There are so many things to consider when buying car mats. How easy should they be to clean and maintain? Do you want them to be made of the same material as your interior or a different one? Are you looking for something that is odourless, non-toxic, and comfortable? Are you also looking for them to be durable?
To make it easier for you, in this blog, we will review the five most common car floor mats you can buy: fabric floor mats, rubber mats, all-weather vinyl mats, curly mats and 3D floor mats.
1. Fabric Floor Mats
Fabric floor mats are easy to install and remove. They are made of synthetic fibres woven into a mat form, which provides comfort and style to your car interior. However, fabric mats require more maintenance than other types because they get dirty very easily and are hard to maintain. They are also very easily to get mould if not cleaned properly and in time.
Over time, fabric mats lose their shape and may slip around on the floor if not anchored properly to the carpet by hooks or similar devices. Most of the OEM mats sold from car dealers are fabric floor mats.

2. Rubber Car Mats
Rubber mats are inexpensive and durable. They protect the interior of your car from water or mud. The downside with rubber floor mats is that they don't insulate against heat or cold very well. Rubber floor mats can also trap the moisture and in some cases, mold can grow underneath them due to humidity.
Some cheap rubber floor mats are made with toxic rubber which has strong smell and also is bad for your health. These cheap rubber mats also tend to stain easily, so you need to clean them almost every week if you plan to use them as your regular car mats.

3. All Weather Vinyl 3D Mats
All weather vinyl 3D mats are made from synthetic vinyl which is thick and durable. These types of mats are generally made from die cut vinyl or polymers. These mats will not tear easily. They will protect your vehicle's flooring by preventing moisture from getting into the carpeting or in other words, they keep water out of your vehicle's carpeting and allow it to drain through to the floorboards.
However, these kind of mats will not offer much protection for anything that is larger than pebble size. Also, since these are made from polymer materials, they will not soak up any liquid or dirt that comes in contact with it. You will still have to regularly clean or vacuum them to keep them looking nice and clean. They also tend to hold onto a lot of dust and dirt due to their non-skid properties which can make them look dirty quicker than other types of car mats.

In Conclusion
In conclusion, the curly car mats are one of the best vehicle floor mats that you should get. They’re waterproof and they come with a lifetime warranty to back them up. In addition to these, they’re also made to fit your vehicle perfectly, regardless of whether it’s a sedan, SUV or truck. That last detail is important because not all vehicle floor mats are constructed to fit different types of vehicles, so this is a plus point in favour of the curly car floor mats.
