Best non-slip shower and bath mat

Any bathroom mat can feel like the best non-slip shower and bath mat; better to have something there, rather than cold floors and dangerous puddles. Inside or outside your shower stall, a non-slip mat can serve many purposes. Generally made of vinyl, they're affordable and help you stand securely in your bathtub. For a more luxe feel and better drainage, consider wooden mats as well. Since showers and tubs come in all shapes and sizes, we hope our list below can help anyone find the best non-slip mat for their bathroom. 

Gorilla Grip's products are frequently featured on our "best of" lists, but that's because they deserve their spots at the very top. Their non-slip, vinyl extra-large shower and tub mat is no exception. Over twenty shades, most with a choice in opacity, make this mat the perfect fit for anyone's bathroom. It's rectangular, so don't buy it for square shower stalls or round bathing vessels. However, for long deep tubs and walk-in showers, it's ideal—over three hundred suction cups make for a supremely stable stance, and drainage holes discourage mildew.

Safety is just as crucial outside your shower as it is inside. Besides, a cold tile floor is unpleasant to step on. To complete your slip-proof bathroom set, pick up Yimobra's ultra-plush shaggy bathmat. Neutrals, pastels, and saturated secondary shades are on offer, and seven different sizes help make this mat universally appealing. You can also pop it in the washing machine when needed without worrying about the color fading, and its chenille tufts will stay just as fluffy.

Even showers with small dimensions can be treacherously slick, so finding a mat you feel secure on is still essential. The aptly named SlipX Solutions really does sell a solution to slippery stalls, though. Their 23-inch diameter vinyl shower mat helps you stand safely as soapy water flows down your drain. Roughly 3.5 suction cups per inch hold the mat securely to your shower floor, and it's also machine washable. 

Smoothly sanded slats and a stable base make SeaTeak's mat for showers and doors an equally good pick for houseboats and bathrooms alike. Square and triangular shapes are available, the latter of which we focused on; it's exactly what you need for corner or outdoor showers. It's probably the heaviest mat on this list, weighing in at a rather stout 9 pounds, but that's what keeps it stable on level surfaces. 

If you don't like the rubbery feel of most vinyl suction mats and have a small bathroom, then Bambüsi's Moso bamboo mat should find its way into your shopping cart. It's half the weight of the teak mat we chose and about a third of the cost, so it's to be expected that certain features the teak mat has might be missing on this bamboo mat. While it's not mold-treated, it does air-dry quickly when properly rinsed and stored, so don't leave it in your shower or tub 24/7.

Bottom line

Vinyl tends to dominate the shower and bath mat market, which's just fine for most consumers. It's worth looking around, though—as seen above, you've got options. Our best overall choice by Gorilla Grip clings to slip-prone showers and tubs for a secure feel as you wash up. Gorilla Grip also sells this mat in a huge range of colors, so lack of coordination with your existing decor shouldn't be a sticking point.

 A complimentary, wooly bath mat to step out and towel off on is easy to coordinate, thanks to Yinombra's equally broad spectrum of soft, absorbent bath rugs.
