The Best Shower Mats for 2022 – National Today

Before settling on our final picks for this review, we looked at dozens of alternatives from a range of brands, read reports from textile experts, and took appearance, size, material, traction (or lack thereof), and cleaning instructions into account.

We’ve described some of the qualities we prioritized while making our picks below:

Size

Size is one of the most essential factors to think about when buying a bath mat. The shower mat you choose must be both compact enough to fit perfectly in your bathroom and large enough to be useful rather than just ornamental.

Before you decide on a shower mat, it’ll benefit you to measure your bathroom, as well as your shower and/or bathtub. The shower mat should cover the spot where you step right out of the shower or bath, but it doesn’t need to cover the entire length of the tub.

Design

Safe does not necessarily translate to unappealing. When it comes to purchasing household stuff, it’s normal to appreciate and prefer designs that are more appealing to the eye. We understand this, and so we made an effort to present a wide range of shower mats with various enticing patterns and styles.

Suction

It’s also important to consider which options provide the best suction and prevents slipping when choosing a shower mat. Usually constructed of rubber, thermoplastic, or latex, the sticky backs of shower mats provide great traction and slide resistance.

Additionally, the materials used to make a good shower mat should help prevent water damage to your floors. All of these make suction an important factor to keep in mind when selecting a shower mat.

Material

There are many different materials with which shower mats are manufactured. Each material has its advantages; and some of them keep moisture and germ accumulation to a minimum, much more than others. Some materials also tend to be less toxic, more durable, and more flexible.

As such, it’s important to consider which material will appeal the most to you and suit your needs best, and this is why we considered material when presenting our top picks to you.

Price

It’s important that the shower mat you choose is not high-priced. We understand that most people correlate price with quality, but this isn’t exactly true when it comes to selecting good shower mats.
