5 reasons why you need a recycled mat
It’s no secret that our recycled mats are hugely popular and frequently seen across campsites all over this amazing country. But have you ever wondered why?
Not only are they perfect when caravanning and camping as an annex mat, but their versatility makes them ideal as a beach mat, picnic mat, play mat for the kids and just an all-around multi-purpose outdoor mat.
Here are 5 reasons why you need a recycled mat for your next camping trip:
1. Brightens up any campsite
Camping mats needn't be dull. Our range of recycled camping mats is a great way to add colour and style to your caravan, camper trailer or tent setup, or as we like to say, ‘add some glamp to your camp’.
2. Double your living space
A recycled mat is an excellent way to double your living space outside your caravan or camper. Up to 6m long and the same width as most awnings (2.4m), it will create a welcoming and comfortable extension of your ‘outdoor living room’.
3. Keep dirt and sand away
A recycled mat ensures a pleasant camping experience, no matter where you are. The tight weave prevents sand and dirt from coming up through the mat, meaning you won't trek it through your van or camper. If you get sand or dirt on the mat, just a simple sweep, and it's gone.
4. Soft and comfortable underfoot
Our mats are made from hollow, straw-like tubes of recycled plastic woven together in a tight weave. The air pockets in each tube create a soft and comfortable surface for you to 'live' on when in the great outdoors. For this same reason, our mats are perfect for the little ones.
5. Easy to clean
It's effortless to keep these mats clean. Simply sweep off with a broom. 'Housework' is even more of a breeze with a leaf blower. For mud or stubborn marks, use a hose and a broom to 'scrub' them away. A household gurney, held at an excessive distance from the mat, is also a great way to deep-clean your mat as required.
Oh wait, we almost forget the best reason – they are made from recycled plastics. So when you buy a recycled mat, you are doing your bit for the environment and preventing up to 6kgs of plastic waste from going to land-fill.
There you have it – the top 5 (actually 6) reasons why you need a recycled mat before your next camping adventure.
