6 Best Non Slip Shower Mats Under $25 in 2026

The Gorilla Grip 35x16 is the pick that most buyers should start with. It uses a patented layout of hundreds of suction cups underneath and a hexagon pattern with a pebble-textured top, so the grip is delivered by both the underside and the surface your feet meet. The material is listed as BPA-free, and the clear finish lets the tub floor show through, which many people prefer to a colored slab.

The tradeoff is length. At 35 inches it is shorter than the 40-inch TEESHLY, so in a long tub there will be bare floor at one end. Suction mats also only bond to smooth, non-textured tub surfaces, and a Gorilla Grip will not stay put on a floor with a built-in anti-slip pattern. If your tub has that kind of molded texture, none of the suction picks in this list are a good match.

Ownership is simple. Hundreds of drainage holes let water run toward the drain, and the listing says it can go in a washing machine, which beats scrubbing by hand. Compared with the OTHWAY and its 360 drain holes it is a little less drain-focused, but the established design and square-ish proportions make it the safer default. It also sits above most of the others here in cost, so it is the pick for people willing to spend a little more at this budget.

OTHWAY puts its numbers up front: 198 suction cups and 360 angled drain holes, which the listing contrasts with roughly 250 holes on typical mats. That makes it the drainage leader of this group. Water and soapy runoff pass through quickly, so the surface should be drier under your heel and the mat should be less likely to hold a film of soap against the tub.

The material is a flexible TPE with raised nodules, which gives a mild foot-massage feel and a softer bend than stiff PVC. The flexibility helps it follow a slightly curved tub floor. The downside is that very soft mats can curl at the edges if they are not fully pressed down, so press each cup flat during installation and recheck after the first few showers.

Compared with the Gorilla Grip 35x16, the OTHWAY has fewer stated suction cups than the home-brand claim of hundreds, but its drainage design is the more aggressive of the two. It sits in the cheaper half of the price range, which makes it a sensible choice if standing water is your main complaint. For a household that showers daily, the faster drying is the practical reason to choose it.

The TEESHLY is the longest mat in this lineup at 40 x 16 inches, which makes it the best answer for a long standard tub where a 35-inch mat leaves a gap. The surface is a domed, pebble-like pattern in soft-touch PVC, and the listing highlights a massage-like feel under the feet during a shower.

Coverage is its main argument, and that matters more than it sounds. A mat that reaches both the faucet end and the drain end means you are always stepping onto grip rather than bare enamel, especially when you shift position to rinse. The cost is size, since a 40-inch mat is harder to rinse in a small sink and will not suit a compact shower stall.

The listing also describes the mat as machine washable and drained, so routine cleaning is not a chore. Next to the Gorilla Grip 35x16, the TEESHLY adds five inches of length and calls out a soft-touch PVC feel. Pick it for length and a softer hand, and skip it if your tub is short or has a textured floor.

Most shower mats are cut as long rectangles for tubs, which is the wrong shape for a stand-up shower. The Gorilla Grip Square is 21 x 21 inches and sized for a stall floor, where you mainly stand in one spot rather than step across a long basin. It shares the brand's patented suction cup layout and hexagon pebble top.

The square shape is its strength and its limit. It covers where your feet land in a normal shower, but it will not span a wide stall, so a larger walk-in with a linear drain may need two mats or a different product. Check that your stall floor is flat and smooth, because suction cups need a clean bonding surface, and a seam or ridge under the mat will break the seal.

Cleaning is straightforward, since the drain holes let water pass and the BPA-free material is easy to wipe or rinse. It is the second most expensive pick here by rank, so you are paying a little for the shape rather than for extra grip. If you have a tub, take the Gorilla Grip 35x16 instead. If your shower is a stall, this is the pick that actually fits.

The BEMISO is the smallest rectangle in the roundup, at 27.5 x 15.7 inches, and it relies on more than 160 suction cups plus slotted drain panels. The listing describes TPE and PP construction and positions it as a gentle-touch mat for people with sensitive skin or for use around kids and older adults.

Smaller means easier handling. It is lighter to rinse, dries faster and fits a narrow tub or a shower stall where a 35-inch mat would overhang. The compromise is that it leaves more floor exposed, so it suits people who mostly stand in one place. With fewer suction cups than the OTHWAY at 198, its hold depends on a clean, smooth floor and a firm press during setup.

It lands in the middle of the cost range, which makes it a reasonable compromise for small spaces. If your tub is long and you want full coverage, the TEESHLY is the better fit. If space is tight and you value quick drying, the BEMISO is a clear, simple choice.

The Hargiis takes a different approach from the suction-heavy picks. It is 0.4 inch thick with a loofah-like textured top and a plaid backing on the underside, and the listing frames it as a foot comfort and scrubbing mat that also resists slipping. The thickness gives a cushioned feel that stiff, thin mats do not.

The tradeoff is grip method. A plaid backing relies on friction and surface contact rather than a dense grid of suction cups, so it can behave differently on different tub finishes. It is worth testing the first shower with care and pressing it flat. A thicker mat also holds more water, so let it dry fully between uses to avoid mildew.

It sits in the lower middle of the price ladder. Next to the Gorilla Grip 35x16 it gives up the proven suction layout in exchange for a plusher feel. Choose it when comfort under the feet matters to you, and choose a suction-cup pick instead if you want the strongest hold on a slick tub.
