It is remarkably thin — thin enough that a shower door closes over it and a robot vacuum rolls straight across — and it still takes water off your feet in about three seconds. Rubber backing underneath keeps the whole run flat.\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\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e40 x 150 cm (15.7 x 59 in)\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\u003eLong runner\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\u003eCharcoal and cream with an olive border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eDiagonal checkerboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eUltra thin — clears shower doors and robot vacuums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eAbsorbency\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eTakes up water in around 3 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eDrying\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eQuick dry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eBacking\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eRubber, non-slip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy thin matters more than plush\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA thick mat in front of a shower enclosure is a daily irritation: the door catches on it, you nudge it out of the way, and it ends up half a metre from where it should be. This one sits almost flush with the floor, so the door swings clear, nobody trips on the edge, and the robot vacuum treats it as floor rather than as an obstacle. You give up a little cushioning and get a mat that stays exactly where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA pattern that earns its place\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheckerboard is having a long moment for good reason — it is graphic without being fussy, and set on the diagonal like this it makes a narrow bathroom look wider. The olive border stops the charcoal and cream from feeling stark, and pulls the whole thing towards warm rather than clinical. At 150 cm it reads as a deliberate runner rather than a mat you happened to have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it soft underfoot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is firm rather than plush — this is a thin, flat mat, and the comfort comes from a dry surface rather than from depth. If you want something to sink into, a tufted or memory foam mat is the better choice; if you want something that never gets in the way, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWipe it or rinse it and leave it to dry flat. Keep it away from heat, which is what hardens a rubber backing and makes it curl at the corners. Make sure the floor underneath is dry when you lay it back down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of this size in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/large-bath-mats\"\u003elarge bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse more in this colour in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/black-bath-mats\"\u003eblack bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Bath mat","offers":[{"title":"type3 \/ 40x150CM","offer_id":55198069784919,"sku":"14:200002984#type3;5:200844313#40x150CM","price":17.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/3733\/3847\/files\/Sa664bdf9748544bcb2f8ef92e4b05b1fD.webp?v=1790699151","url":"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/products\/long-checkerboard-bath-mat","provider":"Bath mat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
