Are Stone Bath Mats Worth It? Gorilla Grip Chenille Mat Review
Worth it if you want soft chenille
Worth it or skip it?
Worth it if
- You want a plush, absorbent chenille mat that can be machine washed repeatedly.
Skip it if
- You specifically want a rigid stone or diatomite surface.
Key facts
Mat footprintMeasure your floor area first; this is the space the mat covers.
Pile heightThe high pile supports the plush, warm-underfoot feel this mat is designed to provide.
A clear soft-mat choice
If the 24 x 17-inch footprint fits and you want a plush, absorbent rug, this Gorilla Grip mat is a sensible alternative to holding out for stone. Choose another category if rigid diatomite is the point.
Buy on AmazonThe step-out feel
Wet feet meet a thick, plush rug beside the tub, shower, or sink instead of a hard stone-like slab.
Soft pile, rubber backing
This 24 x 17-inch mat uses nearly 1-inch-high chenille pile to capture moisture underfoot, while its thermoplastic rubber backing is designed for repeated washing without breaking down like PVC or hot-glue backings. It is a soft fabric mat, not a rigid diatomite surface.
Choose it when warmth and washability matter more than a stone mat’s hard, quick-dry feel.

What makes it absorbent?
The manufacturer describes its dense chenille pile as designed to capture moisture around a bath, shower, or sink.
