Product Insights
Simons Maison's Embossed Oval Doormat, an exclusive Canadian design rare in the budget tier, uses stiff coir bristles to scrape mud and wick moisture while hiding dirt in its deep pile; lignin provides water and UV resistance for 1–3 years of abrasive use. The front is 100% coir, a compostable coconut industry byproduct, backed with non-slip PVC that leaves no residue. However, it requires sheltered placement—on a covered porch, mudroom, or entry hall—and cannot withstand full outdoor exposure. Care involves vacuuming before brushing and drying in shade; initial loose fibers are normal. This mat continues a 150-year tradition of natural coir floor coverings.

Deep Research
Care tips to extend the mat's life
- A well-made coir mat like this one typically delivers 1 to 3 years of service under normal residential use, which frames the $13–$18 price as a seasonal-to-mid-term investment rather than a throwaway item.
- When the mat gets soaked, stand it upright in a breezy, shaded spot to dry — direct sun bakes the coir and dulls the pattern, while airflow alone restores the mat without accelerating fibre degradation.
- To lift dried mud after vacuuming, use a stiff nylon brush with light pressure and short strokes — always vacuum first, because brushing alone grinds grit deeper and shortens the mat’s effective life.
- Coir fibres contain lignin, a natural polymer that provides water resistance and UV protection — so the mat is chemically built to handle sun and moisture better than synthetic alternatives, provided it isn’t left in constant saturation.
Why coconut coir is used for doormats
- The thick woven-coir construction allows dried mud and sand to sink deep into the mat where it’s invisible from the surface, so the mat appears cleaner longer between maintenance—a practical benefit for high-traffic mudrooms.
- Coir matting was the dominant entrance-floor material exported from India to Britain in the 19th century—this oval mat inherits a 150-year-old material tradition that proved itself in both colonial homes and industrial doorways for its dirt-stopping performance.
- Coir fibers are naturally moisture-wicking—they pull dampness off shoe soles while the fibrous surface mechanically scrubs soil from treads, which is why a coir mat performs as a dry-floor checkpoint rather than just a passive wiper.
- The mat is made from brown coir—the thick, lignin-rich fiber harvested from fully ripened coconuts—which gives it the abrasive rigidity to scrape embedded mud and gravel out of deep boot treads, a property that sets natural coir apart from softer synthetic alternatives.
- Because coir is a waste byproduct of the coconut food industry, processed without chemical treatments, and fully compostable at end of life, choosing this mat supports circular-use agriculture over petroleum-based synthetic carpeting.
How it compares to other under-$20 doormats
- The oval outline — a shape uncommon among budget coir doormats, where rectangular is the default — gives the Simons mat immediate design distinction without sacrificing the standard 40 x 70 cm coverage.
- At CAD 18 regular (or $12.99 on sale) against JYSK’s $13.99 coir mats, the Simons doormat trades any price advantage for an exclusive embossed pattern — it’s a style-driven buy within the budget tier where function is otherwise equal.
- The care directive to ‘keep it sheltered from bad weather’ contrasts with JYSK’s ‘weather-resistant construction’ claim on its coir mats, meaning the Simons mat is best used in covered porches or entry halls, whereas JYSK buyers can feel more confident leaving the mat fully exposed to rain and sun.
- The embossed oval doormat is a Simons Maison original designed in Canada, featuring curvy textured lines — a marked departure from the mass-produced script motifs (BONJOUR) and farmhouse silhouettes (THE HERD) found at the same price on JYSK’s CAD 13.99 coir mats.
- The coconut coir pile and non-slip PVC backing are standard across this price tier — JYSK’s coir mats also use 100% coconut fibre with PVC — so dirt-scraping performance and floor grip are effectively identical; the choice comes down to the embossed oval pattern versus printed designs.

Q&A
4 answered- How much does this mat shed initially? The listing mentions light unravelling over time, but do new mats shed fibers heavily for the first few weeks?
- The product description notes that a light unravelling of the fibres over time is normal, but it does not indicate heavy initial shedding. New mats may release some loose fibres, but significant shedding is not expected.
- Can this mat be used in fully exposed outdoor areas (rain, sun) or is it strictly for sheltered/indoor use?
- This mat should be used in sheltered areas. The product advises keeping it sheltered from bad weather to prolong its life, so it is not suitable for fully exposed outdoor conditions like direct rain or sun.
- Does the PVC backing leave marks or residue on hardwood or tile floors over time?
- The PVC backing is designed to be non-slip, and there are no reports of it leaving marks or residue on floors. However, we recommend testing on a small area if you have delicate flooring, as prolonged use on certain surfaces may vary.
- Can the mat be cleaned with a hose or power washer, or is a damp cloth the only recommended method?
- The only recommended cleaning method is wiping with a damp cloth. The product does not mention hosing or power washing, and coconut fibre can be damaged by high-pressure water, so we advise against those methods.
