Quick answer

Put the large bath mat where you step out of the shower or tub, the smaller floor mat in front of the sink, and the U-shaped mat around the toilet base. Keep all three on the floor outside the shower, flat and clear of the door, and on a clean, dry floor.

A 3-piece set gives a bathroom one matching look and covers the three spots where floors get wet or cold. Here’s how to place each piece of a Mattona™ set.

What’s in a Mattona™ 3-piece set

Piece Size Where it goes
Bath mat 81 × 50 cm (31.9 × 19.7 in) Shower or tub exit
Floor mat 60 × 43 cm (23.6 × 16.9 in) In front of the sink
U-shaped toilet mat 60 × 50 cm (23.6 × 19.7 in), opening about 26 × 14 cm (10.2 × 5.5 in) Around the toilet base

Beside the bath or shower

Place the large mat on the floor where your feet land when you step out. That’s where the most water drips, so the most absorbent spot matters most here. Keep the mat flat, with the floor and the backing clean and dry. Absorbent floor mats aren’t designed for use inside a bath or shower tray.

In front of the sink

Center the smaller mat on the basin, where you stand to wash your hands and brush your teeth. Check that it doesn’t catch the door or stick out into a walkway.

Around the toilet base

The U-shaped piece is a floor mat that wraps around the front of the toilet base. It isn’t a seat or lid cover. Before ordering, check that your toilet base fits the opening. Our toilet mat guide shows how to measure.

Beyond the bathroom

The same quick-dry mats work anywhere floors get damp or cold: in front of the washing machine, at the kitchen sink or by the back door. Use them on a flat, dry floor, and keep them out of walkways where edges could catch a foot.

HOME lettering or plain

The Original set has a subtle HOME print; the No Text set is plain. Both have the same three pieces, sizes and materials, in Gray, Black, Light Blue and Brown. Need just one piece? The U-shaped toilet mat and the rectangular bath mat are also sold on their own.

Keep the mats working

Check that each mat lies flat and doesn’t move before you step on it. Wash the set about once a week and let it dry fully. Stop using any mat whose backing is damaged or no longer grips.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these mats inside the shower?

No. Absorbent floor mats belong on the floor outside the shower or tub. Inside, use a mat made for wet use, such as a suction-cup PVC mat or non-slip strips.

Are the HOME and No Text sets the same size?

Yes. Both sets have the same three pieces, sizes and materials. Only the print is different.

Can I buy a single piece?

Yes. The U-shaped toilet mat and the rectangular bath mat are sold separately, in the same colors.
