In need of a VERY thin door mat or rug

[nells3]

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I am looking for a very thin door mat or rug (like less than 3mm!) The front door to our flat opens straight from outside to our hallway/stairs which has lovely new carpet that I feel is gradually getting ruined. With a baby on the way especially I am worried about the pushchair etc and the small space and nice carpet we have in the doorway. I have tried thin mats before but they always end up getting stuck under the door. I feel I have trawled the internet with no luck, so any advice/suggestions please let me know! I hope that makes sense. Thank you xxx

I had one in B and M of all places, thin as a rizla and machine washable

@nell3 We have a doormat in a metal frame that’s recessed in the floorboards.

The Range had some very thin carpet-type mats with thin rubbery edging, would they be any good?

Or there's this one on Amazon at 2-3mm thick:

Thank you all, didn't think of looking at the range but that is looking hopeful! Xx

Turtle mats are great & have some lovely designs - they are expensive, but worth it IMO

Also Hug Rugs (we have please wipe your paws)(no dogs though )

Oh - Hug Rugs are too thick, sorry

Another vote for a Turtlemat, or cheaper rip off in a similar style.

Turtle mat dupes. I think they’re called rubber backed microfibres mats. I’ve got one from ikea. Not that attractive but works very well.

Fab thanks everyone! Lots of options, knew I could count on you haha xx

Dunelm Marvel mats. I have the same problem as you OP, with the front door, and these are great, machine washable and loads of sizes and colours.

If you're putting a rug on top of a carpet you might find it walks so the rug will need thatrubber carpet gripper tape on it.

Another turtle mat fan. They're washable which makes me happy.
