Super Absorbent Bath Mat

Most bath mats fail in the same way. They soak up water on the first step out of the shower and then stay damp for the rest of the day. This one is built around a high absorbency fibre that pulls water off your feet quickly and then releases it back into the air, so the mat is dry again well before the next person needs it.

The underside is a full grip backing that holds against tile and stone without curling at the corners. That is a safety point as much as a comfort one, since a mat that slides on a wet bathroom floor is a genuine hazard. The pile itself is dense and soft underfoot, deep enough to feel like a proper mat rather than a towel laid on the floor.

Three sizes and four patterns are available, so the mat can be matched to the room instead of merely tolerated in it. The smallest suits a shower step or a cloakroom, the middle size a standard bathroom, and the largest a double basin or a wet room threshold. Machine washable at a cool temperature. Do not tumble dry on high heat. Wash the mat separately from towels for the first two cycles so loose fibre does not transfer.
