Is it worth upgrading to laser cut floor mats versus the more generic ones?

My current floor mats are stained from coffee so I want to upgrade them. It looks like laser cut floor mats are a lot more. Is it worth the increased price?

If you means laser cut floor liners like Weathertech, they are very high priced... but they are the best! Would love to have them in my RAV4.2, but only make them for 2006+. I bought a full set in my Sienna and love them.

I own a 2018 Hybrid SE Rav4. I have little kids and they have destroyed the OEM mats with stains so I'd like to replace them with something that can be easily cleaned and is super low maintenance.

I'm surprised by how many replacements specify that they aren't compatible with hybrid models. Does anyone know if the 3D-Maxpiders are any good?

I have WeatherTechs in both my '04 Highlander and '13 Tacoma. Never again.

The Highlander gray units were stained beyond cleaning, normal street use, in the first 6 months. The Tacoma units are black, so they 'look' better.

Both sets are kind of sticky feeling when you remove them to clean.

On the good side they do contain (for the most part) and have decent coverage.

The Highlander is for sale, the WeatherTechs will happily go with them. BTW, I've had a WT cargo mat since the vehicle was new. Fits fine. Different material than the 'new' harder cast laser cuts. Somewhat stained too, but of course it doesn't have constant feet on it.

Plan for the Tacoma is to replace the carpet with FJ style rubber flooring, the way a real truck should be anyway.

So for the RAV, I'm looking! The carpeted OE mats are still OK, but that won't last forever.
