Chicken shack Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Recieved two bath mats today that I bought on ebay which were cheeper that the turtle site. May be tempted with the specials Turtle have. You omleteers are are a bad influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks for this. Three mats just fell into my basket!! You're welcome. I bought the triple auricula for my conservatory....just the ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Are the patterned mats made of the same stuff as the doorstep sized ones? Looks like they have a different backing according to the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 As far as i could tell the latex ones are for wooden floors and the multi grip for carpet. Have just orderd one from ebay for the new house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks Claire I have succumbed and bought two small ones for myself and two for mum. They are latex backed so will sit nicely on the tiles by the back door and in the front porch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 OK, having said I could only afford one, somehow two mats slipped into the basket ... the nice eBay seller sent them within two days, but I had to go and collect from the Post Office this morning. They are amazingly light and soft ... the old mat which I've just put in the bin feels like a bit of cardboard in comparison. I bought the grip backing on one by mistake but I don't think it will matter, still seems to be sticking quite well to my tiled floor. I just hope you lot are right! The one by the back door (classic stripe, since you ask) will be put to the test this morning as it's drizzling nicely here and I'll be gardening as I let the chooks out to play.

Charlottechicken Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Mine came the other day too I scrubbed the porch floor before I put it down, and it looks very nice. Even with the p+p it they were only £11.71 each, and I think I've wasted more than that on cheap doormats over the past 16 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Was that in the Turtlemats sale? Mine were considerably more than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The designer ones are more than the stripey,dotty or plain ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Was that in the Turtlemats sale? Mine were considerably more than that! Yes, but I bought the marl ones. I couldn't face wiping mucky shoes on those lovely patterns! Oh, and they were cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Resurrecting this thread as I am on the lookout for a Turtle mat (or two) I missed their recent sale which I am annoyed about so was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that has the larger mats with the multigrip backing at a bit of a cheaper price.

bluekarin Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Aha! Just had an email about a sample sale and have just ordered a spice and blue stripe turtle mat for £20 plus p&p As I keep missing out on the sales, I thought I'd mention it on here after I ordered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The only problem with Turtle mats is they last a long time so there's no excuse to buy more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm not listening! (I don't need any more turtle mats, I don't need any more turtle mats, I don't need any more turtle mats ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The only problem with Turtle mats is they last a long time so there's no excuse to buy more That's a good thing I will give this one a whirl and if it's as amazing as I am lead to believe ( little does this mat know it has a lot to prove, poor thing ) I shall no doubt be purchasing another Well, I have a back door that is in desperate need of a nice looking mat.

Olly Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've just re-read this thread, and realise that it's nearly four years since I bought my mats. They still perform brilliantly and wash beautifully I think it's time I invested in a larger one for the kitchen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The power of Omlet. Back in 2010, I resisted the temptation to buy a Turtle Mat but having had a new kitchen and floor laid in November I am getting cross with muddy footprints so I have given into temptation and purchased one. Ordered it yesterday and it has come today. It looks lovely but not yet been used. Thank you Omletteers Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well I am astonished to look back and see that I bought my Turtle mats in 2011 - they are still going well, and were definitely a good investment. You won't be disappointed, Chrissie - I probably don't (ahem) wash mine as frequently as it deserves, but they come out looking as good as new.

Grandmashazzie Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Oh I wonder were they more robust in past? I bought two,two years ago and one is ready for the bin. OH left a mop which had bleach on it sitting on top of one. It obviously destroyed the colour but also dissolved the fabric. Mine are washed frequently as OH insists on wiping his mucky shoes on the one inside the kitchen rather than on the rubber mats outside I definitely can’t teach that old dog new tricks. The colour and pattern are now very faint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Olly I am pleased to hear your mat is lasting well. As they are expensive compared to other mats I am hoping it will last for a few years. Sorry to hear that yours has not lasted very well G. So far I'm very pleased with mine and it will look lovely when the utility is done at the end of the month. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
