We went on a hunt for the softest and safest bath mats that Amazon has to offer.
The absorbent material will not only work to dry quickly but it's also an inexpensive upgrade that’ll make your bathroom feel like a royal flush.
Promising review: "Product is superior and well worth the price. I bought two for my master. They are extremely comfortable and sturdy. They come folded in fourths but regain their appearance quickly without creases. I’ve bought a similar mat but these are much better. I expect them to last. Worth the money!" —Kdeans
Price: $14.99+ (available in seven sizes and 21 colors).
Promising review: "I've been struggling to find a towel-like bathmat for a while, as it seems most stores don't carry them anymore and only sell regular towels or bath rugs. This was exactly what I wanted. The color is accurate, it has a little plush to it (not too much though), good absorbency, dries fairly quick when draped over the side of the tub after use, and it's a pretty close match in color to some towels I bought at Target. Will def buy again in the future." —aileen
Price: $12.29+ (available in two styles and 11 colors).
Promising review: "Very pleasantly surprised! I bought it because of the great reviews, but was skeptical, since I'd never heard of the brand and it was so inexpensive. It looks and feels like the quality of mat that I've seen in the store for twice as much or more money. I love the varying sizes of the fuzzy things. Feels amazing. Dries so much faster than cotton mats or those synthetic ones with the rubber backing. Stays put. Good weight. Back for a second one!" —jsmm

Promising review: "Supreme quality and amazing comfort, I highly, highly, recommend. That's the professional side of me speaking. Real me = this bath mat is like walking on a chinchilla, it's literally the best bath mat I have ever had the pleasure of placing my construction, corn-fed size 12 work boot feet on. I ordered it in the beautiful purplish color for the old lady and by golly gee, she wishes the bed was made out of it. Now that would be an even better feeling, wink, wink. BUY THIS THING PEOPLE!!!!." —Christopher
Price: $12.99+ (available in eight sizes and 21 colors).
Promising review: "It is a beautiful rug. I put it in a place that spans from the bathtub to the sink. The fiber is extremely soft and I even like to take another minute to longer on it. Its absorbent and anti-slip ability is great. After many uses, it has no shedding issue. Will be a return customer to purchase another one for my mum." —Miya
Price: $19.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
Promising review: "Love this rug! It does what it says in the description: it will dry your feet quickly and feels very soft and warm when stepping out the shower. This bath mat runner is awesome! I love how it covers the entire floor area in front of the tub. Doesn't slip when standing on it and super soft and comfortable for the feet." —Susan
Price: $14.99+ (available in six sizes and 12 colors).
Promising review: "We love the newest addition to our bathroom. This rug is good quality and very comfortable to step onto after a shower. It's absorbent, dries quickly, and a perfect size. I don't have to worry about slipping on it, because it's thick and durable. The colors are great and it's even nicer in person. I'm very satisfied." —Angela
Price: $13.99+ (available in nine sizes and four designs).
Promising review: "This mat is perfect for my tiny Brooklyn apartment. It is small but essentially takes up the entire bathroom floor. I like it because it does not get gross like textile-based bath mats. It is easy to wipe down and looks clean. If feet germs gross you out, this is the mat for you!" —Laura Anne White
Price: $39.99+ (available in two colors and sizes).
Promising review: "I love this rug. It is simple, modern and very soft. It is going in my bathroom, and i wanted/needed something durable, washable, and that wouldn't show stains! this rug is perfect. it has a nice bit of texture to it as well, that makes it look higher end. Great quality great price." —Yibei Du
Price: $18.99 (available in five sizes and eight colors).
Promising review: "I ordered 4 different brands and this is my favorite. All the other brands shrink some... but the thick ribs on this one are really thick and provide traction and a nice feel when stepping out wet." —ADecentOne
Price: $18.99+ (available in 18 colors).
Promising review: "Beautiful, comfy, and great quality! This rug is so soft and I love to stand on it, feels so nice! Has a slip-resistant backside and is water absorbent (perfect for stepping onto from shower or bath.) Looks beautiful, will buy more for our guest bath." —AJ
Price: $16.39+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).
Promising review: "Though the mat was a tad bit smaller than I thought it would be, it’s great! It’s soft and bouncy to step on, which is great for sore feet. I also have two little kids that exit their baths dripping wet, and the mat absorbed a fair bit of it, so there was less mess in my bathroom. It also dries fairly quickly so long as it’s not soaked." —vulcanarcher "Sonia"
Price: $18.99+ (available in two sizes and four designs).
Give your bathroom a refresh with a splash of color and rubber-backed mat that'll help expand its lifespan.
Promising review: "Wow! Beautiful color, very substantial, lays really nice. I'm using one on each side of my bed to add some color to the room. It is on laminate flooring, and is nonslip as advertised." —Nebraska Kid
Price: $19.99+ (available in five sizes and 14 colors).
This mat is made for inside the tub. It has drain holes to prevent mold or mildew from building up and it has strong suctions to help it stay in place. And although it was made with kids in mind, it could totally work for any household!
Promising review: "I am often skeptical of products that seem to fix one problem (slippery tub floor) by creating another problem (awkward dirty tub mat to clean and dry)— but this mat is awesome! The suction cups that hold it in place on the tub floor are powerful enough to easily hold it up on the shower wall when not in use, and it isn't a lot of effort to make it stick. The true test of any baby product is if you can use it with one hand, while holding the baby. I can lay this thing down or hang it up on the wall while hanging onto a slippery toddler, so—win! Bonus, the kid thinks it looks like shower art when it is hanging on the wall." —Harmony Button
Price: $14.99 (available in eight colors).
Promising review: "SO soft and cozy. I am impressed and pleased with how soft this is. After using, I have noticed the nonslip undersurface keeps it from sliding on the floor which is a huge bonus. I highly recommend this bath mat. The colors are stunning, too." —TS
Price: $16.99 (available in ten sizes, round and rectangular)
Promising review: "Everyone should get bamboo mats for bathrooms. I've always had cloth ones and they either get dirty/gross really fast or start smelling like feet during the summer (a house full of sweaty boys will do that). With this thing I just let my robo vac clean and then I mop it along with the floors. Doesn't get warped from water either." —Bri
Price: $14.99+ (available in six sizes and in a set of two).
Promising review: "Design is beautiful (not overdone), perfect towel-like mat to keep easily clean by washing (no latex backing). Works great on top of my anti-fatigue mats or you could easily get some of the removable floor latex/plastic grips to hold the towel-like mats if you like or should need that." —Amazon Customer
Price: $15.99 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "I love this bath mat! I was looking for something cute to add a little whimsy to my bathroom, but also for a soft and durable bath mat. I am so glad I bought this one. Plus, the bath mat is soft and absorbent. It dries relatively quickly. It has a sticky underside that keeps it from slipping around on the floor. I have washed it several times together with the bath towels, and it has held up well in the washer. I am impressed!" —Chazcat
Price: $19.99 (available in two animal designs).
Promising review: "Great mat at a great price. The felt bottom pad keeps it from slipping on the floor. Looks very nice and matches my cabinets. Very comfortable to stand on with bare feet. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Seems to stay nice and warm, not as cold as the floor underneath it." —Andrea
Price: $20.43
Promising review: "Soft and plush. Colors are bright and match the InterDesign chevron shower curtain perfectly. The smaller size was perfect for our guest bathroom." —Tisha
Price: $21.99+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "We use these in the guest bath where our toddlers bathe — so you know that water gets EVERYWHERE. This absorbs very well." —S & C Ryan
Price: $12.99+ (available two sizes and seven colors).
Promising review: "Got this for my shower to replace an old foam one and I love it! It took a bit to place due to all the little suctions cups (way more than my old one!) but it hasn’t come undone at all, even through the times I’ve given my wild pup a bath. It’s also a lot better looking than the last!" —Laura True
Price: $15.99+ (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "This rug is perfect for going under the bathroom sink. I love eggs and I saw this one— I fell in love. Since it’s white, it can get dirty easily but it’s very easy to clean in the washing machine and you can leave it to air dry, wouldn’t recommend machine drying. I’ve had it for a couple of months now and have really enjoyed it. I get compliments on it quite often and have really loved having it." —Keek

This mat goes inside your shower. Reviewers with foot-related health issues or recovering from surgery say this is a godsend!
Promising review: "I love this mat to put in our shower. It is really cushy for your feet. I have heel pain and plantar fasciitis and this makes a huge difference in the comfort of my shower. I can stand to stand! I pick it up and rinse it off after every use and hang it on a towel rack, so there is no problem with mold growth or getting dirty. I think it will last a very long time and is certainly worth the money." —C
Price: $26.99 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "My one-year-old went through a phase where they hated the bath no matter what we did. We get this duck bath mat and bam! Baths are fun. The suction cups make it so it stays in place in the bath even with water filled up. It’s also easy to clean, you can suction it to the wall or towel dry. We love this." —C & B
Price: $14.79
Promising review: "My husband locked my cats in the bathroom and they got pi***d and went to town scratching up this rug. There were an insane amount of pieces around the house for weeks, yet the rug looks no different. What is this sorcery?" —Brenden & Lexie
Price: $25.99
Promising review: "What a cute rug! Makes a fun statement and yet is fully functional. Throw it in the wash to clean and the air dry — easy peasy." —Friendly person
