Description
The Hebden Striped Cotton Bath Mat is woven from pure cotton terry, with a vertical stripe running the length of the mat in warm pecan brown against a cream ground. It measures 50 x 70cm, which is the generous single-mat size most people reach for beside a bath or a shower tray, wide enough to stand on with both feet and long enough to catch the drips as you step out. Cotton terry is the same looped construction you find on a good towel, so the pile has real depth to it rather than a thin printed surface.
This is a mat for a family bathroom or an ensuite where you want something soft underfoot rather than cold tile first thing in the morning. The pecan-and-cream stripe is easy to place: it sits comfortably with natural wood, brass or chrome fittings and with the warm neutral palette a lot of bathrooms already run. Because the stripe is directional you can lay it lengthways in front of a bath or turned across a shower opening, whichever suits the room, and it reads the same either way.
Being pure cotton, this mat is absorbent and holds a lot of water for its size, which is exactly what you want from something your wet feet land on. Cotton also washes and dries honestly, so the mat can go through the machine as often as a bathroom needs and come back looking like itself. The cream ground is the part to keep an eye on over time, as pale cotton shows marks more readily than a dark colour, so a regular wash keeps it fresh. If you like the stripe, the wider Hebden range carries the same design in other shades.

Frequently Asked
Is this bath mat made of the same material as a towel?
Yes, it is woven from cotton terry, the same looped pile you find on towelling, which is why it feels soft and holds water well underfoot.
How absorbent is a pure cotton bath mat?
Cotton is naturally absorbent and holds a good amount of water for its size, so it does the job of catching drips as you step out of the bath or shower.
What size is this mat and where does it fit?
It measures 50 x 70cm, the usual single-mat size that sits neatly in front of a bath or across a shower opening with room for both feet.
Will the cream ground stay looking clean?
Pale cotton shows marks more readily than a dark shade, so a regular wash keeps the cream ground fresh and the pecan stripe crisp.
Which way should I lay the stripe?
The stripe is directional, so you can lay it lengthways along a bath or turned across a shower entrance, and it looks right whichever way you choose.
