Cork Bath Mat - Small

Replace a bacteria-breeding bath mat with this all-natural cork alternative. The naturally antifungal Cork Bath Mat dries quickly and provides a soft, nonslip surface. Sustainably harvested; manufacturer is a certified member of the Forest Stewardship Council. Choose small (23¼"L x 17½"W x ½"D) or large size (35½"L x 23¾"W x ½"D). Portugal.

we like it! Date: October 28, 2009
"It does feel good under foot and it looks good, too. I'm taking care of it by flipping it over once in awhile if it starts to curl up at the edges, which takes care of that problem, and if its really wet after both our showers, I prop it up against tub to dry."

No problems, nothing to write home about Date: September 27, 2009
"My only complaints would be that the mat is too small for the price. And I wish the bumpiness was on both sides because I often have to flip the mat over to prevent it from curling. After use I try to make an effort to stand it up off the floor so it dries on both sides and doesn't curl. Overall it's an okay mat. It feels nice under my feets."

Beautiful! Date: May 31, 2009
"I love this cork mat! It is comfortable to stand on after my shower and adds a nice warm, organic color to my bathroom. I also have a cat and she has not touched it (she prefers to lie on towels). I have not noticed any molding and it has stayed nice and flat. I initially worried about it fitting in my small bathroom and if it would allow the old door to open and close over it, but it fits perfectly!"

Perfect for a small bathroom. Date: May 21, 2009
"I bought this mat to go into a small 3/4 bath in my basement. It fits so perfect and looks great. I used to have a puddle on the floor for hours after using this shower, even with a regular mat down. The cork absorbs every single drop and dries quickly in a room with little air flow. I plan to buy the large mat for my other bathrooms soon."

Love It! Date: April 25, 2009
"After reading the reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but this product delivers! I've had one outside of my very wet glass shower for nearly 6 months. It not only absorbs every drop of water, but it looks great and never mildews. I am going to be purchasing the large one for around the tub. I would recommend this product to anyone."

Disappointed!! Date: April 17, 2009
"I love the idea of these but they don't deliver!! Stained on top, curling up at the corners, one mat broke in half when I lifted it to mop underneath. I won't buy again unless improved!!"

"Like any bath mat you should take precaution:don't walk on it street shoes, clean under mat, and follow directions when cleaning. My mat is fine."

Poor Product Date: January 25, 2009
"I agree with the reviewer who was disappointed. I also have mildew growing on the bottom of the mat and it is constantly wet on the bottom. The top is also stained. Very unhappy with this product."

Outstanding Product Date: December 28, 2008
"I purchased the cork mat 3 months ago. It is outside of my shower and I absolutely love it. It dries very fast, it always looks good, no dirt or stains visible and it feels great on your feet. Cork is a great product, my dream is to have my floor all done with cork, and this mat made me wanted so much more.
I have intentions of purchasing 2 more for other locations in the house."

Quality Duribility and Value too! Date: December 15, 2008
"What more can I ask for? This mat is a thick cushion of natural warmth when I step out of my bath!

I have a standard poodle and nine cats who love to cuddle on it and 24 pounds of pure bred siamese :-) who use it as her scratching mat. Not to mention a household of humans who use it for its intended use.

After about two years, which is longer than I have had any bath mat, Daisy, the fat cat has managed to start chipping away at it. Other than that it is like new!

I am amazed she hasn't shred it and earlier! The whole house is her stratching post and she's a pro!

I have purchased this for friends and have sold them on it. I got my mom one and she would not use it. She just didn't get it. Finally, after asking and asking she did and is never going back.

Finally, just a comment on the photo. I makes it look tiny. refer to measurements instead. It really is the size of a regular bath mat.

This thing is amazing. Thanks for making such a quality product when most companies are, frankly, making junk anymore.

Please don't stop making this super product!"

Loved It!!! Date: October 8, 2008
"Unlike the other reviewer, I LOVE this product. It blends well with our decor but more importantly it dries SO fast!!!!! And never smells!! (We bought this about 6 months ago.) We have 3 people using the shower that it sits in front of and no one ever complains about it being wet. I'm buying another for a different bathroom."

Not what I had hoped Date: August 14, 2008
"After using this mat for several months I'm ready to go back to a regular bath mat. We've tried flipping it over on both sides but it still collects green mold on the bottom and stains with dirt marks on the top.

Very disappointing product."
