A children's bath mat with a very cheerful whale on it
A big cream whale with pink cheeks and a small smile, drifting over a deep teal sea with coral in orange, pink and yellow growing along the bottom. It's the sort of thing that turns getting out of the bath into less of a negotiation.

The sponge layer is what makes it work
The flannel top takes water off little wet feet straight away, and the sponge underneath takes it in and holds it — which is why the surface still feels dry to stand on after a second child has been through. Press it with a finger and you can feel it give and spring back; that's the same layer doing the cushioning. On cold tile it makes a real difference to how the floor feels at bath time.
Granular base, not a rubber sheet
The underside is covered in small raised grains rather than one solid backing. That matters in a family bathroom: children land on a mat at speed and from an angle, and grip spread across thousands of points holds far better than a sheet that can slide as a whole. It also flexes rather than cracking in the wash. See our other fun bath mats for more designs like this, or the green bath mats for plainer versions in the same tones.
FAQ
Will the whale flatten underfoot?
The design is tufted at different pile heights, so it compresses and lifts again. Shake it out after each wash and skip the tumble dryer — heat is what sets a tufted pile flat permanently.
Is the deep teal practical for a child's bathroom?
Very. A dark ground hides the marks that would show immediately on a pale mat, and the cream whale gives the eye something to look at instead of the wear. Wash it cool and on its own for the first couple of cycles while any loose dye settles.
Washing:
- Machine wash your bath mat at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle, or hand wash, to protect the fibres and keep the colours vibrant.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the non-slip backing.
- Wash your bath mat separately to prevent colour transfer.
Drying:
- Air drying is recommended to preserve the shape and texture of your bath mat.
- If tumble drying is necessary, use a low heat setting only.
- Avoid drying your bath mat in direct sunlight to minimise fading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our bath mats.
Yes. All our bath mats feature a non-slip backing designed to grip securely on tiles, laminate and vinyl flooring. For the best grip, place your non-slip bath mat on a clean, dry floor and check the backing regularly.
Most of our bath mats are machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softener, and air dry to protect the non-slip base. Full details are in the care instructions above.
It depends on your space. A small bath mat (around 40 x 60 cm) suits compact bathrooms and en-suites, a standard mat fits most bathrooms, while a large bath mat or extra large bath mat works best in front of walk-in showers, double sinks or freestanding baths. Check the dimensions listed on each product page.
Bath mats are designed to sit outside the bath or shower to absorb water and protect your floor. If you need a mat for inside the shower or bathtub, choose a rubber shower mat with suction cups instead.
Our absorbent bath mats are made to soak up water fast and dry quickly between uses. To speed up drying, hang your mat over the bath or a towel rail after use and keep your bathroom ventilated.
We recommend washing your bathroom mat once a week, or every two weeks with light use. Regular washing prevents moisture build-up, keeps the fibres fresh and extends the life of your mat.
