What is a coir mat?
Coir mat is a product made from fiber from coconut husks. This product is mainly produced in Vietnam, where there are many coconut trees.

That’s why products made from coconut fiber are gaining popularity around the world. This product is also known for its durability and strength.

Different between Coir mat’s machine and Handmade coir mat
Mechanical coir mats have 3–4 machine factories in Vietnam. Machine-made mats may be stronger and better than hand-made mats, but they may be slightly less productive. If one container is all made by machine, it looks like it will have to be mixed with regular mats for quick delivery. However, this may compromise quality and consistency. To prepare for peak season demand, you need to focus on purchasing labor and raw materials.
Handmade coir mats are made by hand. The palm mats are made by Vietnamese craftsmen meticulously weaving each rope one by one and fixing them with a hammer, so they are as strong as machine-made coir mats. And because they are handmade, they can meet special requirements for customer thickness and width. In particular, DAILOCVINA uses a large amount of coconut fiber in its them, making them much stronger and of better quality than other coir mats on the market. The company is known for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
