This rug looked fluffy when I took it from the package, but when it got wet it immediately was saturated wherever a drop had fallen so. It's ability to absorb water is so slight that stepping onto the bath mat with a little dip of water from the shower spray on it is like stepping onto a thin carpet with big squishy wet spots. It is uncomfortable and takes a long time to dry out even hung over a rail.  It is also flat now and not the least bit cozy or attractive looking.  I plan to wash these rugs this week and hope that they can at least be made to look fluffy, if only briefly, when fresh from the an air fluff dryer cycle.
