Personalized Coir Door Mats

Personalized coir door mats put your family name, initial, house number or business name right at the front door. Pick a design, choose a size and colorway, type your text, and see the finished mat on screen before you order. Every mat is synthetic coir with the look of natural coir and none of the shedding, and each one is made to order.

What a Personalized Coir Mat Does at Your Front Door

A door mat has three jobs. It greets people, it tells them they found the right house or business, and it catches dirt before it gets inside. A custom coir doormat does all three, and the name on it does the first two better than any plain mat can.

Natural coir looks great on day one, but it sheds fibers into the entry and breaks down when it stays wet. These mats are made from 100% solution-dyed, UV-stabilized polypropylene with a coir-style surface. They dry quickly compared to natural coco mats and work indoors or outdoors. If you want the classic look in a stock mat or by the foot, see our full coco matting range.

The Mistake: A Name Nobody Can Read From the Walk

The most common letdown with a personalized door mat is not the mat itself. It is the fit between the text, the design and the size. A long family name on a small mat shrinks to fit the space, and a script name loses its punch when it gets too small to read from the sidewalk.

Size matters for the same reason. A mat much narrower than the door looks like an afterthought, even when the design is right. Before you order, measure your door and think about how far away people are when they first see the mat. The live preview shows how your exact text sits on each size.

How the Designs Compare

Every design below uses the same mat. The only choices are the layout, the words and the colors, so pick the one that says what you want at your door.

For Your Home

Heritage is the classic family name design: a double border, "THE" above your name in large letters, and an optional established year below. The name holds up to 12 letters. It is the strongest fit for new homeowners, newlyweds and housewarming gifts where the year means something.

Monogram Crest places your initial inside a double ring, with the family name spelled out below in spaced capitals. It is the pick if you want a monogrammed door mat that still shows the full name. It suits formal entries, brick homes and anyone who likes a crest look.

Laurel Initial sets your initial inside a laurel wreath, with the name below. It is a softer, more traditional take on the initial door mat. It fits farmhouse, colonial and cottage-style entries.

Script Welcome pairs a large script "Welcome" with a second line of up to 22 characters, such as The Smith Family. It gives you a monogram welcome door mat feel without a single initial. It works well for apartments, townhomes and shared front doors.

Script Name shows only your family name in a formal script, framed by a wide border. Nothing else competes with the name. It suits modern entries and families with shorter names, since a script reads best when it has room.

House Number puts a very large number, up to five digits, at the center, with an optional street name. It is built to be read from the walk. It is the right pick for homes where guests and delivery drivers have trouble finding the address.

Coastal Anchor pairs an anchor icon with "THE" and a name of up to 10 letters, plus an optional second line such as Lake House. It is made for lake houses, beach houses, boat owners and second homes near the water.

For Your Business

Business Monogram carries your business name on one or two lines, an optional tagline, and space for your logo. You send the logo artwork after you order. It fits shops, cafes, studios and service businesses that want their brand to greet customers at the door.

Three Things to Check Before You Order

First, size against the door. The mats come in 2' x 3', 3' x 4', 3' x 5' and 4' x 6'. A 2' x 3' suits a single door with a short name or the House Number design. Double doors, wide porches and longer text, like Heritage with an established year, read better at 3' x 5' or 4' x 6'.

Second, how much text the design holds. Each design has a character limit, shown on the product page, and longer text shrinks to fit. If your family name is long, Monogram Crest and Laurel Initial put the initial up front, so the name matters less. If it is short, Script Name and Heritage let it fill the mat.

Third, the colorway against your door and porch. There are four: black with natural lettering, natural with black lettering, black with grey lettering, and grey with black lettering. A natural mat stands out against dark doors and brick. A black mat gives the strongest contrast on a light porch or painted concrete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see my personalized door mat before I order it?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes. As you type your name, number or business name, the preview on the product page draws the mat in your chosen size and colorway. The same design follows you into the cart and checkout.

Because every mat is made to order, you also confirm your spelling with a checkbox before adding it to your cart. Check names, house numbers and years carefully. What you see in the preview is what we make.

What size personalized coir door mat should I get?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Start with your door. For a single front door, a 2' x 3' or 3' x 4' mat looks balanced and works well with short names. For double doors, wide stoops or designs with more text, go to 3' x 5' or 4' x 6'.

Also think about distance. If people first see the mat from the sidewalk or driveway, the larger sizes keep the name easy to read. Try your text on two sizes in the preview and compare.

Can I use a personalized coir mat outdoors?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Yes. The fibers are solution-dyed, UV-stabilized polypropylene, rated 6 for colorfastness to light, so the colors hold up in sun. The mat dries quickly compared to natural coco and has a non-skid backing, which makes it a solid outdoor monogram doormat for a porch or stoop.

After heavy rain, lift the mat and let it dry before setting it back down. That keeps water from sitting underneath on the porch surface.

How do I clean a coir door mat, and how is it covered?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Vacuum it regularly with a motor-driven brush and beater bar. That can remove up to 80% of surface dirt and is the easiest way to keep the mat looking new. At a busy front door, shake it out or vacuum it a few times a week.

Every mat carries a 1-year limited (Mats Inc.) warranty against wear and manufacturing defects when it is cared for this way. At about 5/8 inch tall, it sits low enough for most front doors to swing over it.

What is the difference between a monogrammed door mat and an initial door mat?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

People use the terms loosely, but here is how our designs split. Monogram Crest is the monogrammed door mat: your initial inside a double ring, with the family name below. Laurel Initial is the initial door mat: your initial inside a laurel wreath for a softer, classic look.

Both take the initial from the first letter of the name you type, so you only enter the name once. If you want the name to be the star instead, look at Heritage or Script Name.

How long does a personalized door mat take, and can I return it?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Each mat is made to order and typically ships in about 10 days. Shipping is free.

Because the mat carries your name, personalized mats can't be returned or exchanged. If there is a defect in the mat itself, it is covered under the 1-year limited (Mats Inc.) warranty. That is why the preview and the spelling check matter so much before you order.
