Cotton is still the best fibre there is for this job: it takes up a lot of water quickly, it releases it as it dries, and it gets softer with washing rather than flattening off. In plain white or soft grey, with rounded corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eSizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e40 x 60 cm and 60 x 90 cm (15.7 x 23.6 in and 23.6 x 35.4 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e100% cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003ePile height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e2.5 cm (1 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eWhite, grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eRectangle with rounded corners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eFeel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eDense tufted pile, soft underfoot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eWashing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eMachine washable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cotton is worth paying for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMicrofibre and chenille mats feel plush on day one and then mat down; they also hold water at the surface rather than drawing it in, which is why they stay damp. Cotton works the way a towel works — the fibres absorb into themselves, so the surface you stand on dries out between uses instead of staying cold and wet. It also washes properly at a higher temperature than a synthetic mat will tolerate, so it comes out genuinely clean rather than just rinsed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing between the two sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40 x 60 cm is the compact option — it suits a small bathroom, an en-suite, or the space in front of a basin. The 60 x 90 cm is generous: enough to stand on with both feet while you dry off, and long enough to run along the side of a bath. If you only want one mat in the room, take the larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have a non-slip backing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe supplier does not specify one, so we will not claim it. It is a tufted cotton mat, and like any cotton mat it will sit best on a clean, dry floor. On very smooth tile, a thin non-slip rug underlay underneath solves it completely — and has the advantage of coming out for washing while the mat goes in the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I wash it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMachine wash at 40°C with like colours, no fabric softener — softener coats cotton fibres and reduces how much water they can hold. Tumble dry on low or line dry; a quick shake once it is dry lifts the pile back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSee more in this colour in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/white-bath-mats\"\u003ewhite bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the bigger sizes in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/large-bath-mats\"\u003elarge bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\" style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;display:block;width:100%\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Bath mat","offers":[{"title":"grey \/ 50x80cm","offer_id":55198065623383,"sku":"14:1052#grey;183:200007738#50x80cm","price":26.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"grey \/ 40x60cm","offer_id":55198065656151,"sku":"14:1052#grey;183:200007737#40x60cm","price":17.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"white \/ 50x80cm","offer_id":55198065688919,"sku":"14:29#white;183:200007738#50x80cm","price":26.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"white \/ 40x60cm","offer_id":55198065721687,"sku":"14:29#white;183:200007737#40x60cm","price":17.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/3733\/3847\/files\/S9c45c948ca7445b8aab6f86a750d7423N.webp?v=1790699145","url":"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/products\/cotton-bath-mat","provider":"Bath mat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
