Best nonslip bubble bath mats for bathtubs

Top pick: Secure Mat – The Ultimate Non-Slip Bath Mat. It's the one I'd put in a family tub: a big 32" x 16" PVC-backed surface with a strong grip, and by far the most feedback of anything here (4.7 from 2,300+ ratings). It's plain black, so it's about function over looks.

Who the others suit:

• Mainstays Oval Bubble mats (charcoal or clear): the classic bubble look and the cheapest way to get it, with a solid 4.3 rating from 1,700+ buyers. Best if you want a soft, bubbly feel and don't mind replacing it sooner.
• Evideco Bubbles oval mat: a smaller oval for a compact tub; ratings are mixed, so check the size fits before buying.
• AmazerBath silicone mat (clear): if you want the tub to still look bare, silicone tends to stay clearer and last longer than vinyl.
• Secure Grip rubber mat: a square rubber option for a shower floor rather than a long tub.
• Hunter Green foam mat: long 36" coverage, but it has almost no reviews to go on.

Whatever you choose, look for suction cups across the whole underside, a mat that covers most of the tub floor, and rinse-and-hang it after each bath so it doesn't go slimy.
