Coir mats are made of the most versatile material called ‘coconut fiber’ which is extracted from the coconut palms after a process with number of tough steps involved. Coconut palms are grown throughout the world’s tropical region and the most commercially produced coir comes from Sri Lanka & India.

The fiber that is extracted from the outer skin of the coconut is called ‘coir’. This extraction of coir fiber is done by following the traditional method of soaking the coconut husks for six months in water and then beaten, washed and dried. Here the husks that are completely ripen coconut produce brown coir and they tend to be very strong and highly resistant to scratches. Whereas on the other hand, husks of the coconut that are unripe comes as white coir or light brown in color. This is usually soft and lesser in strength. Sometimes these fiber classifications are also made according to the length of the fibers grown.
