How to Choose the Best Non-Slip Bath Mat

If you're shopping for a non-slip bath mat, a few features separate a mat that genuinely prevents falls from one that slides around and traps mildew. Here's what to look for.

Bonded traction vs. suction cups

Suction-cup mats rely on a flat, clean surface and lose grip over time. Bonded traction mats adhere to the tub and won't creep when you shift your weight.

Drainage and hygiene

Look for a design that lets water flow underneath rather than pooling. Trapped water is what breeds mildew and that pink film around the edges of cheap mats.

Comfort and barefoot feel

The best mats use a fine texture that grips wet feet without feeling abrasive — important since the bathroom is where you're most often barefoot.
