Best Bath Mats For Seniors – My opinion
I don’t know if I was able to find the best bath mat for seniors. I did a lot of research and the ones I found here came highly recommended and with a lot of high star ratings.
There is, again, no one size fits all and every bathtub is also not the same. Try to find out what material your tub is. A refinished tub in combination with a rubber mat with no suction cups appears not to be the best combination. I read this a few times.
If you have a bath mat that you can recommend you can let me know and I will see if I can add it here.
