Best Anti Slip Mats

Anti Slip Mats for the Bathroom and Shower

The bathroom is where most household floor injuries happen. Wet tiles, a slick bath tub base, and stepping out of the shower onto a bare floor are all situations where a good mat makes a real difference. We carry mats designed specifically for these wet conditions, with backing that holds firm even when the surface is damp.

Non Slip Shower Mats

Non slip shower mats sit on the floor of the shower recess and give your feet a secure, textured surface to stand on. Most have suction cup bases that attach directly to the shower floor. Look for a mat that covers the area where you stand and step out, with drainage holes to let water flow through freely.

Good to know: rinse and hang the mat to dry after each shower. This keeps the suction cups clear and the mat hygienic.

Bath Mats for the Tub

Bath mats for the tub are shaped to fit inside a standard or soaker bath. They typically have a longer profile and more suction cups than a shower mat, as the bath floor is larger and more curved. Measure the flat base of your tub before choosing so the mat lies completely flat.

Anti Slip Mats for the Rest of the Home

Bathroom safety gets most of the attention, but slippery surfaces in hallways, beside the bed, in the kitchen and on stairs are just as important. A mat that moves underfoot can be a hazard anywhere in the home.

Hallway and Bedroom Mats

Hallway runners and bedside mats are a tripping risk when they slide on floorboards or polished tiles. A mat with a rubber-backed base grips smooth floors without adhesive. If you are placing a mat on top of carpet, a rug gripper pad cut to size underneath will stop both mat and pad from shifting.

For beside the bed: choose a mat that covers the area where you first put your feet down in the morning. A low-profile edge and a non-curl backing are worth checking for, so the mat lies flat and stays that way.

Kitchen and Laundry Floor Mats

Kitchens and laundries see water and grease on the floor regularly. A heavier, waterproof mat with a ribbed or raised-pattern surface handles these conditions well. Look for a mat that is easy to wipe clean or machine washable. Anti-fatigue properties are a useful bonus if you spend a lot of time standing at the bench or laundry tub.

How to Choose the Right Non Slip Mat

Here's what to look for when choosing between mats:

• Backing type: Suction cups for wet areas (shower, tub). Rubber or PVC backing for dry hard floors. Rug gripper pad for mats on carpet.
• Size: Measure the space first. A mat that is too small shifts; one that is too large folds at the edges and becomes a hazard itself.
• Profile: A thin, flat mat with no raised edges is easiest to step over. This matters most for anyone who lifts their feet lower when walking.
• Surface texture: A ribbed or raised pattern gives grip underfoot. Smoother surfaces look neater but grip less in wet conditions.
• Washability: Most mats can be rinsed or machine washed. Check the care instructions before buying, especially for bathroom mats used daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best anti slip mat for a shower or bath?

Look for a mat with suction cup backing that grips the wet surface firmly. A mat with a textured or ribbed surface gives the best footing. Check the size against your shower floor or bath tub before buying to make sure it lies completely flat.

How do I stop a mat from sliding on carpet?

Use a rug gripper pad cut to fit underneath the mat. These pads lock between the mat and the carpet pile, stopping both from moving. They work on most carpet types and can be trimmed to any size with scissors.

Are non slip mats suitable for people with limited mobility?

Yes. Mats with a low profile edge reduce the chance of catching a foot on the way in or out. Look for a mat that lies completely flat and has a firm, grippy surface. A suction-backed shower mat is especially useful when standing balance is a concern.

Can I use a non slip mat on a wooden or tiled floor?

Yes, though the right backing matters. Rubber or PVC-backed mats grip smooth hard floors well. Avoid fabric-backed mats on tiles or polished timber as they can shift. For very smooth floors, a mat with individual suction cups on the base gives the most secure hold.
