Summary
The best mat for catching scattered litter before it spreads across your floors. Coil design traps fine granules better than flat or ribbed alternatives, and it's comfortable underfoot for cats.
Made from whole kernel US-grown corn, it clumps nearly as well as clay and produces minimal dust. The go-to pick for owners who want a flushable, biodegradable option.
Pros
- Coil design traps fine-grain litter better than ribbed or flat mats
- Soft enough that cats don't avoid stepping on it
- Works with all litter types including clay and corn
- Easy to shake out or vacuum clean
- Flushable and biodegradable — made from whole kernel corn
- Strong clumps that hold together well during scooping
- Very low dust production in testing
- A 27 lb bag lasts ~5 weeks even in a 4-cat household per Reddit users
Cons
- Not ideal for sticky messes like vomit — silicone mats clean easier for that
- Coils can be harder to deep-clean than flat mats
- Doesn't eliminate tracking entirely, just reduces it
- Odor control not as strong as clay litter
- More expensive per pound than clay options
- Corn base may attract insects in some climates
Our take
No litter is perfect at staying in the box — the Gorilla Grip mat is the cheapest, most effective fix for tracking. Buy it alongside whatever litter you choose.
World's Best is the litter I'd recommend to anyone who wants to go natural without sacrificing clumping performance. The odor control isn't quite clay-level, but for 4 cats it genuinely lasts — Reddit owners with big households swear by it.
