Will it stay put on a tiled bathroom floor?

It is sold as a non-slip mat with a backed underside, so it grips smooth tile and vinyl. Keep the floor dry and clean under it, since water and soap film reduce grip on any mat.

How does it compare with a cotton bath mat?

The polyester face dries faster and is lighter, but it is thinner and holds less water than a tufted cotton mat. Choose it for easy care and a low profile, not for a deep, cushioned feel.

Does it fit in front of a standard tub?

At 20 by 30 inches it covers a small strip of floor, enough for one person stepping out of a tub or shower. Larger bathrooms may want a longer runner or a second mat.

Can it go in the washing machine?

Yes, a polyester mat like this is machine washable. Use a cold or warm gentle cycle and air dry or tumble low, since high heat can warp the backing and dull the print.

Is it a good choice for a child's bathroom?

The sea-life print and small size suit a kids' bath, and the low pile is easy to clean. It is thin, so it offers little cushioning if someone wants a soft landing.
