Prevent Falls With the Best Non-Slip Bath Mats for Inside Your Shower (2025)

Our Top Picks

The Gorilla Grip Patented Shower and Bath Mat is our top choice for a secure, sticky, and stylish shower mat—it’ll stay in place and keep you upright even when slick with soap. Featuring more than 300 suction cups on its underside, this mat provides a firm hold on smooth shower and tub floors.

The abundance of drainage holes allows water to easily flow under the mat toward the drain, preventing it from pooling around your feet. These holes also allow air to circulate more freely, which prevents mold and mildew. The oversized textured mat is soft under tender feet, and it comes in 20 fun opaque and translucent colors like mint, purple, and charcoal.

Even better, the plastic surface is easy to wipe down and even machine washable. Just keep in mind that it may not adhere as strongly to textured floors or surfaces (though we suspect it will grip most showers and tubs!)

If you’re on a budget, the AmazerBath Bathtub mat is an affordable option that’s plenty grippy. We're big fans of the subtle textured pattern on this oversized bath mat, which can add traction and comfort underfoot. The 200 powerful suction cups on the underside ensure that this mat stays in place, while the textured surface offers plenty of non-slip protection.

The bath mat also features 176 drain holes, which quickly drain water to keep it dry and clean after each use. The generous length means it will cover your tub from end to end, and one side features a cut-out to fit around your drain.

While this is made from PVC, it’s surprisingly easy to care for; simply toss it in your washing machine to get it clean. Just keep in mind that it’s intended for use only on clean, smooth surfaces, as it won’t grip textured tub floors well.

Another minor complaint worth mentioning is the mat may smell a bit plasticky when opening the package. You can try wiping it down with baking soda and water before using it, which should eliminate any unwanted smells.

The durable SlipX Solutions Shower Mat is a great solution for square-shaped showers that need more floor coverage. This non-slip bath mat measures 27 x 27 inches in size, providing more coverage than your average stall shower mat. With 100 powerful suction cups, it also attaches securely to your shower floor (however, it may not adhere so strongly to textured floors).

The textured design feels soft under your feet, and it provides plenty of non-slip traction as you move around inside the shower. The large center drain hole and the multitude of drain holes in the mat allow for effective drainage, and the PEVA material itself is mildew-resistant, so you don’t have to battle any messy cleaning.

We love that this mat is machine washable. If you’re looking for an even easier solution, you can simply rinse it and hang it dry. The 10 fashionable color options, which match any design aesthetic, are another great perk. While you will definitely feel the texture of this mat under your feet while you shower, it’s not a drawback that we think takes anything away from its functionality, sturdiness, and easy-care nature.

When it comes to kid-safe products, this mat is a standout for its vibrant color and design. This candy-colored non-slip bath mat is bright and inviting, and it offers a fun way to engage, entertain, and educate your child by naming colors while you wash them down.

The big dots also provide little ones with traction underfoot so they won’t slip and slide in the tub or shower. A series of skid-resistant suction cups hold the mat securely in place. And if you’re worried about the materials that went into making this rubber mat, you can rest easy knowing it’s BPA- and latex-free.

Note that this mat doesn’t stick well to textured surfaces like tile, and is best used on smooth surfaces and floors. It’s also not the most durable, as the dots can come off in time. We do like that it’s easy to clean; simply wipe it down, and hang it up to air dry. Like the AmazerBath Bath Tub Mat, you may notice an unpleasant smell upon opening, which should dissipate quickly.

Soothe your feet and elevate your bathroom comfort with the SlipX Solutions Pillow Top Bath Mat. This non-slip pick is exceptionally cushioned, offering more than 700 air-filled pillow pockets that cradle your feet in spa-like comfort while providing non-slip protection, a detail that’s particularly essential for older adults and those who have balance issues.

Made of thick rubber, the mat weighs over three pounds, making it thicker and heavier than most of our selections. This extra weight can also help add stability to unsteady feet.

When it comes to durability, this non-slip bath mat is a standout. Its material resists fading, cracking, or tearing, ensuring that it will hold up over time, and the 200 suction cups on the underside firmly secure the mat to the tub for safety.

At 27 inches long, this mat provides a fair amount of floor coverage; however, it may leave some gaps when placed in larger baths and showers. It doesn’t feature drain holes to prevent mold or mildew, but the mat is machine-washable in warm water, which is a nice perk.

If you’re particularly concerned about slips, the Hargiis Non Slip Bathtub Mat has an ultra-textured surface for excellent traction underfoot. It has a loofah-like texture, which can even provide gentle exfoliation as you shower.

It comes in multiple colors and shapes for every bathroom, including a square size for your shower and an extra-long size for your bathtub. Note that this bath mat doesn’t have suction cups to keep it in place, but rather a rubbery non-slip backing. While we don’t suspect it will move around as you shower, it may be slightly less secure than the other options on our list.

This PVC pick doesn’t have any explicit drainage holes, we think its layered, breathable design will allow water to pass through without issue. The texture also allows it to dry quickly, which can be help prevent mold and mildew.

Offering a stylish and functional design, the Songziming Non-Slip Pebble Bathtub is a great pick that can enhance your bathroom’s aesthetics and safety. This pick’s pebble-like textured surface features small and large circles to prevent slips. We also appreciate that it has 200 suction cups to ensure the bath mat stays firmly in place for safer bathing.

This pick is made from PVC, which is thick and durable. Plus, you can machine wash this bath mat when it’s time to clean, but we think regular wipe-downs should suffice. The mat’s pebble design promotes efficient water drainage, which prevents water from puddling and reduces the risk of slips.

At 16 x 35 inches, it should be large enough to span the size of your bathtub. However, if you find that it’s too large, we appreciate that you can also cut it to your desired size. Note that the frosted finish may reduce traction—for something with a bit more grip underfoot, check out the Hargiis Non Slip Bathtub Mat.

Final Verdict

Our overall best choice is the Gorilla Grip Patented Shower and Bath Mat, which offers the most suction cups and plenty of coverage underfoot, thanks to its larger size. The highly textured upper surface is equally traction-enhancing and comfy under bare feet. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, our best budget pick, the AmazerBath Bathtub Mat, has grippy suction and plenty of non-skid protection.
