Product Insights
The Simons Maison Diatomite Bath Mat (39x60 cm, $28) offers a stone-like feel that absorbs water in under a minute and dries passively, preventing mold, while its diatomite composite resists cracking and mold. It stays firmly in place on tile or vinyl with the included non-slip underlay, lasts 5–10 years with proper care, and saves 60–80% in annual cost versus fabric mats. However, it demands periodic sanding, descaling, and upright drying—never machine wash—can chip if dropped, requires a flat, level surface, and comes in only one non-trimmable size.
Verified claims
- Drying
- Absorbs water in under a minute and dries passively, preventing mold.
- Material
- Composite of 60% diatomite, minerals, and fiber resists cracking and mold.
- Texture
- Buyers describe a stone-like feel with natural irregularities.
- Care
- Requires periodic sanding, descaling, and upright drying; never machine wash.
- Lifespan
- With care, lasts 5–10 years, about five times longer than fabric mats.
- Surface feel
- Feels like standing on slate or unglazed tile—firm, stone-like, not plush.
- Dry feel
- Absorbs water from wet feet and feels dry to the touch within about a minute as the porous diatomite wicks moisture away.
- Stability
- Stays firmly in place on tile or vinyl with included non-slip underlay.
- Handling
- Can chip if dropped; needs flat floor; cannot be trimmed.
- Design aesthetic
- The surface is natural diatomite stone with a bleached effect and may show spots, grooves, and natural irregularities; these are intentional features that give the mat a rustic-modern look rather than a flat, uniform white finish.
- Durability
- Monthly mild-soap scrubs and periodic light sanding help keep the diatomite pores open and preserve fast drying.
- Size
- ONE SIZE slab (39×60 cm) fits one adult and cannot be cut.
- Surface requirement
- Rigid slab demands a flat, level surface to avoid cracking.
- Annual cost
- $28 mat: $3–6/yr, saving 60–80% vs fabric over its 5–10 yr lifespan.
- Absorption capacity
- The mat can absorb up to 150% of its own weight in water and then release it through ambient evaporation within a minute.

A quick-drying mat for everyday bathroom use
Use this 39 x 60 cm diatomite mat as a daily bath mat. Customer reviews report it dries fast with no lingering dampness and feels comfortable underfoot, including for bare feet. The compact footprint works well for smaller bathrooms, though reviewers note it may feel small for those wanting more floor coverage.[1]
Pulling moisture out of wet clay and craft materials
Customer reviews report a surprising non-bath use for this diatomite mat: setting wet clay or other damp materials on it to draw off excess moisture. Crafters describe it as a useful studio tool for this purpose, noting it absorbs water effectively.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Diatomite Bath Mat 39 X 60 Cm: Choose this if you want a quick-drying, comfortable stone-style bath mat for a compact space — reviewers report it dries exceptionally fast with no lingering dampness, feels smooth underfoot even for bare feet, and helps prevent puddles. The 39 x 60 cm (about 15.25 by 23.5 inches) diatomite mat has a smooth matte, stone-like surface with rounded corners and a woven non-slip pad underneath, and it's simple to care for: wash with water as needed and let it dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. It's also reported to work well beyond the bathroom — crafters say it effectively absorbs excess moisture from wet clay — but its compact footprint may disappoint if you want more floor coverage, so check your space before ordering.[1,2,3,4] | Organic Turkish Cotton Bath Mat 50 X 80 Cm: Choose this if you want a plush, absorbent mat for daily post-shower use: reviews describe its thick Turkish cotton pile as soft and luxurious, soaking up water quickly and drying fast enough to avoid mustiness. It measures 19.75 by 31.5 inches (50 x 80 cm), fits well beside most tubs and showers in small to medium bathrooms, and reportedly holds its shape and color through frequent machine washing and tumble-drying. Note that it is 60% organic cotton with the remainder conventional cotton, comes in a single TUBMAT size in seven colors, and some users with larger bathroom floors occasionally wish it had a bigger footprint.[5] | Memory Foam Bath Mat 50 X 80 Cm: Choose this if you want a plush memory-foam mat for a very soft, warm feel underfoot after a shower — reviewers describe the thick cushioning as a daily highlight. It measures 20 by 32 inches (50 x 80 cm), has a non-skid synthetic rubber backing that must sit on a stable, clean, dry floor, and washes on a cold delicate cycle dried flat. Be aware that reported absorbency and drying speed vary widely between units — some stay wet and slick for hours — and the actual color is often darker than shown online, especially for the green shade.[6] |

Love it!
Great size, really fast to dry, feels nice underfoot.
Works great!
I use it for reclaiming clay, and it works really well. May purchase another one for actual use as a bathmat.
Works as expected
Nothing wrong with it, docked one star because it’s a bit smaller than I would have liked
