What is a non-slip bath mat?

A non-slip bath mat sticks to the floor, shower, or bottom of your bath to provide a stable surface to stand on when wet.

There are lots of different makes and models on the market to choose from, so you can find a mat that matches your décor and your needs.

Look out for extra safety features like lots of sticky 'feet' and bobbles or raised ridges on the mat surface that offer a little extra protection from slips and falls.

A non-slip bath mat is useful if you have problems balancing, are prone to falls, have lower limb weakness, or you have tremors.
