The coco mats are great!  They look super and have a good heavy weight.

 AUTO ANYTHING, mmmm plush rubber backed, mmmm not an embarrassment in a Mercedes,    Gee, Coco Mats are in an awful lot of our members Mercedes on top of their square weave carpet sets.,  Must be a lot of tacky people around this site by all accounts,  how embarrassing for all of us that think they are excellent and happen to like them.  I love them, I must just be one of the tacky ones.

Tacky or not, Cocomats are very practical especially in wet or muddy areas.

Any loose sand or dirt on the shoe sole gets rubbed off by the surface of the Cocomat. When dry, the dirt works its way down to the top of the rubber layer lining the bottom of the Cocomat (Dirt does not get on the carpet.)

Just take the Cocomat out, turn it over, spank it a couple of times, and the dirt falls out. Cocomat goes back in and the carpets stay clean.

I love my tacky Cocomats...and I love not having to shake out and clean the carpets.

You should probably have them custom made using square-weave material from GAHH. Otherwise you're stuck with either "coco-tacky" or plush-tacky.

Actually, the Coco-Mat folks also offer a sisal mat that ALMOST looks like square weave.  Tosh posted a picture on April 2008 in this topic:  http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=8176.15
