Ring UltraShield 6000

Best price: £29.95 Type: Carpet/rubber

One of the most expensive sets on test, but we expected more from Ring, as it was fairly basic. There are only a couple of channels for cutting, so the mats didn’t fit too well, but the weight kept them secure and stopped them moving around. While the rubber on all four mats was easy to clean, the carpet didn’t stand up to the rest when it came to working in grime and then removing it.
