What kind of doormat is at your front door? And are you still happy with it? Perhaps it’s time for a new doormat. Have you ever considered a coir mat? A coir mat is charming and does exactly what it’s supposed to—clean your shoes.
Coir mat for your front door: a true charmer
We’d almost say, “the good old coir mat,” because coir mats are true classics. They look stunning at your front door and add a touch of elegance to your entryway. Why is that? Likely because of the mat’s natural appearance.
Coir mats are made from a natural product: the fibers of the—you guessed it—coconut. These fibers are excellent at scraping dirt from your soles and are great at trapping sand. That’s why they’re considered dirt trapper mats. However, they’re not as effective at absorbing moisture. But hey, you can’t have it all!

Your custom-made coir mat
The perfect coir mat for your front door is, of course, one that fits perfectly—a custom-made coir mat. While you can place a coir mat directly on the floor, most coir mats are recessed. In this case, it’s especially important that the dimensions are accurate. It looks best when the coir mat at your front door is flush with the floor. If the height falls short, you can compensate with a rubber underlay mat.
Benefits of a coir mat for your front door
Many coir mat owners appreciate the natural look of the mat, but there are several additional benefits:
- A clean entryway
- A warm welcome
- A durable doormat
- Easy to clean
- Always matches your interior
In short, a coir mat is quite an all-rounder—a doormat that’s always a great choice. Just make sure to use it indoors!

A coir mat is not an outdoor mat
A coir mat loves being placed at your front door—but only indoors, not outdoors. A coir mat is absolutely not suitable for outdoor use. Exposure to rain and moisture can cause the mat to mold, which would be a shame. Indoors, however, you’ll definitely enjoy your thin coir mat, as our coir mats are only 17 millimeters thick!
Maintaining your coir mat for the front door
A coir mat requires minimal maintenance. Regular vacuuming is usually enough, but you can also shake it out if needed. Want to know more? Read here about how to clean your coir mat.
