Which kind of mat?
A mat has one job: stop the dirt at the door. The right one depends on which door, and whether it needs to look nice or just work hard.

Non-slip underlay so nothing movesWhich mat where
One outside, one inside
The trick is two mats: a rubber or coir scraper on the step outside to take the grit off, and a softer absorbent mat just inside to take the wet. A washable mat inside means the muddy one goes in the machine, not the bin.
Measure the space first. Most doormats are 75 x 50cm or 60 x 40cm, and the door needs to clear it, so check the gap under the door before you buy a thick coir one.
