A slick tub floor can turn an ordinary shower into a balance test, especially in a busy family bathroom. The right mat adds a stable, textured surface while letting water drain away, but size, adhesion, and tub finish matter. These options cover compact showers, long tubs, hair-catching needs, and textured foot-care surfaces.
The Leading Options At A Glance

A Breakdown Of The Leading Choices
The LuxurYou mat combines a 16-by-25-inch footprint with a textured top and suction-cup base. Its open drainage areas let water move through rather than sit on the surface, which makes it a practical fit for frequent showers on smooth tubs.
You get a double-layer construction made from TPE and PP, plus a colorful pattern for a coordinated bathroom. The honest catch is placement: suction adhesion needs a smooth, untextured tub floor, so inspect that detail before ordering.
Positive Takeaways
- Hundreds of open drainage areas support faster water circulation.
- Suction cups create multiple contact points on smooth tubs.
- The raised texture adds grip and a mild foot-scrubbing feel.
- Its double-layer format provides coverage without spanning the whole tub.
Things To Consider
- The suction base is not suited to textured or tiled tub surfaces.
- At 16 by 25 inches, it covers less length than the OTHWAY and 40-inch Hargiis options.
Core Details
Who It Suits Best
This mat suits people with smooth tubs who want drainage-focused construction in a compact, colorful format.
Where Another Pick Suits Better
The OTHWAY 39 x 17 Inch Tub Mat with Hair Catcher, Grey suits longer tubs where hair capture and wider coverage matter.
The OTHWAY mat covers a generous 39 by 17 inches, giving you room to move along a standard long tub. A detachable hair catcher adds a practical layer of bathroom maintenance, while 604 large drainage openings help water leave the mat more quickly.
Its 276 suction cups make it a strong choice for smooth, non-textured tiles, and the recyclable TPE construction is odorless. Compared with the more compact LuxurYou option, this is the better fit when length and hair collection lead your priorities.
The Good Stuff
- The removable catcher gathers loose shower hair before it reaches the drain.
- Its long rectangular shape covers more of a typical tub floor.
- Large oval openings promote drainage across the full surface.
- The mat is machine washable for simpler routine cleaning.
- Numerous suction cups create a firm connection with smooth tile.
Trade Offs
- Its long dimensions may crowd a compact shower enclosure.
- The suction base works only on completely smooth, non-textured tile.
- The detachable catcher may need time to regain its shape after handling.
Feature Rundown
Right Fit For
This mat suits long-tub households that want broad coverage, drainage, and a detachable hair catcher.
Consider Something Else When
The Hargiis Non-Slip Shower and Bathtub Mat with Soft PVC Loofah Surface, Grey 40 x 16 Inch suits people who prioritize a loofah-like surface over hair collection.
A square footprint can make more sense in a walk-in shower or a tub that needs a centered landing area. This 24-by-24-inch Hargiis mat uses PVC with a checkered underside, giving you a stable surface that also works as a foot scrubber.
Its quick-drying design and neutral gray color suit bathrooms, pool areas, guest rooms, and other shared wet spaces. Unlike the suction-cup models here, its patterned backing gives you a different approach to contact with the floor.
Where It Delivers
- The square shape works neatly in centered shower spaces.
- Its textured top adds foot-scrubbing contact during showers.
- PVC construction supports a practical, easy-to-place bath accessory.
- The restrained gray finish works across many bathroom styles.
Points To Note
- The square dimensions may leave gaps in a long rectangular tub.
- Its coverage is smaller than the OTHWAY and 40-inch Hargiis options.
Made For
This mat suits people with square showers or compact tubs who want a foot-scrubbing surface without a long profile.
A Better Fit Elsewhere
The Hargiis Non Slip Bathtub Mat, Quick Drying Foot Scrubber Mat, Grey 24 x 16 Inch suits households that prefer a narrow rectangle over a square.
The 24-by-16-inch rectangle offers a more conventional tub-mat shape than Hargiis’s square 24-by-24-inch option. Its PVC construction and plaid-pattern underside provide a stable base, while the raised top adds a foot-scrubbing texture.
You may find this format especially useful in a narrower shower alcove where a square mat takes up too much width. The quick-drying construction and gray finish keep it focused on practical bathroom use rather than decorative effects.
Where It Excels
- The rectangular shape fits narrow tubs and shower alcoves more readily.
- A patterned underside adds contact across the tub floor.
- Its raised surface provides texture for everyday foot scrubbing.
- Quick-drying PVC suits frequently used bathroom spaces.
Small Caveats
- Its 24-inch length is shorter than the 39-inch OTHWAY and 40-inch Hargiis options.
- The mat offers no detachable hair-catching component.
The Main Details
Best Suited To
This mat suits people with narrow tubs or compact showers who want textured contact and a moderate footprint.
Skip It When
The OTHWAY 39 x 17 Inch Tub Mat with Hair Catcher, Grey is the better option for long tubs where hair collection matters.
The WRISIN mat focuses on direct contact with the tub through 241 vacuum suction cups. Its raised diamond-and-hexagon texture adds visual depth and a distinct grip pattern, so you get both a decorative surface and a functional place for your feet.
Natural rubber gives this option a different material profile from the TPE and PVC mats in the roundup. The listed construction also resists stains and odors, which is useful in a bathroom where the mat receives frequent wet contact.
Standout Benefits
- 241 suction cups distribute contact across the underside.
- The three-dimensional texture adds a pronounced foothold.
- Natural rubber differs from the plastic-focused alternatives.
- Its surface resists visible staining and lingering odors.
Details To Watch
- Vacuum cups need a smooth tub floor to form a dependable seal.
- The design lacks the detachable hair catcher offered by the OTHWAY mat.
Built With In Mind
This mat suits people who want pronounced surface texture and numerous suction contact points on a smooth tub.
Another Choice May Suit
The LuxurYou Double-Layered Shower Floor Mat with Suction Cups, Rainbow suits households that prioritize open drainage over a sculptural top texture.
At 40 by 16 inches, this Hargiis mat reaches farther along a standard tub than the 24-inch models. Its soft PVC loofah-style surface gives you a textured place to scrub your feet, while the quick-drying construction suits busy showers and other wet areas.
The gray finish stays visually restrained, and the listing says the mat will not peel from the tub surface. Compared with the OTHWAY, you trade the detachable hair catcher for a longer, more scrub-focused profile.
What Stands Out
- The 40-inch length covers a substantial section of a standard tub.
- A loofah-like PVC texture creates a more tactile foot-care surface.
- Quick drying helps reduce standing moisture after showers.
- Easy-cleaning construction suits frequently wet spaces.
- Gray coloring blends easily with common bathroom fittings.
Where It May Fall Short
- Its 16-inch width is narrower than the OTHWAY’s 17-inch width.
- There is no separate hair-catching accessory for shower debris.

What to Check Before Buying a Bath Mat
Start With the Tub Surface
Suction-cup designs need a smooth, untextured floor to create their seal. The LuxurYou, OTHWAY, and WRISIN mats use that approach, so textured tile or a molded tub base can limit adhesion. Patterned-back PVC options may offer a more practical choice for those surfaces.
Measure Coverage and Drainage
You need enough length to create a comfortable standing area, but extra material can crowd compact showers. The 39-by-17-inch OTHWAY and 40-by-16-inch Hargiis options cover long tubs, while the 24-inch Hargiis models suit smaller spaces. Open drainage areas help keep water moving across the mat.
Consider Texture and Care
A raised or loofah-like surface adds a foot-scrubbing element, while detachable hardware makes hair collection more convenient. Machine washability also changes the ownership routine. Match the surface texture, dimensions, and care routine to the way your household actually uses the tub.
Two Details That Change the Choice
Mistakes Worth Dodging
The biggest mistake is assuming every suction mat will grip a textured tub floor. Measure the tub and compare it with the mat before ordering, and leave enough space for water to drain. Another common error is buying a long mat for a compact shower, where it may bunch against the walls.
What Separates Premium From Basic
Higher-cost mats often add larger drainage systems, more suction cups, detachable hair catchers, or specialized textures. Those details help only when they match your tub and routine. A basic rectangular PVC mat can make more sense for a narrow shower, while a long model earns its place in a spacious tub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do suction cup bath mats work on textured tubs?
Suction cup mats work best on smooth, untextured tub floors and smooth tile. Textured surfaces can interrupt the seal and reduce the mat’s grip.
Which OTHWAY mat is best for a long tub?
The OTHWAY 39 x 17 Inch Tub Mat with Hair Catcher, Grey provides extended rectangular coverage for most long tubs. It also adds 604 drainage openings and a detachable hair catcher.
Are the Hargiis bath mats machine washable?
The listed Hargiis options emphasize quick drying, PVC construction, and foot-scrubbing surfaces. Follow the care instructions on the product listing before placing a mat in a washing machine.
What material is the WRISIN bath mat made from?
The WRISIN mat is made from natural rubber rather than PVC, TPE, BPA, EVA, or latex. Its underside uses 241 vacuum suction cups for contact with a smooth tub floor.
Which option covers the longest section of tub?
The Hargiis Non-Slip Shower and Bathtub Mat with Soft PVC Loofah Surface, Grey 40 x 16 Inch extends 40 inches lengthwise. The OTHWAY model is slightly wider at 17 inches, with a length of 39 inches.
Closing Remarks
The best anti slip bath mat depends on your tub’s finish and the space you need to cover. Smooth tubs favor the suction-cup models, while compact showers call for the 24-inch Hargiis options, and long baths make the 39- or 40-inch choices more practical. Match the footprint, drainage, and surface texture to your bathroom before deciding.
