Why we picked it
This is an unglamorous purchase that you notice every single morning. Water goes into the stone almost immediately, so you step off dry and the mat is ready again within minutes. More to the point, it removes the thing that makes small bathrooms smell in humid weather: a fabric mat that never fully dries between showers. There's no washing cycle to remember and nothing to hang over a radiator.
Styling notes
Put it exactly where you step out of the shower or bath, not tidily off to one side, because dry feet the second they land is the entire benefit. The pale stone tends to disappear against neutral tiles, which is what you want from a bath mat; printed fabric ones announce themselves in a way that dates a bathroom fast. If you're building the wider spa look, it sits well near a teak bench or a rattan tray. Stand it on its edge between uses so both faces can breathe.
Good to know
- Stand it on edge between uses to air out.
- It's a firm surface. This is a mat, not a plush rug.
