This $25 Costco Bathroom Gem Will Instantly Upgrade Your Space (It’s So Spa-Like!)
Bathrooms are getting the spa treatment as people try to infuse a little extra zen into their everyday routines. Whether you’re one of the many who’ve added a luxe wet room to their homebuyer wish list, or you’re trying to upgrade your existing dingy bathroom with a few carefully curated products, Costco is selling a bath mat that will instantly transform your shower into a serene wellness oasis straight from vacation — and it completely eliminates a common post-shower problem.
Hear me out: While your choice of bath mat might not seem that important at first glance, they can completely change the function of your bathroom space. Not only does a damp bath mat look like it’s straight out of a college dorm bathroom, there’s also nothing worse than stepping out of the shower or a hot bath onto a squishy, cold, soggy mat.
When you’re sharing a bathroom with siblings, roommates, or a significant other, it’s basically impossible to avoid this. I’ve even had this issue with higher-end memory foam and expensive-looking sherpa-inspired fluffy mats, which can quickly get moldy while also potentially damaging the flooring underneath.
For just $24.99 online, Costco’s Seville Bamboo Bath Mat is a lot easier to keep dry thanks to its 100% wood material and sleek, slatted design. For the trendy design — which looks right at home in a fancy hotel or a magazine shoot — it’s deceptively affordable, low-maintenance, and small-space-friendly, while also being a more hygienic option than a fabric version.
Measuring 24 inches in length, 18 inches in width, and 0.84 inches in height, the bamboo bath mat takes up less space than a typical fabric mat while also being a lot easier to keep clean (no laundry required). Featuring nonskid feet that keeps the bamboo design in place even when it’s wet, the mat’s only upkeep is wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild detergent whenever it’s needed.
Happy customers say that the wooden bath mat stands the wear and tear of time — “Still looks brand-new after six months and love the feel and look of it,” one person wrote — while others said they liked them so much that they’d bought enough to cover their entire tile floor. “I bought a pair of these at the warehouse and plan to buy several more,” one person shared, calling out the product’s “great price” as well as how well it fits in a “narrow space.”
Costco customers can buy the bamboo bath mat in warehouses or online, but World Market also has a near-identical dupe online that’s around the same price. Their $29.99 water-resistant bamboo bath mat is slightly bigger, measuring 29 inches, instead of 25, with more space between the slats. The product has a lot of great reviews, as well as some different non-shower suggestions on how to use it throughout your home.
One World Market customer said they put one in their kitchen sink to protect the bottom of the sink, while others said that they use it outside of their outdoor tub or at the bottom of their portable shower to prevent their feet from getting dirty.
Some happy customers called out the piece’s pleasing aesthetic, saying, “We found this mat to be the perfect fit to our ‘spa like’ bathroom — added just the right touch!” They also said it was easy to put away when it’s not in use. “Originally bought this mat to save space in our small bathroom,” one buyer wrote. “I can just stand it up when it’s not in use. It dries quickly, it’s easy to clean, and it’s not too bulky to store.”
