“Getting under someone’s feet” isn’t usually seen as a positive phrase, but when it comes to selecting the best car mats for your vehicle, getting the right ones under someone’s feet really does matter. The correct car mats for your lifestyle can make all the difference to your comfort on a journey. Where do you lean in the car mat debate? If you’re undecided, we give 3 tips on how to go about selecting the best car mats for you.
Consider what the car mat is made of
Car mats are available in the form of rubber mats or as carpet mats, but not all within those two categories are created equally. When looking at rubber mat options, make sure you’re selecting a dense, durable rubber mat with substance yet flexibility. Travall Mats are a great choice and they stand up to car temperature changes, so don’t crack or degrade like some lesser quality variants. If carpet mats are more your style, again it’s important to go for a high quality fabric that is plush under foot but durable enough to hold up against foot traffic.
Look at the shape and fit
Ideally you want your car mats to fully cover the foot well area of the car. So the best coverage available is offered by mats with a vehicle-specific fit. Not only do they fit to perfection, but they look like they are supposed to be there. Crucially, they also attach correctly to the manufacturer’s existing fitting points, so there’s no chance of them bunching up awkwardly or impeding pedal action on the driver’s side.
Have the best of both worlds
If you like to spend time in outdoors and time in the city, then you may find that switching between car mats is the best option for you. Rubber mats to make clean up easy after muddy hikes in the hills, and carpet mats for trips to the movie theater. As Travall Mats and Travall UrbanMats (available for purchase via our UK website) are so easy to install, you can literally change them every day to suit that day’s activities.
