Getting in and out of a bath is where balance fails first, and an enamel or acrylic base offers nothing to grip. The K Care Suction Bath Mat covers the standing area with textured natural rubber, held down by suction cups so it stays where it is put. Drain holes let the water run through instead of pooling on top and making the mat itself slippery.
It suits a client with reduced balance stepping into a bath or standing in a shower, and it is worth having under a bath board or a shower stool so the feet of the equipment stay put. It wipes clean and drip dries over the edge of the bath.
The one thing to check before ordering is the surface. Suction cups need a smooth, flat floor to seal against, so a textured or heavily tiled shower base will defeat it. In that bathroom a stool with rubber feet or a fixed grab rail will do more for the client than a mat.
Good to know
- Press the mat down firmly on a clean, dry surface so all suction cups seal
- Lift and hang to dry after each use to limit mould
