Buying a shower mat for your bathroom is a smart idea whether you have a bathtub or shower tray. A shower mat can prevent you from slipping and hurting yourself since, essentially, they add friction to your floor.
How do they work? Shower mats stick to your surface with the use of suction cups and are usually large to cover a big area. They also feature drainage holes to allow water to move through them. The best shower mat you can buy is the GORILLA GRIP original patented bath, shower, and tub mat. It's large, antibacterial, features a total of 324 suction cups, and comes in 22 color options. See more of our top picks below.
