Which cab mat ?

Got the Kiravan mat, seems decent.
Doesn't fit properly with the sliding swivel base but it's close enough.

I've had 2 different sets so far.
I bought a Leighton Vans set for a 1+1 cab - it was very nice quality but the heel pad was in the wrong place
I then bought a full set of carpets from Harrison's Trim Supplies - these have also been ok, but I've never been able to get the corners/edges by the door entry to sit flat. Also, after 12 months the stitching around the heel pad had started to go.
I am considering paying a visit to Rugs for Bugs in Worcester, so they can measure the van and do me a proper custom set in top quality carpet, with all the cut outs for the lashing points, etc., done right.

Thanks for the feedback John A, the ones we've previously bought have been fitted ok but you can't hoover them clean , have no pile or luxury feel about them in any way .
Maybe I buy another cheapo and some monster mats or something to take the bulk of the hammering

I Had automotive grade which was amazing quality but the went for the coffee sack ones and they are just as good....you wont go wrong with any i dont think.....
Ours were from rugs for bugs. When i contacted the seller, he recommended the automotive grade ones, i also got the mats for the door pockets etc to stop stuff sliding around. Fantastic quality for us and exactly what we needed. The seller was really helpful too

Sisal to be a bit different.
So it turns out I thought the mat set from Harrison Trim Supplies in June 2024
This is it after being vacuumed about 9-10 months later.
I’ve found that a brush, Tornador and a decent compressor is better at cleaning carpet than a vacuum.
I have Kiravans and they fit great and are a deep pile (if that’s the right term) but they are basically just lots of strands of plastic blown around in a spatter so not the height of luxury.
You can jet wash them. I vacuum with the cordless Dyson and that works. Jumping in with muddy and wet boots is fine as the mat can take it.
Very hardy mats and the many air voids in the construction provides some give and no doubt a bit of sound absorption.

These are mine, the coffee sack style one is slightly thinner and i used a rubber mate on the yellow trimmed one as the floor in the van has no carpet so moved around alot..to stick the doorstep ones down i used 3m tape....its ok, had to replace it now and then though...
How do they stay in place? I've always looked at some of these step mats but can't help thinking I'll kick them out of the van when I get in or out.
I stuck them down with 3m tape, give the steps a real good clean, i used alcohol gel and then some auto finesse cleaning stuff....I've had to restick them but they do hold on 3m tape...just be careful....
