Leading supplier of coco coir mat designs on the planet?

One of our customers made this comment over the phone last week – “You guys must have the most number of coir doormat designs on the planet!”.

We probably are not the largest on this planet but we sure do have a lot of coir mat design and sizing choices – about 200 designs and sizes ranging from 14″ x 24″ to 4′ x 10′! We are always adding more designs so be sure to check back every few weeks if you don’t find a design that catches your eye.  If you still don’t find one that you like then… I guess you might have to start looking on Mars! ;-)

Here is a few of our coir mats: http://www.cocomatsnmore.com/COCO-MAT-DESIGNS

One of the coir doormat designs that we sell was recently featured in Country Living magazine:

Families in UK told to remove their Welcome Mats as they are Health and Safety Risk

One of our customers found this article and emailed it to us. What a ridiculous ban! Of course you have to be careful to ensure that your doormats don’t cause a tripping hazard, but banning doormats is really pretty silly. What next banning coffee tables as you might trip over that as well in case of a fire?

Here is an excerpt from Telegraph.co.uk:

Council officials claim that if people have to evacuate the properties in the event of a fire they could trip over the obstacles.

Annette Ball, a grandmother who lives at Port Vale Court, said the rules were ridiculous.

She said: “We’ve tried to make our porches homely, but we’re not even allowed to have a picture on the wall.

“We are going to officially appealing against these new rules.”

The fire regulations came in a year ago, but the latest inspection by Stoke City Council left them with a number of concerns.

John Daniels, the council cabinet member for housing and neighbourhood services, defended the decision.

He said: “Fire regulations that apply to places like Port Vale Court are becoming more stringent every year.

“Our most recent inspection of these premises showed that items such as pot plants and carpets in the foyers did not comply so we have asked for these items to be removed to make the building safer.”

Fiona McEvoy, spokesman for council and taxpayer watchdog the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said she could not believe the ban.

She said: “Councils should concern themselves with providing vital public services rather than interfering with the lives of good, honest people.

“Public money should be spent on thins we really need, not bizarre health and safety whims.”

Can you Putt on your Doormat?

Now you can with this unique golf green doormat!  This is probably the coolest doormat that we have at our store.  The ambigram doormat that reads both ‘Come In’ and ‘Go Away’ is pretty cool too, but this mat probably is slightly ahead on the coolness scale.  

We are currently pre-selling these doormats and all orders placed now will be shipped in June.  If the mats arrive sooner, we will ship sooner.   Shaped like one of the greens at Augusta, this doormat is sure to thrill every golfer who owns one.  

If you have a relative, spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend that loves golf, this doormat would make a great gift.
