Product Insights
The Ace Of Hearts Bath Mat by Simons Maison is an exclusive Canadian-designed, $29 mat blending 75% reprocessed cotton and 25% recycled polyester for durability, stain resistance, and fast drying that prevents musty odors. Lacking rubber backing, it allows frequent machine washing but requires a clean, dry surface for grip—a tradeoff for eco-friendly materials and quick drying. The family-owned brand since 1840 positions it as a premium alternative to its $14 basic mat, also offering a 100% organic cotton mat at the same price.

ourdime.ca. This confirms that the mat's design governance stayed local to Quebec City, upholding a 180-year tradition.
- Value positioning
$29 premium tier vs $14 basic mat, reflecting exclusive design and materials.
Why this is supported
The $29 price positions this mat as Simons' higher tier, above the
Organic Turkish Cotton Bath Mat 50 X 80 Cm In Brown $14
modesens.com. Both are the same size:
19.75" x 31.5" (50 x 80 cm)
modesens.com, so the price difference reflects the exclusive design and recycled material story rather than a larger mat.
- Durability
No rubber backing; polyester blend enhances durability, stain resistance, drying speed, and color retention.
Why this is supported
The mat has no rubber backing, so it can be machine washed repeatedly without backing degradation:
The backing also will not hold up well to weekly washing and drying.
plushrugs.comThe polyester content strengthens the rug:
Poly cotton rugs are stronger and more resilient to daily wear and tear than 100% cotton rugs

- Drying
Dries faster than 100% cotton, avoiding musty odors between uses.
Why this is supported
The 75/25 recycled cotton-polyester blend uses cotton for absorbency while the polyester fraction accelerates moisture evaporation. Justrug.com notes:
Polyester sheds water quickly. After washing, it dries significantly faster than cotton — a practical advantage
justrug.comAdditionally, the mat has no rubber backing, eliminating a moisture-trapping layer and enabling frequent washing without degradation. In contrast, rubber-backed mats degrade with repeated washing, as plushrugs.com states:
The backing also will not hold up well to weekly washing and drying.
plushrugs.comCare instructions require a cold-water delicate cycle to prevent fiber damage that would reduce absorbency, consistent with plushrugs.com's advice:
Most cotton and synthetic rugs can be washed in the washer in cold water on the gentle cycle.
plushrugs.com- Grip
Grip requires a clean, dry surface; spill-soaked areas may lose traction, so wipe promptly.
Why this is supported
The merchant's care instructions state the mat must be on a clean, dry surface for safe grip. A Q&A response confirms this, noting
This bath mat does not have a rubber backing; it relies on a stable, clean, and dry surface for grip, as noted in the care instructions.
Does this bath mat have a non-slip rubber backing, or does it rely solely on the fabric's grip on a clean dry floor?. The same moisture-repelling polyester that helps spills bead up means any spill that soaks through can temporarily reduce traction, making prompt cleanup important for safety.
- Washability
No rubber backing allows safe frequent machine washing without backing damage.
Why this is supported
The manufacturer explains that
This bath mat does not have a rubber backing; it relies on a stable, clean, and dry surface for grip
Does this bath mat have a non-slip rubber backing, or does it rely solely on the fabric's grip on a clean dry floor?. Mats with rubber backing
will not hold up well to weekly washing and drying
plushrugs.com, so this design allows more frequent machine washing without the backing failing.
- Stain resistance
Polyester holds dye for fade-resistant motifs and repels spills to prevent stains.
Why this is supported
Dye retention is enhanced by polyester:
Color retention: Polyester holds dye very effectively. Even after many washes, the colors in a polyester rug tend to remain vibrant and true — important for patterned designs where fading would ruin the look.
justrug.comAdditionally, the fibers resist moisture:
Polyester fibers naturally resist moisture penetration. Spills tend to bead on the surface rather than soaking in immediately, giving you a wider window for cleanup.
justrug.comThis makes stains easier to blot and reduces the need for abrasive scrubbing that could damage the pile.
- Materials
75% reprocessed cotton and 25% recycled polyester blend avoids virgin cotton's water footprint.
Why this is supported
The mat's material is a blend of reprocessed cotton and recycled polyester.
Recycled cotton fabrics also avoid the large water footprint associated with growing virgin cotton.

dunelm.comand the polyester component strengthens the weave against pilling and shrinkage, extending the mat's lifespan.
Recycled cotton brings the absorbency and soft hand typical of cotton, while the polyester component strengthens the weave against the pilling and shrinkage that pure recycled cotton is prone to, giving this mat a longer life than a 100% recycled-cotton alternative would have.
