Bath & Personal Care

Bath mats

Cotton bath mats and bamboo platforms without PVC or vinyl backing.

A bath mat needs to absorb splashes or let water drain, then dry between uses.  We favor simple cotton textiles and bamboo designs without vinyl underneath.  Padding and grip layers are included in the material description, and the backing needs to suit your bathroom floor.

American Soft Linen Cotton Bath Rug with Silicone Backing American Soft Linen Cotton Bath Rug with Silicone Backing OEKO-TEXCOTTONSILICONE Why we recommend it: Absorbent cotton pile puts a natural fiber underfoot instead of polyester microfiber, while a silicone backing helps the rug grip the floor.  The backing is clearly identified, so the cotton label doesn't hide a different material underneath.  Keep both the mat and the floor dry, and check for movement before stepping onto it. Materials: cotton pile · silicone backing $21.99★ 4.2 · 1,000+ ratings View on Amazon
Abyss Double Cotton Bath Mat — White, 20 × 31 in Abyss Double Cotton Bath Mat — White, 20 × 31 in COTTON Why we recommend it: Double has the familiar feel of a cotton bath towel in a thicker, 1,200 gsm mat.  Long-loop Egyptian Giza cotton provides the absorbent surface, and the Portuguese-made construction is intended for regular laundering.  It is a practical choice if you want a washable terry mat rather than a thick synthetic rug; spread it out after bathing so both sides can dry.

Abyss Habidecor Reversible Cotton Bath Rug — Volcan, 20 × 31 in Abyss Habidecor Reversible Cotton Bath Rug — Volcan, 20 × 31 in COTTON Why we recommend it: Two usable cotton faces distinguish this rug from a mat with a coated underside: one combines a plush center with a twisted-yarn border, while the reverse changes the placement of those textures.  Made in Portugal from Egyptian Giza cotton, it offers a washable alternative to synthetic pile.  Low-temperature washing and drying help preserve the yarn; skip fabric softener, which can impair absorbency. Materials: 100% Egyptian Giza cotton, two-sided plush and twist weave $230.00 View product

Fog Linen Work Linen-Pile Bath Mat with Cotton Base — Natural Fog Linen Work Linen-Pile Bath Mat with Cotton Base — Natural COTTONLINEN Why we recommend it: Short linen loops give this bath mat a firmer, textured feel than plush synthetic pile.  They are woven onto a cotton base, so it is not an all-linen mat despite some retailer descriptions.  Made in Lithuania, it can be washed and hung by its corner loop to dry between uses—a practical, reusable natural-fiber option for the bathroom floor. Materials: linen loop pile and binding · cotton ground fabric $50.00 View product
