Best Floor Mats for Cars reviews of 2018

These durable mats are made from thick, heavy-duty rubber to withstand all weather conditions and keep your car in top condition. The high quality FlexTough rubber used will not crack in extreme heat or cold weather, and it is also scratch resistant. The mats remain pliable and strong in all weather conditions and are longer lasting than many of the mats on the market. What’s more, the rubber used is completely odorless, so you won’t have to worry about trying to cover the smell in your car. It is easy to customize the size of these mats, too. All you’ll need is a pair of scissors and you’ll be able to cut away inside the grooves to create a mat that fits perfectly to your particular vehicle. The inverted shell design traps dirt and debris and allows you to easily wipe the mat down.

Part of the Flex Tough Baseline series, these mats are made from the highest quality polymers and are specifically designed to be durable in all weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, wet or snowy weather, and to protect against mud. The material is also completely odorless and non-toxic. They are specially designed using linear and diagonal ridges, so they trap dirt and debris much more effectively. The non-skid backing provides extra grip to the floor so they won’t slip or slide out of place. When it’s time to clean the mats simply remove them from the footwell and spray down with water.

You don’t need to worry about replacing your mats regularly either, as the rubber used means the mats are built to last. In terms of the shaping, the mats use an inverted shell design with deep dish channels that effectively trap all dirt and mess associated with adverse weather conditions and prevents these from getting to your car’s carpet flooring. They are particularly useful for rainy or snowy climates too, as they are easy to remove and clean down regularly.

These waterproof and stain resistant floor mats have a tall, sturdy outer ridge to prevent any liquids or other messes from leaking out of the side onto the carpet below. The heavily nibbed backing ensures that there is minimal slippage, so the mats stay securely in place even with heavy, regular use.
