Seniors swear by this 'effective and safe' Amazon anti-slip bath mat to help prevent falls in the shower — and it's 50% off ahead of Black Friday
Shoppers say it has a "cushion-like feeling" and call it the "best shower mat ever."
It only takes a quick second to fall and injure yourself, which is why it's essential to prevent unnecessary slips. According to HealthLink BC, thousands of older adults fall and hurt themselves every year. The organization recommends installing non-skid mats inside your shower or tub to help prevent unexpected injuries.
The Gorilla Grip Patented Bath Mat is currently 50 per cent off as part of Amazon's early Black Friday deals — bringing the price down to just $20. It has nearly 62,000 five-star ratings, and shoppers say it's "effective and safe." If you're interested, keep scrolling to see more about the deal and what customers have to say about the product.
This mat helps prevent slips in the shower and has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon and more than 83,000 reviews.
The details
This textured, plastic bath mat has hundreds of suction cups that adhere to the bottom of your tub and shower to keep it firmly in place. It also has dozens of drainage holes that easily allow water to flow under the mat, helping to prevent stagnant water from sitting on the mat and in your tub.
The mat itself is 35 x 16 inches, and it comes in 20 different colour options, including transparent and opaque choices.
If it's starting to look a little dirty, all you need to do is throw it in your washing machine and then let it air dry.
