Why does mine not feel like a towel, it feels more like a bathmat?

It heavy I used fabric softer ONCE and it's better. It's still heavy but more absorbing now

It has a spongy feel, but it is a hard sponge. I like the one I like mine and don't have any problem with it sticking to or hanging up on my clothing.

I had thought about a heating pad too - maybe on a low setting. There is a nice thick fluffy cushion inside that you can take out to wash. The underneath is not plastic - I'm not sure what it is. It looks like fabric but feels kind of paper-y. Just buy it and return if you don't like it. For $20 it's a pretty good deal.

Not really. It feels soft like corduroy , but it doesn't have ridges. It makes the "shadow " like microfiber when you run your palm across it. My puppy slobbers on it and my neighbor drops his cigarette ash on it and it comes clean very easily with just a baby wipe .

I did not have this problem. My dish towels were quite absorbent, even though they are very thin. I also do not use fabric softener when I dry them.

More of a mixture of both. The outside feels cloth-like and when you lie down it feels just a little stiff, but not so much that it really bothers me.

I don't use a towel. The mat is fine until it gets wet with sweat, then it gets very slippery, at least for me. I have been told by a friend that this improves over time with usage, that the mat requires a 'break in' period.

No, not like microfiber - I know that feels really weird when you sweat -- It is like a really thin, sort of worn wash cloth. That is the best way I know how to describe the texture of the mat. This is not to say that the mat is worn and not durable though. Love it, use it, and wash it once or twice a week for months now.

It doesn't have that moisture-sucking feel of microfiber, and it's not fluffy like a towel. It feels comfortable when you use it, like durable cotton clothing. I have one that's been used about 500 times over 5 years, and run though the washer and dryer every time. It's still perfectly usable, although the border stitching is starting to look a little ragged.

It's the shape of a large towel. Not as big as the beach blanket towels but a normal big bath towel.

I've never experienced that. It has a layer on top of the water proof material that feels like a cotton sheet.

No! Most of the times I wash the night after. I stay with it all day long and it doesn't feel grease.

Not sure but its feels similar to memory foam except it expands when wet. Its like a fine sponge

I haven't had that problem. I usually put a towel over the actual mat and hang the towel to air dry after using it. I then store the bamboo mat on its side, next to the bathtub. You may try putting the mat in strong sunshine for a few days, especially if you are in a dry climate. :/

It's not cottony soft it feels like paper but for diaper changing it does the trick. They keep urine from soaking a changing pad.

There are suction cups which look like suction cups. The mat is fine but it is smaller (shorter) than most bath mats. I wasn't aware of that when I bought it but kept it anyway.

It feels like a paper fiber rather than plastic.Even the Velcro attachments feel like the same paper fiber.
