A doormat is much more than just a piece of cloth at the front door. It keeps dirt and moisture out, protects your floor, prevents slipping and makes a good first impression. Whether you go for practical or stylish ( or both), a doormat is a smart investment for every household.

Not every doormat is the same. Some are tough dirt eaters, others are soft sole pampering. One mat soaks up water like a sponge, while the other prefers to stay dry. But how do you know which doormat suits your situation? We list the five most popular materials for doormats – so that you will soon know exactly what should be in front of your door. 1. Polyamide (nylon): the all-rounder For the busy entrance where mud doesn't stand a chance. Polyamide is a high-performance fibre. These mats are strong, resilient and absorb dirt and moisture well. They retain their shape and colour, even after thousands of steps. Advantages: extremely wear-resistant, good dirt and moisture absorption, colourfast Disadvantages: slightly more expensive, but you get top quality in return Perfect for: shops, offices, families with kids or dogs – heavy traffic zones 2. Polyester: the budget-friendly beauty For those who mainly want it to look nice. Polyester mats are easy on the wallet and the eye. They are colourfast and feel soft. They are ideal for decorative use or areas where people don't walk in and out all day long. Advantages: cheap, colourfast, soft Disadvantages: less durable, not the best dirt fighter Perfect for: Bedrooms, Low traffic interior entrances 3. Polypropylene (PP): the dirt scraper For outdoor use and rough feet. Polypropylene mats scrape dirt off your soles like they enjoy it. They’re rot-proof, mildew-resistant, and great for the outdoors. But… they’re not so fond of water. Advantages: good resistance to external moisture, strong, rot-free Disadvantages: does not absorb water itself - so no sponge effect Perfect for: outdoor mats, carports, garages 4. Cotton: the thirsty indoor mat For when it's wet outside and you don't want it inside. Cotton doormats are moisture absorbers. They absorb water quickly – ideal on rainy days. They also feel nice and soft, but wear out a little faster than their synthetic brothers. Advantages: excellent moisture absorption, natural material Disadvantages: wears out faster, dries slower Perfect for: indoor use at front or back door 5. Coconut fiber: the natural classic For style with a stiff bite. Coconut mats look robust and natural. The fibres are coarse and scrape dirt fanatically from your shoes. But coconut does not like rain - and if it gets wet, it will crumble. Advantages: natural, strong scraping power, characteristic look Disadvantages: not suitable for outdoor use in the rain, loses fibres with heavy use Perfect for: covered entrances, indoor use with charisma Conclusion: which mat do you put down? It all depends on where you put the mat and how much traffic that spot gets. Looking for an outdoor mat? Go for polypropylene or coconut (if covered). Is moisture the problem? Then cotton is your friend. Do you just want a mat that can do it all? Then polyamide is the undisputed champion. Would you rather have personal advice? Contact us via chat.
