Shower Room Floor Mats

Imagine the after effects of standing on cold bathroom floor just after having finished a hot water shower! You are already shivering with the thought. Or, perhaps you find it thrilling. But, what about the small water mass you create there. Ever occurred to you that your sense of thrill could prove very dangerous for some other member of your family who uses the bathroom after you’ re finished. The only solution is to mop the floor every time somebody uses the bathroom. Is that viable all the time? The next best thing is to use shower mats.

A shower mat positioned just outside the shower chamber gives us the opportunity of standing soon after we exit the shower. The mat won’t be too cold, having acclimatized to somewhat warm bathroom and will soak the water dripping down the feet. But, that is not the only characteristic that mats should have. We expect it to have the flowing features too:

1. Quick drying: a shower mat is not only expected to absorb water, but also get dried up fast for the convenience of the next user. Bamboo mats dry up within 15-20 minutes of use and are therefore most suited for the purpose.

2. Absorbent: That being the basic function of a mat matters the most. Except for rubber mats, all other kinds sufficiently take care of this need.

3. Fungus resistant: That’s an important prerequisite as it directly affects the health of the user. Mats that dry faster can resist fungus better. Cotton mats aren’t really resistant to fungus and need to be washed frequently. Rubber mats are the best in this regard followed by bamboo mats.

4. Comfortable to the feet: Make a special note of this. Cotton is much more comfortable that any other material and leaves behind all other materials. Bamboo mats follow next.

5. Easy on the wallet: Generally, rubber mats are the most economical and offer nominal comfort. Cotton mats are expensive. Bamboo mats would generally fall within budget for most buyers and earn a good score on other fronts too.

You would do well to weigh the plus and minus points of different types of mats before buying one. You’ll find bamboo to be the most versatile while cotton is certainly the most comfortable, though you will need to wash it quite frequently for safe use.
