What's a Mad Mat?

Why are Mad Mats® the unbeatable choice? What's the secret?
Most indoor-outdoor plastic mats are made from a combination of PP, Polystyrene, and other various plastics. Mad Mats®' plastic is different. First, pure Polystyrene is recycled from milk & soda bottles and other packaging PP, then we combine it with truly state of the art conditioners to produce soft, resillient, fade-proof threads.
Our soft tubular thread (think plastic spaghetti) won't absorb dirt or stains of any kind. Leaves, debris and food spills are easily rinsed away with a garden hose. They are truly carefree! This is a major advantage of Mad Mats®. Most all weather rugs are made of spun poly thread. They hold moisture for days which then gets tracked into the house. Grass, food and dirt seep into the wool-like fibre where they stay until the rug is pulled up -ugh - washed, and dried, and put back in place. YUCK!!
Mad Mats® breathe. They don't absorb water so will not mildew or spoil wooden decks. Walking on Mad Mats® after a rainy night will leave your feet dry enough to walk right back into the house.
You just put it down and that's it!
Maury Letven was the co-founder of Mariachi Imports Inc. and my beloved life partner and friend. While he passed over ten years ago, his friends, family and associates still miss him deeply. Sometimes people travel beside us for part of our journey but affect our lives forever. For all of those close to Maury, this is an enduring fact. He had an unwavering devotion to the truth and often expressed it with wet-your-pants humor. This came in extremely handy when trying to teach ourselves the import business in the late 90’s. Nothing like cracking a few jokes while sorting through half a truckload of broken Mexican pottery! Maury had a massive knowledge bank of baseball, soul and country music, sailing ships, history, and all forms of carpentry and woodworking - which he did professionally before starting Mariachi Imports with me. I am grateful for the 28 years I had the good fortune to share with him. His special combination of old school integrity and humor still help light my way today.

Mad Mats® are intricately woven using multi colored threads in much the same way
as flat weave wool rugs. The result is a warmth and color usually only seen in fine
interior wool rugs.
Beautiful colors and artful stitchery - that's how you know it's a Mad Mat®!
