The Teeshly Extra Long Mat is designed for oversized tubs, measuring 40 inches by 16 inches. This extended length is intended to cover the entire floor of a standard alcove tub, including the entry and exit zones. The 200-suction-cup array provides a mechanical grip on smooth, non-porous surfaces, while the 2.5mm thickness offers a balance of foot comfort and floor clearance.
Specifications indicate that the drainage holes are clustered toward the center to help move water toward the drain more efficiently than mats with fewer perforations. Like most PVC-based safety items, this mat is not compatible with textured or refinished tub surfaces, as these finishes prevent a proper vacuum seal from forming.
A monthly soak in a mild vinegar solution can help prevent the material from hardening due to mineral deposits from hard water.
If your shower has a textured floor where suction cups won't work, the Hitslam loofah-style mat is a better alternative as it does not rely on suction. For smooth tubs, however, this extra-long model provides the most comprehensive coverage available.
