Are turtle mats worth the money?

[Hollycopter]

I'm looking for a new doormat due to my old one's rubber back distingrating due to too much tumbledrying.

I'm looking at this www.turtlemat.co.uk/formal-leaf/ but dithering at spending £50on it unless it's amazing!

How are they after washing? Do they dry fairly quickly?

IME yes, definitely. but I bought in a sale, at least 7 years ago, still as good as new. the black/grey speckled by the front door is especially good.

YES YES YES. The one by my backdoor must be 15 years old and still comes out of the washing machine looking new, comes out only slightly damp and I put it straight back on the floor to dry. Does exactly what it says re drying shoes/paws etc.

I wouldn't even contemplate buying any other doormat. I've been kind of hoping for that last 10 years that this one will wear out so I can have a different colour, but no sign so far.

Brilliant, thanks! I'd better pick one I can happily live with for that long!

I love mine! And they wash and dry brilliantly. I wish I needed another, they're so pleasing.

They're fab. Had one for 9-10 years. I bought a second cheaper one in dunelm mill and it is very good too so you might not have to spend that much.

Yes, had mine ages. They're the only thing my dog can't rip to shreds.

Have 3 end to end under cat flap so no muddy paw prints on cream stone floor. Bought 3 rather than one long one for ease of washing. Do 20 min cycle and they are great.

Achica regularly has them on offer

Ooh, thanks paddle! I'll keep an eye out!

If you sign up for their emails, they have regular sample sales, that's where I got ours from.

Yes, very happy with ours.

Bit of a ridiculous price but hopefully you will find one on offer!

I'm also looking at these John Lewis has the plain ones for about £29 also Amazon had a couple of plain ones for about that.

Thanks for the tip about Achica, paddle, will look.

I'm not desperate I have got current mats in washer at moment so I hope they survive a few more months until I can get a sale one.

Are the latex backed or multi-grip best?

Re backing it depends on the floor. Have a look at their website and it tells you about it.
