Bath mat in the test 2022

The bathtub mat from the FLIPLINE brand made a very good impression in the test. The product makes the bathtub non-slip and the person bathing does not slip while bathing. The bathtub mat measures 100×40 cm and is easily attached to the bathtub floor thanks to the existing suction nubs. The mat is available in three colors (white, blue and black), allowing the customer to choose the perfect design.
The product is made of robust, BPA-free plastic, which is also safe for small children.
In addition, there are no unpolished edges or processing defects on the bath mat. The manufacturer is confident in its product and offers customers a 30-day money-back guarantee if they do not like the product.

We have looked at and tested the product in detail in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. The product is subjected to our test procedure from the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling.
To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum possible number of points per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weightings.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

The FLIPLINE bath mat arrived for our test in the typical shipping box, so it was easy to open by removing the adhesive strip and was delivered undamaged.
Inside the box was the bath mat wrapped in plastic film. The product comes with an instruction manual and pictures make it very easy to use the mat. Unfortunately, plastic was used in the packaging to prevent soiling. In this case, the product was fully protected and the bath mat was therefore in perfect condition.
Unfortunately, the packaging of the bath mat is not completely recyclable.
The first impression is very good, as neither the product nor the packaging used was damaged.

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

After unpacking, there were operating and care instructions as well as the bath mat on the base of the bath.
Installation and use went smoothly as the instructions were very precise. Unfortunately, the customer is not given a customer hotline to contact.
However, customers can contact FLIPLINE’s customer service via the e-mail address provided. This information is printed directly on the outer banderole and can be easily seen by the customer.
All in all, this is a very good way to send a product.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

The bath mat from the FLIPLINE brand makes a very good visual impression in the test. In addition to the simple design, it has no manufacturing defects. The bath mat is made of TPE and is therefore perfectly flexible for use in the bath.
The material used ensures that it is 100% BPA-free and prevents the formation of mold.
The product impresses with its relatively low weight and sturdy workmanship. The customer is supplied with a bath mat that can serve them well.
Information about sustainability can be found on the Amazon product page or on the packaging – here it is particularly emphasized that the material used is Natura TPE, which has earned it the ‘Climate-Pledge-Friendly’ award from Amazon. Due to the high-quality materials used, we also assume a high level of durability.

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

We really enjoyed using the FLIPLINEbath mat during the test. Installation is child’s play and can be carried out by anyone thanks to the good installation instructions .
In our test, the bathtub mat was attached to a standard bathtub to prevent grandparents from slipping in the bathtub.
The bath mat is more than suitable for the needs of the bathroom, as it prevents people from slipping while bathing.
In a standard bathtub, the mat fills the entire floor.
The bath mat looks great in any bathroom. It is particularly important to emphasize that the bath mat stays firmly in place, preventing anyone from slipping.

ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.1 stars. One criticism is that the pimples are very prickly, making small children in particular reluctant to sit on the mat. Many customers like the fact that this mat does not smell chemical or like plastic, the quality is very good and the mat does not slip when in use. In our practical test, we were also able to confirm these points, but we found that the nubs take some getting used to and after this phase are pleasantly reminiscent of a massage.

Prices of up to €33.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available for as little as €5.99. The FLIPLINE bath mat is therefore in the mid-price segment in our test with a price of €19.89. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
