I need a mat for my 91 yr old mother's shower. Is this really, really, really non-slip?
1315662
Yes, it's truly non-slip. It was recommended by a Childproofing specialist who said its the best option on the market. He couldn't even sell it to me (all sales through the website, no resellers) and he still recommended it even though he could've sold us something else at a markup. We've had ours 2 years and no problems. I was worried about mold since its permanently stuck to the tub but its still clean.

YES! We recently got a water softener - having a textured bathtub, I didn't think anything of it until my 2 year old was taking a bath and jumped while in the tub, slipping immediately (luckily I was there and caught him). I realized that we needed to get a non-slip mat that wouldn't move and the suction cup ones just didn't suction. We made the purchase and concerned with the textured tub - contacted the seller to find out and were reassured that the back was designed for it. Not only can my son jump in the tub without slipping now, due to backing the mat doesn't move AT ALL. Well worth the cost! YES!

Yes, it will not move an inch! I love it. Just wish it wasn't so overpriced, not to mention the shipping!

It really works well for me. I am 71 with knee, back and balance problems(slight).Prior to this I had 'suction cup' mats. After a time, the cups become slippery and slid quickly when I shifted my wright.About a5 years ago, in a nasty fall, my left rotator cup ended up torn.his mat provides with a reliable friction against the tub. Be careful win you out it down.Any questions just ask. The price was also competitive with others I found on the web,

Yes!! Worth the money!! I have a 1 yr old and 3 year old that are all over the place in the tub! They haven't slipped since I bought this.

I think this product might be one of the top choices for non-slip, when compared to others. One additional good thing about the Gatorgrip, asides from a good grip for the feet, is that it has a slight cushion, in case of a fall. Having shower grip bars and/or a shower seat would also be good ideas to consider, in addition to this product.

Yes, I bought it for my 18 month baby because he kept falling in the tub and getting hurt. The mat is non slip, as advertised. He runs around the bath tub and jumps under the shower spray and never once has fallen. The mat glues to the bottom of the tub with adhesives type of tape and no water gets under it to create mold. However, cleaning the tub is a bit of a pain when you can't lift the mat. But I have to say the soap and water wash off very easily of it when cleaning it. Hope this helps.

It's not scratchy... But it's not soft either... It's no more uncomfortable than a tub without a mat... Just safer.

I believe so if it is only slightly textured. I don't have the mat anymore (because we had a tiled floor) or I'd test it out for you. If you're talking the typical kind of shower floor that has just a bit of "scoring" so you don't slip, I think it would work fine.

It is not the right type of mat for helping with standing in the kitchen, the cushion is soft for just getting out of the shower and walking on, but it's not in any way supportive. There are much better mats for that. Also, this would absorb into the foam any liquids you spilled on it and would get manky pretty fast, I'd bet.This is what you want: Gold Box Deal of the Day: 60% Off Sublime Comfort Mats

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.

I've done P90X and crossfit and I would recommend this mat. I don't slide, slip, or sink like on a foam mat. And your weights won't ruin the mat.

It is not non-slip, its just plastic on the bottom, I actually have mine in the living room and haven't had any issues with it slipping on the carpet.

Hey, I'm not really sure - but I actually practice twice a day - Both Ashtanga (Mysore) and Power Yoga -and this mat isn't really non slip. :/

Yes, that is what I have. It was very slippery even with rubber mats as they would not stay in place. We ordered enough of the product to cover every tile, and I a no longer afraid to use this shower. Product a little expensive but cheaper than ripping out tiles and replacing. Hope this helps you make a decision.

The material that the mat is made of is high quality. I have never had a problem with slipping.

No. I used it for my balcony and shower in travertine, and it was not slippery

Yes....love the mat....doesn't slide, tiles are easy to pick up from it and it lays very smooth.

The mat's rubber surface isn't particularly slick and the mat is very heavy. I wouldn't think it too likely to slip.

Hi! No, I believe it's sturdier and heaver than a regular bath mat. I really like it.

This would depend on your general ability to move. i am 60 and don't have any problems or foresee any in the future. It does not have any structured bottom to prevent slipping though and it has a nice smooth finish that may become slippery when wet or just emptied of soapy water. Sorry for not much of an answer, but there are too many variables that may matter to you and not to me.

it does not slip,easily assembled ,and if you shower in front of the chair should be able to keep fairly dry

Sorry, Not sure, always take showers. This mat is so sticky I doubt it would matter. When I turn on shower the water hits the outer edge of mat & it's never moved an inch!
