All-Weather Floor Mats – WeatherTech or Honda?

I wanted to share my floor mat insights so you can save yourself some money and avoid having an extra set of floor mats.

I initially purchased WeatherTech All-Weather Floor Mats (through CarID) when I bought the 2020 CR-V Hybrid. The mats work great and do the job. I broke down and recently purchased the Honda All-Season High Wall Floor Mats (through Bernardi) because I realized that wanted full floor coverage at the back seat. The WeatherTech mats only covers where the floor depresses, which makes sense and I figured that would be fine. However, my children run across the back seat, and occasionally, the middle seat gets occupied. With no protection at the floor bump in the middle, it was getting dirty.

The only floor mats I could find that provide full back seat floor coverage are the Honda manufactured All-Season Floor Mats, and you have to buy the entire set. So I have full coverage now, but I also have two sets! I figured I could share some of the differences between the two sets since I have them both to help others decide.

Honda “High Wall” are definitely significant and provide more side wall coverage than WeatherTech. However, I am not sure if the high walls are really necessary.
Honda mats provide better overall floor coverage and contour nicely. In the pictures, you’ll see that the WeatherTech back seat floor mats are shorter.
Honda brand mats are a stiffer rubber
WeatherTech has better foot traction, just given the tread design. I’m still deciding on whether to swap out the front seat floor mats back to WeatherTech for this reason, especially for the driver’s seat. I prefer having my feet being more secure.
