1. A beautiful mat that’ll match all of your beloved Persian rugs. You may have had to painstakingly source the latter from vintage emporiums and Facebook Marketplace, but this baby will ship straight to your door in two days.

Promising review: “Super soft and cushy, the colors are great and it is super easy to clean. About once a week, I just throw it in the washer. I’ve had it for a couple of months now and it still holds up!” —Storm Pierre
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).
2. A plush checkered number with a nonslip rubber backing so you’ll never step out of the shower and slip like a cartoon character on a banana peel.
Promising review: “I love anything neutral and anything checkered. This mat has a great thickness and is super soft. I’ve bought a ton of bath mats that say they’re nonslip but end up sliding everywhere. This does NOT budge, and the backing is absolutely nonslip. Make sure to check which size you are getting when ordering. The size I got was perfect for my very small bathroom and also seems to absorb water well from my husband, who refuses to dry off before he gets out of the shower. 🙃 Great value for what you spend.” —Melissa F.
Get it from Amazon for $13.86+ (available in five sizes and in 29 colors).
3. A playful bath mat if you don’t like to take life too seriously and you’d like your decor to reflect that as well.

4. A multi-texture mat you can really sink your toes into when you get out of an “everything” shower and need to reground yourself.
5. A statement-making tiger bath mat that won’t have guests calling PETA on you.
Amazon
Promising review: “Do you see those photos of rich people gloating over a beautiful dead animal they hunted just for giggles, and it makes you mad, but you also low-key kind of like the aesthetic of tiger skin in front of your heater that looks like a fireplace? This is the product for you! If you want to step out of your shower and onto a dead tiger but you don’t want to be a jerk about it, I recommend this product.” —SofaKingCrafty
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
6. A runner with a stone-like design if you want to pretend like you’re at a Japanese onsen and not in the bathroom of a rental countless other people have used before you.
Wayfair
7. A neutral boho mat with an eye-catching texture that does all the talking because bright, in-your-face patterns aren’t for everyone, and that’s A-okay!
8. A 100% cotton mat with a fancy lil’ border that’s reminiscent of something you’d see at a boutique hotel.

Promising review: “Plants are abundant in my bathroom, and this mat is a perfect addition. It absorbs water well, and I can easily throw it in the washing machine when it needs cleaning. I am very happy with my purchase.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.45+ (available in three sizes).
10. A nonslip microfiber shaggy bath mat that’s nearly an INCH THICK! Plus, if you get it in white, you always have the option to bleach it so it stays nice and bright.
Promising review: “This is amazing! It is so comfy! Right now, it is really cold for us, and stepping out of the shower is a lot easier with this mat. It feels wonderful and very well-made. We got the gray one that matches our bathroom and will be purchasing a white one for our other bathroom.” —Aritopia

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five sizes).
12. A circular rug with a fun pompom border to add a touch of color and dimension to your space. Just an FYI: Reviewers warn that you should tuck it away before letting your robotic vacuum loose, should that be your preferred method of cleaning.
Promising review: “Love this little rug! For the price I half expected the print and the pile would be flat. But, was pleasantly surprised that the print appeared dyed into the fibers so that you can actually spot clean without worrying about removing an iron on print. The pile is a normal low-pile carpet type. After removing the packaging, I did have to stretch and steam out the tassels to get them to lay away from the rug. The backing keeps it from sliding on the wood floor. This works perfectly in the small space that I needed it for. Very pleased.” —JaCELR05
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in four sizes and five colors).
13. A sardine number if you’re a trendy guy/gal and/or just have a real affinity for tinned fish.
Promising review: “When I saw this rug, I knew I had to immediately get it, no hesitations. It fits perfectly in my bathroom and adds the pop of color I needed!! I got it on sale, which made it worth it, but I’m also buying some as gifts :)” —sydmakinbank
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $39 (available in two colors).
14. And an egg-shaped bath mat guaranteed to prevent any Humpty Dumpty-style slips or falls post shower so you can go earn that bacon! 🥓
Amazon
Promising review: “I purchased this for my kitchen, and I’m in love! It’s super soft, and the rubber backing keeps it in place. I’ve run the vacuum over it, and the material didn’t pull or anything, so it’s very good quality and super easy to clean.” —Sarah B.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three sizes).
