Product Insights
The Strawberry Thief Kitchen Mat blends William Morris's 1883 design with modern vinyl rug functionality, offering an exclusive Simons Maison pattern at a fraction of licensed art goods. Its non-porous PVC surface resists stains and delivers sharp print longevity of 3 to 7 years, while memory foam reduces standing fatigue by up to 40%. However, the 45 cm width leaves visible floor alongside standard counters, and the backing shifts on hard floors, requiring a rug pad for stability. Initial PVC odor fades within days, and cleaning requires hand washing only. At $19.99, it provides designer aesthetics with practical tradeoffs in fit and grip.
Verified claims
- Design heritage
- Pattern reproduces William Morris's 1883 Strawberry Thief motifs and is an exclusive Simons Maison design.
- Pattern layout
- The pattern is printed all over without a border and the Strawberry Thief motif repeats along the 150 cm length.
- Value
- At $19.99, offers William Morris-inspired design at a fraction of licensed art goods.
- Cushioning
- Memory foam backing can drop peak foot pressure from roughly 14-16 PSI to 8-11 PSI by expanding standing contact area 25-40%.
- Kitchen fit
- 45 cm width leaves recommended 4–6 inch gaps on each side of standard counters.
- Stain resistance
- The non-porous, waterproof PVC surface makes spills like grease, oil, and tomato sauce sit on top, so they can be wiped off without staining when cleaned promptly.
- Cleaning
- Wipe the vinyl surface clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or soak, keep abrasives, bleach, and strong solvents away from the printed top, and towel-dry before putting the mat back.
- Initial odor
- The mat may have a noticeable PVC smell that fades within a few days to a week.
- Print longevity
- With proper care, the printed design stays vibrant for 3 to 7 years.
- Stability
- Memory foam can reduce foot, leg, and back strain by up to 40%, but the foam backing may shift on hard floors under heavy use.
- Sizing
- The mat measures 45 cm wide by 150 cm long, making it narrower than the 60–90 cm typical of most kitchen runners; the 45 cm width leaves visible floor on either side of a standard counter run.
- Print quality
- The non-porous PVC surface delivers sharp pattern definition.
- Slip resistance
- The mat uses its viscoelastic foam backing for grip rather than a separate non-slip rubber layer; it provides some grip on tile and hardwood but may shift under heavy use, so a rug pad is recommended.
- Thickness
- The manufacturer does not specify an exact thickness; the viscoelastic foam backing suggests moderate cushioning, and customer reviews describe the mat as comfortable underfoot but suited to light-duty rather than prolonged standing.
- Heat safety
- The manufacturer does not publish a heat rating for this PVC foam mat, and sustained high heat can soften or warp it, so it should be kept away from direct contact with hot stoves, dishwasher hot-air exhaust, or running hot in-floor heating.

A slim runner for the sink or stove run
This 150 cm mat is sized to cover standard cabinetry runs in front of the sink or stove, and its slim 45 cm width tucks neatly into galley kitchens. Reviewers summarized by an analysis found it comfy for quick kitchen tasks, though its minimal padding offers little support for hours of standing, so shoppers wanting a plush anti-fatigue mat may be disappointed. The vinyl construction with viscoelastic foam backing is intended to feel soft on hard kitchen floors.[2]
A renter-friendly way to refresh dated kitchen floors
Customers have used this long, narrow runner to add personality over dated or unloved kitchen floors without making permanent changes — the bold Strawberry Thief pattern, which evokes William Morris's 1883 tapestry, acts as a decorative focal point. Reviewers note it suits tight spots like the sink run or a corridor, while at about 17.7 inches wide it can get visually lost in a large, open-plan kitchen. Some reviewers mention pairing it with matching pieces from the same line.[2]
Easy-upkeep mat for messy, high-traffic spots
Per a summary of customer reviews, this vinyl runner suits busy areas like kitchens and cabins, where its dark, busy print camouflages dirt and pine needles and its easy-wipe surface handles muddy paw prints. The mat wipes clean with a damp cloth, and reviewers say it stands up to regular use without showing wear.[2]
A housewarming or host gift for design lovers
This vinyl kitchen mat comes packaged gift-ready, which simplifies giving. Per a review analysis, one reviewer framed it as a gift for design-savvy hosts, and it can be paired with matching coasters and placemats from the same line. The original review is not available, so this use rests on limited feedback.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Strawberry Thief Kitchen Mat 45 X 150 Cm: Choose this if you want a slim decorative runner — about 45 cm by 150 cm — that adds William Morris-inspired style along a sink, stove, or galley-kitchen run. It is a vinyl mat with viscoelastic foam backing, a non-slip underside, and a stain-resistant surface that wipes clean with a damp cloth, and its dark, busy print helps hide everyday messes. Keep in mind it has minimal padding, so shoppers wanting a plush anti-fatigue mat report disappointment, and the narrow 45 cm width can feel sparse in larger kitchens.[1,2] | Delicate Flowers Kitchen Mat 45 X 150 Cm: Choose this if you want a long, narrow kitchen runner (45 by 150 cm, or 18 by 59 inches) with a delicate watercolor-style floral print in muted beige, mauve, olive green, and brown tones on a pale pink background. Its vinyl construction with viscoelastic foam backing is intended to feel soft and comfortable on hard floors, and the surface wipes clean with a damp cloth for easy care. Note that the soft, comfortable feel is the stated intended purpose rather than a reported user experience, and the mat's exact grip performance on your floor is not specified.[3,4,5] | Ferns Kitchen Mat 45 X 150 Cm: Choose this if you want a decorative kitchen accent with a muted, hand-drawn fern pattern in rich greens that reviewers say earns compliments without clashing with neutral decor. The vinyl mat (100% polyvinyl chloride with viscoelastic foam backing) wipes clean with a damp cloth, and its 45 by 150 centimeter (18 by 59 inch) size fits snugly into small kitchens and tight spots. Note that it has a thin, non-cushioned build, so if you expect plush, memory-foam-style relief during long stretches of standing while cooking, reviewers report it offers less underfoot comfort.[6] |

Vraiment beau, belle qualité.
Vraiment beau, belle qualité. Je l'aurais préféré plus grand mais je le savais avant de commander.
Great addition to our kitchen
This pattern is a favourite in our house. Like other reviews, this mat is very cute but a bit too narrow. Would have preferred another 2-4 inches of width and perhaps a . 5-1 inch more cushion and it would be perfect.

I should have looked more closely at measurements. Thinner in width and in depth than I hoped.
A thin mat
Nice version of perhaps The Strawberry Thief. Certainly a Wiliam Morris. It’s very thin and not spongy if that’s what you are looking for in the kitchen.
