Description
Tralbane is an indoor dog doormat with a cheerful scatter of bone shapes across a beige ground, all framed by a deeper taupe border around the edges. The bones come in red, orange, teal, lime green, pink, cream and a soft greyish brown, so the multicoloured mix feels playful without looking busy, while the warm beige ground keeps it calm beside neutral walls and floors. The surface is a 100% nylon pile on a foam latex backing, and the maker describes the mat as hard-wearing. It comes in one size, 50 by 75cm.
It belongs just inside the front or back door, in a hallway, a porch, a utility or a boot room, wherever your dog comes in from a walk with wet or muddy feet. The maker also suggests it beneath food and water bowls, where it catches the spills that would otherwise reach the floor. The beige ground and coloured bones also make it a cheerful welcome for visitors, and a clear hint about who rules the house. For owners, the gain is simple: more of the mess stops at the mat instead of travelling through the home.
The mat is 5mm thick, a slim profile, but measure the gap under your door before you order, because a door that drags across a mat soon rucks it out of place. For care, the maker's guidance is that it is machine washable at 30 degrees, so a muddy week need not mean a new mat. That is the real reason to choose a nylon mat with a foam latex backing for a dog: it goes into the machine rather than out with the rubbish. Before it arrives, check the floor inside your door has room for the full 50 by 75cm, so the mat lies flat without folding up against a skirting board.

Frequently Asked
Is the Tralbane mat only for dog owners?
The scattered bones make it plain who the mat is meant for, but it works just as well as an everyday indoor doormat in any home that likes a bit of colour at the door.
Can the mat be left outside on the doorstep?
We sell this one as an indoor doormat, so keep it just inside the door, in a porch, hallway, utility or boot room, rather than out in the rain.
What is on the back of the mat?
The underside is a foam latex backing, dark grey with a fine square grid texture, and it sits directly beneath the nylon pile.
Do I need an underlay beneath the mat?
The mat comes with its own foam latex backing, so it is ready to lay as it is. On a very smooth floor, a thin underlay cut to size can help keep it in place.
