Floor Mats

It depends on your specific needs. Rubber floor mats are tough and easy to wipe down, which can be great for muddy boots or car interiors. Foam ones are soft and comfy, perfect for camping or indoor use. Simply pick whichever suits your lifestyle best!

For everyday comfort, most people choose floor mats that are around half an inch thick. It’s just the right balance of not too soft but not too hard. But if you're using it for workouts or somewhere with heavy traffic, a thicker mat might be more suitable.

Standard floor mats usually come in at about 60cm by 90cm, but that can vary quite a bit. Whether you’re kitting out your tent, car, or hallway, Halfords has floor mats in all shapes and sizes so it’s easy to find one that works for you.

It depends on the type of mat you’ve got. Fabric mats can usually go in the washing machine on a gentle, cool cycle, but it’s worth checking the label first. Give them a good shake outside to get rid of loose dirt and stones before washing. Rubber mats are better cleaned by hand, as the heat and spinning can warp them. A quick rinse with warm water and a brush does the job, then leave them to air dry fully before putting them back in the car.

They can help a bit. Thicker mats soak up some of the vibration and road noise, so the car feels quieter, especially on longer drives.
