Bath Mats and Bathroom Rugs
This page sorts Superior's bath mats by material, because material decides where a mat works best. Cotton terry mats, such as the Greek Key and Lined sets, are thick floor towels for stepping out of the shower. Cotton bath rugs have a spray latex backing that grips tile. Textured polyester rugs add a high-low pile pattern, and low-profile nylon mats fit under most doors. Nearly every design is a set of two.
- Cotton terry mats (Greek Key, Lined, Leo, Nora) — dense terry up to 1000 GSM — Buy for stepping out of the shower.
- Cotton bath rugs (solid, oval, checkered) — tufted cotton over a non-slip latex backing — Buy for an everyday rug by the tub or vanity.
- Textured polyester rugs (Myra, Brou, Ceton) — high-low pile jacquard patterns — Buy for a rug that is part of the decor.
- Nylon mats (Rome, Troy, Reno) — 0.23 inch low pile — Buy for a kitchen or tight door clearance.

How to Choose a Bath Mat by Material
Cotton terry mats work like a heavy floor towel. Greek Key and Lined have no rubber backing, so they can slide on smooth tile; use them at the shower exit.
Cotton bath rugs have a non-slip latex backing and come as a pair: one for the tub, one for the vanity.
Polyester and nylon rugs are about pattern and clearance: a textured high-low pile, or a low nylon pile that clears most doors. For a room-by-room guide, see our bath rugs collection.
