. If you are storing seasonal mats, roll them rather than folding them, and keep them somewhere dry.

Maintaining Mat Quality

Rotate mats every few weeks so one edge is not taking all the footfall. Trim loose threads rather than pulling them, keep the anti-skid backing clean so it keeps gripping, and give heavy-use entrance mats a deep clean once a month. Done consistently, this adds years to a mat.

Do anti-fatigue mats really work?

Yes, within limits. An anti-fatigue mat has a cushioned core that lets your feet make tiny stabilising movements while you stand, which keeps the muscles in your legs and lower back from locking up. People who cook for long stretches or work at a standing desk usually feel the difference the same day. It is not a cure for back pain, but for the tiredness that comes from standing on hard tile, it helps.

FAQs

1. What is the best material for a floor mat?

It depends on where the mat goes. Coir and rubber are best at an outdoor entrance because they scrape grit and handle rain. Cotton and microfibre suit indoor use where softness and absorbency matter. Foam is the pick for spots where you stand for long periods.

2. Which type of mat is best for the main door?

A coir or rubber mat with a non-slip PVC backing. Both scrape dirt off shoes effectively and survive sun and rain, which an indoor cotton mat will not. Choose a size wide enough that both feet land on it as someone walks in.

3. What is the difference between indoor and outdoor mats?

Outdoor mats are built to resist water, fading, and heavy footfall, using materials like coir, rubber, and PP yarn. Indoor mats prioritise softness, absorbency, and easy washing, using cotton, microfibre, or foam. Using an indoor mat outdoors will wear it out quickly.

4. Are rubber mats suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Rubber is waterproof, holds its grip when wet, does not rot, and cleans up with a rinse, which makes it one of the best choices for entrances, balconies, and utility areas exposed to weather.

5. Which mat is best for absorbing water?

Microfibre and cotton absorb the most, which is why they dominate bath mats. Microfibre holds a lot of water and still dries fast; memory foam bath mats with an absorbent top layer are a good alternative if you want extra cushioning too.

6. How do I choose the right mat size for my home?

Measure the space and the door swing first. Around 40x60 cm covers a standard bathroom doorway, entrances usually need something wider so a full step lands on the mat, and kitchens often work better with a long runner along the counter. When in doubt, size up rather than down.

7. Are anti-slip mats suitable for bathrooms and entrances?

Yes, and those are the two places they matter most. A rubber or PVC backing grips wet tile instead of sliding on it, which is a real safety benefit in a bathroom and at a rainy entrance, particularly with children or elderly family members in the house.

8. How do I clean and wash a mat?

Follow the care label. Cotton and microfibre mats machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent, no bleach. Rubber and PVC-backed mats are best rinsed and wiped. Coir should be shaken, brushed, and spot cleaned rather than soaked. Dry everything fully before putting it back down.

9. How often should I clean my floor mats?

Shake or vacuum them about twice a week, and wash them every two to four weeks depending on traffic. Entrance and bathroom mats need the most frequent attention; a bedroom-side mat can go longer between washes.

10. What is the difference between a floor mat and a doormat?

A doormat sits at an entrance and is built to scrape and trap dirt, usually in a tough material like coir or rubber. A floor mat is used inside a room for comfort, warmth, and floor protection, in softer materials like cotton, microfibre, or foam. Most homes need both, in the same way they need different textiles for different jobs across bedding and soft furnishing.
