The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, this is the clearest consensus winner in the in-tub category. The New York Times explicitly calls it the grippiest underfoot and one of the easiest to clean of the mats it tested, and The Spruce, which tracks its own non-slip testing methodology, picks it for high-traffic and large-household bathrooms. r/housekeeping commenters specifically credit the drain holes for keeping mold at bay, which is the chief failure mode for suction mats generally.
What reviewers liked
- The New York Times rates it the grippiest and easiest-to-clean tub mat in its test pool
- The Spruce specifically recommends it for high-traffic households
- Drain-hole design reduces mold buildup according to r/housekeeping users
- Machine washable, unusual for suction-cup tub mats
- Largest verified-review sample in the candidate pool (~110,000)
Where it falls short
- The New York Times explicitly notes suction cups fail on textured or tiled tub surfaces
- r/BuyItForLife users report the underside needs frequent cleaning or grows grime
- PVC/plastic construction is not as comfortable underfoot as fabric mats
- Clear color shows soap scum and discoloration over time
Across the reviewers we read, this is the clearest consensus winner in the in-tub category. The New York Times explicitly calls it the grippiest underfoot and one of the easiest to clean of the mats it tested, and The Spruce, which tracks its own non-slip testing methodology, picks it for high-traffic and large-household bathrooms. r/housekeeping commenters specifically credit the drain holes for keeping mold at bay, which is the chief failure mode for suction mats generally.
The honest caveat — and both The New York Times and r/bathrooms threads raise it — is that the suction-cup design requires a smooth tub surface. On textured acrylic or tile, the cups will not seat and the mat will float. r/BuyItForLife commenters also note that even when grip works, the underside still requires regular cleaning or 'it gets pretty gross.' This is not a set-and-forget product.
Within those constraints, the combination of Amazon's ~110,000 verified reviews at a 4.5 average and two high-trust editorial endorsements makes it the safest pick for inside-the-tub safety, especially for older users where slip risk is the primary concern.

The gorilla grip mat is awesome, but l really just got tired of cleaning it. I would forget and it would get pretty gross. If I wasn't such an ...
Not soft · Can't be tossed in the wash · Can't be bought in different colors to fit your home's look · More expensive than a regular-ass bath mat.
