Shaggy Semicircular Stair Mats – Soft, Non-Slip, Sound-Insulating Step Covers

For staircases in homes with children, elderly residents, or simply anyone who prefers a softer, quieter step, these shaggy semicircular stair mats offer a genuinely different proposition from hard sisal or rubber alternatives. The deep shaggy polyester pile cushions each footstep, dramatically reduces the hollow clatter of feet on bare wooden stairs, and creates a luxuriously soft staircase experience that standard stair carpet rarely equals. The non-slip backing holds each mat securely in position on any stair tread type. Available from Rubber Matting Direct with free UK delivery.

Buying Guide

Shaggy stair mats are the ideal choice when comfort, softness, and sound reduction are the primary objectives. If grip on very steep or slippery stairs is the main concern, our sisal or rubber stair mat options provide slightly more aggressive surface grip. For a balance of all factors, consider alternating shaggy mats on the tread with a sisal mat on the landing for a coordinated mixed-material approach. Available in multiple colours to suit your staircase and hallway scheme.

Installation & Care

Install: Place on stair tread. The non-slip backing holds without adhesive for most staircase surfaces. For high-traffic stairs, secure the front edge of each mat with a small strip of double-sided carpet tape for additional security.

Care: Vacuum along the pile direction. Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Air dry before replacing. Fluff pile by hand after drying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix shaggy mats with sisal mats on the same staircase?

Yes — a coordinated mix of shaggy tread mats and a sisal landing mat (or vice versa) can create an interesting layered look. Ensure the colour tones coordinate for a cohesive effect.

Do shaggy stair mats stay in place on polished wood stairs?

The non-slip backing provides good adhesion on most wood finishes. On very highly polished or waxed stairs, the backing grip is reduced. A small strip of double-sided carpet tape at the front of each step provides additional security.
