About

The Turtle Mat Company was formed in 1994 when James Turtle discovered the ultimate doormat. With a background in home cleaning, James experienced first hand the damage caused by walked in dirt and moisture to floors and carpets.

James was so amazed the difference this absorbent cotton doormat made that he put his name to it and starting selling Turtle Mats at country fairs. The Turtle Mat was an immediate success and before long a mail-order business developed and retailers started to stock the product. Deciding to take things a little easier James sold the business in 2004 to some friends who were keen and eager to move the business forward.

The business relocated to the Gloucestershire countryside in 2005, allowing for expansion and the development of new products and designs. The first cotton design mats were so well received they attracted the attention of the Royal Horticultural Society and leading artists. Not just useful by the door, Turtle Mats are now widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, boats, caravans, conservatories and utility rooms.

The Turtle team are passionate about providing excellent quality and service and we are always on the look out for products which assist in keeping homes cleaner. In March 2008 we launched the Turtle Vac, a compact yet powerful vacuum, which like Turtle Mats, is keeping homes cleaner for longer.
