does this mat try to float when the sink has water in it, or does it stay put on the bottom?

It stays put on the bottom of the sink. It is heavy enough to stay put & provide protection to delicate items when they are being washed (eg wine glasses).

No, I didn't notice it floating. However, I don't fill my sink with water usually. But wait, I just tried it with about 2-inches of water, and it absolutely did not float. It stayed flat against the bottom.

Hi Nancy! I have stainless steel sinks and the mats stay in place just fine. The notched corners give them a much better fit. I love mine. :)

Just saw your question. This mat does not float. As a matter of fact, it stays put very nicely, heavy and washes clean w/soap and water. I do use Simple Green on my sink (black porcelain) and the mat. I should buy another, so when and if this one wears out, I will have another. Good Luck, I would choose it again.

It does float - but it's not really designed to be a water toy. My grandson has his displayed along with his other Lego kits on shelves in his bedroom.

I have this sink and have no issues with "standing water", however that being said, if you want to save water, you may be disappointed because it takes more water to effectively clean or chase food down the drain. I use a dish brush to sweep food towards the drain and the faucet we have can be pulled down to help out. But as for water not draining, I've not had an issue. Maybe those that are complaining didn't bother to level their sink cabinet?

No. But it does have rubber feet to keep from marring or scratching the sink.

It does for a bit, but then when water starts to fill up the fabric it will not float.

No it does not float, it is heavy enough to hold it down, nothing needed to keep it down. great ladder and the removal steps are great. I love it!

Stays where you put it. I use the mat on a hard wood floor as well and have had no issues.

It stays in place by filling the lower chamber with water. Once you fill it you cannot move it because it becomes very heavy. I hope this helps.

It slips around a little bit. I moistened the bottom a little bit with water and it kind of stayed.

No, the cushion holds its shape and does not "sink." My husband sits on it most of the day and it does fine.

This mat will adhere to a textured surface. The bottom of the mat has one giant piece of paper you peel off and the mat has some type of adhesive on it that sticks to the tub. It works great! The mat was a little bit too long for our tub so we used a box cutter to cut out a semicircle for the drain. Once this mat is down, it's down. You don't remove it for cleaning or anything else until you no longer want to use it. My toddler son likes to walk around in the bathtub despite my efforts but he never falls. Highly recommend it!

nope it won't float but it'll get knocked out of place if the water from your faucet its it directly, it's solid metal so it won't float

No! It is relatively heavy and has a non slip bottom. Stays on place very well.

No. The mat does not slip on our hard floors. It stays put unless we move it.

the bottom of the mat has little suction cup type things. It was really slippery, though and I ended up not using it for what I needed it for. I really needed a non-slip mat.
