The first is grip: a flat mat and a wet foot is a poor combination, while a surface broken up into hundreds of small raised points gives the sole something to hold onto. The second is simply that it feels good underfoot — standing on it while the shower runs is somewhere between a foot rub and a very firm mat. The textured panel in the middle is a little coarser than the rest, so you can work the soles of your feet against it without moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the suction cups to hold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuction cups only work on a smooth, clean, wet surface, and this is where most people go wrong. Rinse the bath first so there is no soap film, wet both the bath and the underside of the mat, lay it down and press firmly across the whole surface — palm flat, working outwards from the middle. On a textured or non-slip-finish bath the cups will not hold properly; that is the surface, not the mat. Lift it out after your bath and hang it to dry, and it will keep its suction for far longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on the bathroom floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is not designed for that. The suction cups need a smooth, non-porous surface to hold, and the drainage holes let water straight through to whatever is underneath. Keep this one inside the bath or the shower tray, and use an absorbent mat on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the little metal beads for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey are smooth metal inserts set flush into the centre of some of the discs, and they give a firmer, cooler point of contact than the PVC around them. They are decorative and tactile — nothing more than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of the range in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/non-slip-bath-mats\"\u003enon slip bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/round-bath-mats\"\u003eround bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e if you like the softer shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"offer-template-0\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"My Store 8","offers":[{"title":"40 x 70cm","offer_id":55104111542615,"sku":"14:173#Brown","price":7070.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/3733\/3847\/files\/Sde96d6821cb14b35ad5435dc56b5157e8.webp?v=1790080341","url":"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/products\/beige-massage-bath-mat","provider":"Bath mat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
