GORILLA GRIP Patented Bath Tub Shower Mat 35x16 in - Secure, Machine

In this review of the GORILLA GRIP Patented Bath Tub Shower Mat, the bottom line is simple: it is best for households that want a large, comfortable mat that stays put and is easy to clean. The single biggest reason to buy is its patented suction design, which uses hundreds of suction cups to reduce slipping and keep the mat anchored during use. This review focuses on real use, covering drainage, material, fit, and routine care so you can decide if the mat suits your bathtub or shower setup.

Key Features

• Patented suction grip: Hundreds of suction cups secure the mat to smooth tub floors to reduce movement and increase shower safety.
• Easy water drainage: Numerous drain holes allow water to flow beneath the mat toward the drain, helping prevent stagnant water and mildew buildup.
• Textured, BPA-free surface: The pebble-textured topside and hexagon pattern provide a soft, slip-resistant surface that is gentle on feet.
• Oversized coverage: At 35 by 16 in the mat covers more of the tub floor than many competitors, offering better footing across a larger area.
• Machine washable: The mat can be tossed in the washing machine and air dried by hanging over the tub, simplifying routine cleaning.

Who It's For

This mat is a practical pick for families with kids or older adults who need extra slip resistance and a cushioned surface in the tub, and for anyone who prefers an easy-to-clean liner they can machine wash. It works well on smooth, non-textured surfaces where strong suction can form, making it suited to standard bathtubs and many shower pans.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of newly refinished tubs, tiled or textured surfaces, or any tub with an uneven finish, since the manufacturer specifies this mat is not for use on textured or freshly refinished surfaces. If you need a mat specifically engineered for textured or antique finishes, consider alternative mounting solutions.

Pros & Cons

Pros
