Car mat (1) has a base layer (2) of flexible fibrous carpet material. The upper surface of the base layer (2) is partially covered by an overlay (3) to provide an additional durable covering in areas which are most likely to suffer wear and soiling. These areas include a peripheral area (4) which underlies the foot pedals of the vehicle and an inset area (5) which lies within the foot well. The peripheral area (4) may have a pattern of intersecting lines of welding areas which simulate rows of stitching. The inset area (5) includes discrete areas arranged in a pattern to match or compliment the trim pattern of the vehicle. The overlay (3) from which the areas (4 and 5) are formed may comprise one or more sheets of hard-wearing non-porous waterproof vinyl material. The overlay (3) is bonded to the base layer 2 using a hot melt adhesive and high frequency welding (HFW).
