Best Bathroom Rugs

Your bathroom is your private wellness sanctuary where you take time to cleanse and groom yourself and relax.

Many elements make a bathroom more comfortable, and one such item is a good bathroom rug.

The bathroom rug will not only add to your bathroom’s comfort and aesthetic quality but is also vital for your safety to prevent slips.

A good bathroom rug will be soft and comfortable, with absorbent materials and a non-slip bottom to keep the rug safely in place.


The Bath Mat and the Bath Rug

Most bathrooms have hard tile-covered floors that can become quite slippery and dangerous when wet. Not to mention that they can be cold and uncomfortable, and hard underneath your feet.

  • The Bathroom Mat – The bathroom mat is a highly functional bathroom accessory mainly used for its non-slip properties and absorbency to keep our bathroom more hygenic and clean. The bathroom mat will be thicker in constriction with a non-slip base and quick-drying, absorbing materials. Bathroom mats are generally mostly available in small rectangular options around 20 by 30 cm in size, as opposed to bathroom rugs offering more shape and size options. Bathroom mats can consist of microfiber and memory foam; there are also natural Bamboo and wood options, plastic, and cotton options.
  • The Bathroom Rug – The bathroom rug is a much thinner version of a bathroom mat. A bathroom rug is ideally created for its aesthetic properties; it can be used anywhere in your bathroom as decoration to complement the style and colors of your bathroom. Bathroom rugs come in all shapes and sizes and offer more aesthetic properties than comfort in general; there are more comfortable models, depending on the materials they are constructed of. Most bathroom rugs will consist of Microfiber, chenille, or nylon, which is synthetic and popular for its absorbency. Cotton and Bamboo may be used as natural alternatives.

Caring for Bathroom Mats and Rugs

The bathroom rug, compared to the bathroom mat, is much similar but more decorative, bathroom mats are more suitable for small spaces, and bathroom rugs offer larger options for larger bathrooms.

Most bathroom mats, such as Cotton and Microfiber or chenille, can be machine washed and quickly dried.

You can hang your bathroom mats or rugs to dry, and some can be placed in the dryer.

However, memory foam models and silicone models, as well as wood models, can only be cleaned by hand


Features of a Good Bathroom Rug

Bathroom Rugs

  • Shape and Size – Luckily, with bathroom rugs, you have a much wider choice in shape and size. You will need to ensure that the size is comfortable and functional yet the right size to fit in your bathroom. The shape is your preference, and the styles and colors should complement your bathroom décor and style.
  • Non-Slip Backing – Make sure that your bathroom rug has an anti-skid or non-slip backing that will grip the floor tiles to prevent you from slipping. Most rugs will have rubber, latex, or thermoplastic grips on the bottom.
  • Materials – Polyester or Microfiber bathroom rugs are usually the best choices because they dry super-fast and have such a soft and luxurious feel. However, Cotton is much more absorbent and durable. Likewise, nylon and other fabrics can be used to make bathroom rugs.
  • Care and Maintenance – Consider a bathroom rug that is easy to care for and maintain. Most cotton and microfiber options can be machine-washed and dried in a dryer, making them more convenient.
