An accessory floor mat designed to overlie and protect a portion of the original carpeted floor of an automobile is preformed into a tray-like configuration which also conforms to the contours of the floor portion. The mat snugly fits into the carpeted floor well on a side of the vehicle and thereby resists mat sliding. The stiffness of the mat is such that it maintains its original position in the vehicle under foot exerted lateral forces and also retains its shape while being removed for cleaning. Mat stiffness is defined in terms of forced-to-bend values at specified deflection angles in both a machine direction and a cross direction, as measured in accordance with ASTM D747 on a Tinius Olsen stiffness tester.
