Description
The Hebden Striped Cotton Bath Mat is made from 100% cotton terry, woven in a run of horizontal stripes that alternate a soft grey with a pale off-white ground. It measures 50 x 70cm, which is a generous single-person size: enough room to stand square with both feet on the mat as you step out of the bath or shower, rather than balancing on a smaller pad. Cotton terry is the reason a mat like this works. The looped pile gives it a plush, cushioned feel underfoot, and because cotton is naturally absorbent it lifts water off your skin quickly and holds it, keeping the floor around it drier.
This is a bathroom mat first and foremost, and the striped pattern is quiet enough to sit in most schemes. The grey and off-white palette is easy to place against white tiles, painted panelling or a plain painted wall, and it works whether your bathroom leans classic or more pared-back and contemporary. Lay it at the side of the bath, in front of the basin, or by the shower where you need somewhere soft and dry to stand. The 70cm length runs comfortably along the side of a standard bath.
The stripe is woven into the terry rather than printed on top, so the pattern is part of the cloth and stays put through repeated use. Being pure cotton, it is a straightforward material to keep: cotton washes and wears well, and it takes a warm wash and machine drying in its stride, which matters for something used with wet feet every day. Wash it before first use to bring the pile up, and give it a shake out when it comes off the line to soften the loops. A simple, honest cotton mat that earns its place in a well-used bathroom.

Frequently Asked
Is this bath mat really soft to stand on?
Yes. It is woven from 100% cotton terry, so it has a looped pile that feels plush and cushioned underfoot when you step out of the bath.
How absorbent is a cotton bath mat?
Cotton is naturally absorbent, so the terry pile draws water off your feet quickly and holds it, helping to keep the surrounding floor drier.
What size is it and who does it suit?
It measures 50 x 70cm, a generous single-person size that gives you room to stand square with both feet on the mat rather than balancing on the edge.
Will the stripes fade or peel over time?
The stripe is woven into the terry rather than printed on the surface, so the pattern is part of the cloth and will not peel away with use.
Where in the bathroom should I put it?
Lay it beside the bath, in front of the basin or by the shower, anywhere you want a soft, dry place to stand after washing.
