Has anyone tried this mat in a claw-foot tub? These tubs have significant sloping, and not much flat surface. Will a mat like this work?

I wouldn't buy. The little suction cups don't even work on my standard tub/shower. The mat slips and slide all over the place.

I can see where that could be an issue - metal on a tile floor. We use ours in a bathroom and it is nestled against a wall an a tub surround wall. Any chance you can fit it in a corner somewhere that it would still be usable? Another idea would be to look at your local hardware of home improvement store (HD, Lowe's, etc) for some type of sticky or non-sliding pad to stick to the wastebasket and would limit or eliminate slippage on the tile floor.Good luck,DLC

I have this mat on a wood floor. It is connected to a second mat. They do not slip. They are heavy. Those using it are 70 a 165. They do dance and gymnastics in it. One mat is not enough to cover what they like to do.

I use this mat and it is non slip so I believe you can safely use. The only thing I would think that could cause a problem is if your cats claws should get caught in the slits. Good luck!

This mat is not what I'd call "cushy." It is stiff black plastic/rubber, ridged on top -- think of an outside doormat. I would not recommend "just socks" because your feet would likely get too hot. I use mine in a workshop that has an unheated, uninsulated plywood floor, and I wear shoes -- usually workboots -- out there. The mat is perfect for that sort of application.

I'm not sure because I didn't try it in the bath tub. I used it in a extra large shower. I loved the mat but it is not strong enough in the center.

Before filling my tub, I phoned the manufacturer Watkins Manufacturing 760-598-6464. I told them the area desired for the tub was not flat but had a patio slope which was less than an inch per 75 inches. They informed me that my hot tub was ok as long as the water level was above the intake filter. Call the Mfg. if in doubt and give them your drop per 75 inches from one side of the tub to the other and they will let you know if your tub is structurally sound enough to handle the slope. They said mine was fine without being completely level.

Good question - since most clawfoot tubs are in older houses with tall ceilings. We just used a peice of chain to lengthen the rod. It was a rental house, and we're already moved on so I don't have a picture. By the way, this product worked for us - it is definitely a little more on the less-quality side of things (just light-gauge materials, overall cheap feel to it). It worked for what we wanted, and would buy one again. If it were my house, I would just get rid of the tub for something more usable. You end up with nowhere to put shampoo or soap.

Hi Jessica, I haven't owned a clawfoot before but my guess would be no, it isn't wide enough to go all the way around. Just a guess tho.

This piece really needs a flat surface to sit on. In my experience, most tubs are not perfectly flat so I do believe you might have a problem with the piece scratching your tub.

I think it should work. it will hook over the rounded rim of your tub, and the bracket is down lower, and it has a nob that tightens it. If your rounded rim at top is too narrow , The width if the top part that rests in the top edge measures 3 1/2 inches. If the top rounded rim of your tub is smaller, Im sure you could wedge a piece of wood or plastic in to make it fit. Hopefully, maybe someone who has a claw foot tub, and has the bracket, will answer your question. I hope it will work for you because It is very sturdy, and so helpful. Goodluck. Sally

Is this safe to use in a childs bath tub that is only used for baths currently? The bottom of the bath tub is slightly textured and I can't find anything to prevent my daughter from sliding around. Everything I have tried doesn't stick very well and or moves around which isn't very safe.

It isn't a soft plastic and not really the best for kids in the tub. It only fits half of the bottom of the tub. My kids slip since it is only in a small area of the tub. I would go back to the bath mats that have the cartoon characters on them. Those are the best that I have used so far! But to answer your question, yes it does stick but it is a slippery mat.

Mine works fine with a ledge of about 1.5" at the back end and about one inch at the front end. (the ledge is wider toward to back of the tub narrowing toward the middle of the tub.) However, I would say a down sie of this bench is that it is difficult to keep clean at the area where it meets the inside ledge of the tub. Another reason to consider a shower stool/seat instead.

Honestly, I don't think it will work for your type of tub. The rollers use a catch inside the mount that is set and cannot be adjusted. I believe that the angle of your tub would cause the rollers to slope toward the tub. The only way that I could see this working is if you build a wedge behind the mount to account for the slope in your tub. Hope this helps.

I think it would fit. I used it in a small conventional tub. I think it may fit better in a footed tub. I found the height a slight issue. It did not adjust down enough for me. I was sitting near the top of the rim of the tub. I do however have a very small bathroom with a correspondingly compact tub. It is very good quality.

I'm sorry I am not sure as to what the thickness a carpet style mat is...the best I think I could answer you is that I believe it may be a bit thinner, but it is not too thin...a decent thickness...no spikes. It has a smooth side and then the other side a little rough. Hopefully that makes sense. We have it on a wood floor and it has worked well for us...we have two.
