8 Best Bath Mats 2024 | UK Interior Designer Reviewed

This mat snatches our top spot based on the fact that it ticks pretty much all the boxes. It's very comforting and soft, and also true that it wouldn't look out of place in any bathroom. As well as a goes-with-everything black, there's also a grey option. 

Plus, it's highly absorbent due to the thick yarns of chenille and it has a PVC back layer that prevents the mat from shifting or skidding. It might not be the fashion statement of the room, but it's never going to let you down. Just ask the Amazon reviewers who have given this 4.6 out of 5 after over 1500 reviews! 

This water-repellent bamboo mat is ideal for those that have a smaller bathroom due to its compact dimensions. We think that the natural look would look lovely in neutral or industrial style bathrooms due to its ability to create a juxtaposition, instantly making the room look interesting and alluring.

Many reviewers are more than happy to sing the praises of this product, with one even stating they'd bought another after their old one finally fell apart after ten years of use. Plus, due to its use of sustainable bamboo, it's likely the production of this mat is much kinder to the environment than other options.

This stunning design is from the Queen of prints herself, Orla Kiely. Kiely cut her teeth in the fashion world crafting hats and handbags, but it's when she started to produce homewares that she began to take off. It's easy to see why with this mat, which is made from top-quality, absorbent, high gsm cotton.

These patterns are the hallmark of the designer, simple and striking, yet they maintain a certain level of playfulness. We think both sides of the reversible design work tremendously well and would be wonderful in almost any home. 

This mat comes in a variety of different, yet equally appealing colours, so you're almost guaranteed that one will look at home in your bathroom. This floor covering is sure to soothe and comfort your bare feet, which is likely to be a small yet significant step in helping you start the day well. 

Furthermore, the mat has a separate 100% latex back layer which makes it extremely slip-resistant. One peculiar point is that the company seem to send this packaged folded over, which many reviewers claim to be trouble as they're unable to work this crease out once it has arrived. 

As with many home textiles from John Lewis & Partners, this is crafted using cotton in line with the BCI. Additionally, owners of this mat applaud the quality, saying that it is maintained wash after wash.

Again, the company have failed to provide any non-slip qualities which we think is a real shame. And, while the super cute turtle design will no doubt appeal to families, this lack of safety and security doesn't make it too child-friendly. 

The material of this shaggy bath rug is not only super thick and comfortable, but also has other properties which should stop the mat from forming any nasty odours. Also, the back is sprayed with a layer of latex that will prevent it from slipping. 

Our dispute, which a few reviewers will attest to, is that it doesn't have the best absorption due to the material used. However, if it's only for a single household or couple and not a large family, we imagine that it should hold up just fine. 

This bath mat is sure to feel glorious after you step out of the shower, even on chilly mornings. Its unique, white marble-effect design oozes a sense of luxury. With a non-slip backing, you can step onto it with confidence, without worrying about it slipping and sliding. 

Coming in the perfect size, this bath mat is also machine washable. It can also be tumble dried, so cleaning it often would be a breeze as you won't need to wait all day for it to dry completely. However, some users report that it does slightly lose its quality with repeated washing and drying.

With its unique look, you can be forgiven for thinking this is a painted palette, which at the end of the day, it kind of is. Although not soft and cosy like fabric mats, this 100% bamboo duckboard will ensure a smooth, solid and sturdy exit from the shower. 

Furthermore, it has eight rubber feet attached to the bottom to secure it to your bathroom floor, ensuring that it will never slip away from under you. It is quite small compared to other products, so you might want to measure the space in your bathroom and see if it will fill it first.
