Bath Mats & Bath Rugs
Cotton bath mats in animal, star, cloud and custom shapes — GOTS organic and OEKO-TEX certified, built to a children's safety brief
Kids' Bath
Children's bath mats are a thinly-served shelf, because shaped cutting, tighter safety requirements and smaller runs put most manufacturers off. We make them properly: same cotton, same tufting floor and same certifications as our main bath programme, cut to child-scale sizes and finished to a stricter brief — no detachable parts, no glued-on features, and motifs built into the pile rather than printed on, so they survive the wash cycle a child's bath mat actually gets. Organic certification matters more here than in any other bath category, so GOTS is our default recommendation.
Category
Children's bath mats sit awkwardly for most manufacturers — shaped cutting, tighter safety requirements, smaller runs, more sampling. Which is exactly why the shelf is thinly served, and why retailers building a kids' bath assortment usually struggle to find a factory that will engage properly with it.
We make them. Same cotton, same tufting floor and same certifications as our main bath programme, cut to child-scale sizes and finished to a stricter brief: no detachable parts, no glued-on features, motif built into the pile rather than printed on so it survives the wash cycle a child's bath mat actually gets. Organic certification matters more in this category than in any other, because it is the thing parents look for — so we default to recommending GOTS here.
| Constructions | Tufted cotton pile, flat-woven reversible, crochet and die-cut shaped. Motifs built into the pile rather than printed on, so they survive the wash cycle a child's bath mat actually gets. |
|---|---|
| Shapes | Star, heart, cloud, rainbow, flower, and animal silhouettes — bear, bunny, elephant, lion, whale, dinosaur, cat and more. Custom shapes to your own artwork are straightforward; see shaped bath mats. |
| Fibres | 100% cotton as standard. GOTS certified organic cotton strongly recommended for this category — it is the single biggest purchase driver for parents. |
| Safety | OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 tested for harmful substances. No small detachable parts, no loose trims, no beads or buttons. Appliqué and embroidery are secured to withstand pulling — we do not use glued-on features on children's product. |
| Non-slip | Non-slip latex backing available and generally recommended for this category. Latex-free and TPR alternatives where a market or a retailer specification requires it. |
| Sizes | 40×60 cm and 45×70 cm are the practical running sizes for kids' bathrooms. Shaped mats are quoted to the bounding box, so tell us the overall footprint you need on shelf. |
| Coordination | Kids' bath mats sell hardest as part of a set. We can coordinate matching hooded towels, wash mitts, shower curtains and nursery cushions from the same palette and motif family. |
| MOQ & lead time | Low, flexible MOQs. Sampling 2–3 weeks including a shape prototype; bulk lead time confirmed against your ship window. |
Shapes & Motifs
Our running shape library, all producible in tufted cotton with non-slip backing. Custom silhouettes to your own artwork are straightforward — send a flat vector or even a clean sketch with dimensions and we will prototype it.
The two best-selling nursery silhouettes. Work in tonal single colours as well as brights.
Simple, gender-neutral shapes that carry a wide palette range.
Bear, bunny, elephant, lion, whale, dinosaur and cat — the strongest-selling group internationally.
Multi-colour tufted bands; the shape that lets you use an entire palette in one SKU.
Your own character or brand shape, prototyped from a vector file or a clean sketch.
Standard rectangle with a tufted motif — the value entry point into a kids' bath range.
Current Range
Sixteen shapes currently in production, all tufted in cotton with a non-slip backing and finished to a children's safety brief — no detachable parts and no glued-on features. Every design can be recoloured to your palette, resized and relabelled, and any of them can be produced in GOTS certified organic cotton on request.

AH-BT-KM-001
Peach silhouette with tufted lettering in a blush and sage palette. Cut to the fruit outline and bound around the full perimeter, so the shape holds through repeated washing.

AH-BT-KM-002
The bolder colourway of our peach shape, with looped script lettering raised above a cut-pile ground. A strong shelf piece for children's bath and nursery ranges.

AH-BT-KM-003
Half-round watermelon with tufted script and contrast rind. The half-moon footprint sits neatly against a bath panel, which makes it more practical than a full round in a small bathroom.

AH-BT-KM-004
The plain-slice version of our watermelon shape — same half-round footprint without lettering, for retailers who prefer motif over text.

AH-BT-KM-005
Round mat with a sun face tufted in gold on a deep blue ground. High-contrast colour that photographs well in e-commerce grids and reads clearly from across a room.

AH-BT-KM-006
Rectangular mat with a tonal rainbow arch and hand-finished pom-poms at each corner. The pom-poms are stitched, not glued, so they survive laundering and meet children's product requirements.

AH-BT-KM-007
Flower-shaped mat with a petal outline and tufted centre detail. Gender-neutral shape that carries a wide colour range — shown here in a soft denim blue.

AH-BT-KM-008
The mauve colourway of our daisy shape. Coordinates with the blue version for a two-SKU shelf story across boys' and girls' ranges.

AH-BT-KM-009
Half-round mat in banded multicolour, tufted so each band sits slightly proud of the next. The widest palette in the range in a single SKU.

AH-BT-KM-010
Round mat with a toadstool motif and leaf detail in a woodland palette. Suits the nature and forest-nursery trend that has run strongly in children's interiors.

AH-BT-KM-011
Half-round mat with a full floral field and arched lettering. The most detailed tufting in the kids' range — a step-up price point that still merchandises alongside the simpler shapes.

AH-BT-KM-012
Cloud silhouette in a soft cream with a simple sleeping face. The quietest design in the range and the easiest to place in a nursery where parents want the palette calm.

AH-BT-KM-013
Irregular egg silhouette with a gold yolk on a cream ground. A humorous shape that has performed well internationally in kids' and student ranges alike.

AH-BT-KM-014
Animal-face silhouette with tufted spot detail in gold, rust and charcoal. Part of our safari group, which is the strongest-selling motif family in children's bath internationally.

AH-BT-KM-015
Giraffe head with ears and horns cut into the silhouette — the most complex shape we cut, and a good demonstration of what our binding can hold. Coordinates with the leopard for a safari programme.

AH-BT-KM-016
Round cream mat with outlined navy lettering. The most gender-neutral piece in the range and a good entry SKU for a retailer testing children's bath.
Compliance
Every construction on this page can be produced to certified standards. Which certificate applies depends on the yarn and the programme, so we confirm it in writing at sampling stage — and the certificate travels with the shipment, not just the sales pitch.
Global Organic Textile Standard — for programmes built on certified organic cotton, covering the fibre and the processing chain through to the finished kids' bath mat.
Tested for harmful substances on the finished article. Our default certification for bath programmes, and the one most retail buyers ask for first.
Global Recycled Standard and Organic Content Standard, for recycled-content and blended-organic programmes where full GOTS is not the right fit.
Sedex registered, SA 8000, BSCI, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 — the audit trail large retail accounts require before onboarding.

Buyer Questions
They are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 tested for harmful substances, and we build them to a stricter construction brief than our adult range: no small detachable parts, no loose trims, no beads or buttons, and no glued-on features. Appliqué and embroidery are stitched to withstand pulling. Where a specific market has an additional children's product requirement, tell us at sampling and we will build to it.
Commercially, it is the single biggest purchase driver in this category — parents look for certification on children's product far more than on their own. We default to recommending GOTS certified organic cotton for kids' bath mats for exactly that reason. See our organic bath mats page for what the certificate actually covers.
Yes. Send a flat vector file, or even a clean scaled sketch, and we will prototype the silhouette. We will tell you honestly if a shape is impractical to cut and bind at volume, and suggest the nearest workable version. We will not reproduce a third party's licensed character without evidence you hold the licence.
40×60 cm and 45×70 cm are the practical running sizes. Shaped mats are quoted to the bounding box rather than the silhouette, so tell us the overall footprint you need on shelf and we will work back from that.
Yes, and it is how the category sells best. We can match hooded towels, wash mitts, shower curtains and nursery cushions to the same palette and motif family, so the range merchandises as a set rather than a single SKU.
Yes, and we generally recommend it for this category. Standard non-slip latex, or latex-free and TPR alternatives where a retailer specification requires it. Note that standard latex backing is not GOTS-compliant — if you want both organic certification and a non-slip back, we will talk you through the options at sampling.
Request the kids' bath mat catalogue with the full shape library, or send us your own artwork and we will prototype the silhouette.
