Is it worth it?
Yes, for the inside of a front door: this is plain, thick, old-fashioned coir, 17mm of it, in a 50 x 100cm piece that fills a Victorian hallway's width and can be cut down with a knife to fit round the door. The listing sells the same matting by the metre up to three metres long, and it has nearly two thousand ratings. The catch is that it is matting, not a finished mat: the edges are cut, the listing says nothing about a rubber backing, and it is sold and dispatched by the seller rather than Amazon.
Is it for you?
- Inside a front door, on tiles or boards, in a plain neutral
- A hallway that needs an odd size: it cuts to fit
- Anyone who wants the thick coir of a hardware shop rather than a printed mat
- Anyone who wants a bound edge or a motif — it is plain matting with cut edges
- A floor where it must not move: the listing does not mention a non-slip backing
- Anyone who needs Amazon dispatch
The honest read
- 17mm thick coir, by the listing's measurement, that scrapes boots
- Cut to size with a knife; other lengths up to 3m on the same listing
- Nearly two thousand ratings on a UK flooring seller's listing
- Plain natural coir, in keeping with a period hallway
- It is matting rather than a finished mat: the edges are cut, not bound, and the listing says nothing about a rubber or non-slip backing
- Sold and dispatched by the seller, not Amazon
- Coir sheds a little at first, as the fibres settle
How we checked this · Researched, not handled · Oct 2026
Researched from the Amazon UK listing and the other sources listed here. We have not handled this product. The catch comes from the Amazon UK listing (8 October 2026).
- Size (50 x 100cm), thickness (17mm), the coir fibre, the cut-to-size note and the other lengths taken from the Amazon UK listing for the 50 x 100cm variant, checked 8 October 2026. The listing says nothing about a backing.
- The catch is what the listing leaves out: no bound edge and no backing are mentioned.

FloorPro coir entrance matting: questions answered
- Can you cut FloorPro coir matting to size?
- Yes. The listing says it is easy to cut, and the same matting is sold in lengths from 50cm to 3m at a metre wide, so a hallway of any width can be fitted.
- Does FloorPro coir matting have a rubber backing?
- The listing does not say. It describes thick tufted coir and nothing about a backing, so on a polished floor assume it may move.
- How thick is FloorPro coir matting?
- 17mm, according to the listing, which is thicker than most printed coir doormats and is what makes it scrape boots.
