What you are getting

Two bath mats, each 50 × 80 cm, in 100 % cotton woven as a dense terry with a pearl structure at 1 000 g/m², washable to 40 °C, tumble dryable, colourfast, suitable for underfloor heating, certified to OEKO-TEX 100, made in Portugal. Also offered at 60 × 100 cm.

A thousand grams a square metre

The heaviest textile in this catalogue.

Against the 800 g/m² mats in this hub that is a quarter more cotton, and you feel it: denser underfoot, more absorbent before it goes damp, and it lies flat instead of rucking.

And what the weight costs

Drying time.

A 1 000 g/m² cotton mat that hangs over a rail in an unheated bathroom takes a day. In a tumble dryer it takes half an hour.

If you do not have a dryer, the lighter mats in this hub are the more practical purchase — and that is not a small point about a thing that gets stepped on wet every morning.

Underfloor heating, stated

Plain woven cotton with no backing, so warmth from below works in its favour rather than against it.

The collection

It matches the maker’s towel range, which is the reason people buy a mat at this price: the bathroom reads as one thing rather than as a mat that happens to be there.

The wash

Up to 40 °C, colourfast. The lowest ceiling in this hub alongside two others, on the mat most likely to need a hot wash. Read the care label and stay within it — a colourfast claim at 40 °C is not a claim at 60.

Availability

On sale at around 35 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores at the time of checking.
