Bath mats.

Our T K Maxx often has a variety of good quality bathmats at reasonable prices. Its just luck whether they have what you want.

House of bath?

My shower mats are from Dunelm.

I have gone off those mats which are so heavy they make the washing machine go out of kilter when it spins! They tend to take ages to dry too.
Quite by accident I discovered one in IKEA and it is great - washes a dream and dries quickly. They do a large bath mat (£10) and a half size one which fits nicely next to my shower (£5) and some shops have the pedestal mat too. Lots of colours. No fluff all over the place either.

Those microfibre bobbly ones are very good and wash and dry beautifully. You can get them in most of the supermarkets and are very good value. Also, they don't slip on the floor like some. Who on earth pays £65 for a bath mat?

I have given up buying expensive bathmats. I have 2 sets of these non-slip ones, in cream and mocha, which I alternate. They wash easily and come out almost dry.
Jacquard bath mats

Pedestal mat for the hand basin, or for the toilet?

I also buy mine at Dunelm. Reasonable quality, the cotton ones are very hard wearing and cheap enough to replace when needed.

Bought mine in Aldi. Less than a tenner each if I remember rightly.
They wash lovely and dry quickly.

I want deep pink bath mat and toilet mat. We only have a small bathroom. Thanks for your replies.

Don't you think mats around the toilet are a bit....less than hygienic?

Could be just me

I bought lovely ones from John Lewis. Not expensive, wash well and dry quickly in the machine and dryer. Not sure if they have pink as a colour though. I bought white and think they have silver grey, mocha, turquoise and black

I agree, phoenix. I suppose if you wash them very regularly...............

I don't like them at all Phoenix, toilet mats that is. I'm fanatic about washing my bathroom floor and just have a bath mat.

Twiceasnice is ahead of me but I was going to suggest John Lewis who offer a decent range from £10 upwards and you can buy online if there isn't a branch nearby.
When we moved house last year, my little stash of JL bath mats came with us. I bought them in 1985 for £9.99 each and felt guilty at the time about the expense. I wish everything offered such good value! They're still bouncing back from constant wash and wear and are a delight to snuggle your naked toes in as you step out of the bath.

Welshwife me too! I also hate the heavy ones and bought really nice ones from Ikea. Also the best towels we've ever had - I think they were about £5 each.

I buy towelling bath mats that match the bath towels, just throw them in the washer and dryer.

I only have a mat for stepping out of the shower too, same colour as whichever colour towels we're using. I stopped using toilet mats and prefer a bare floor easier to keep hygienic, my very late X husband had a terrible aim Yuk!

I agree with phoenix it is many years since I had mats at the whb and loo. My bathroom floor is tiled- I only have a mat for stepping out of the shower. It is so easy to wash the floor.

I suppose a mat around the basin might be ok, (Mr P does seem to make a fair bit of mess having what he refers to as his "splosh" every morning,) but we just have one mat in the bathroom, definitely wouldn't want one round the toilet/loo/lavatory delete according to class/preference/personal taste!

We have recently moved and now have wet rooms. I find duck boards really good as bathmats get soggy with the splashes. John Lewis and quite expensive but the don’t need to be washed and will see us out!!

I have a varnished wooden floor in the bathroom and didn't put the pedestal mat back after I washed it last time. I now think [may be imagining it] that the wood around the loo is a bit smelly so I need to have a rethink. I have a cork mat next to the bath.

I agree with you Phoenix, I don't like any kind of mats around toilets - I think they're unhygienic. To be honest, I didn't think people bought them these days. We have vinyl flooring, which is easily cleaned. The bath mat, which is really more like an extra thick towel, is purely for stepping out of the shower and is kept on the towel rail when not in use (and washed frequently I might add!)

Oh and while we're on the subject, anyone for a toilet seat cover?

Just for everyone's attention, my husband does not splash, I wash my mats every other day. My floor is also mopped with bleach every other day.
All I was asking for is where I can get new ones from. Maybe I am old fashioned but don't worry I do stop at having a toilet seat cover.
