No one likes to step out of the shower on to a cold tile bathroom floor so a bath rug is a necessity. In my opinion a memory foam bath rug is very much needed. When you come home and take a shower after a long day at work any extra relief your feet can get is very much needed and with this memory foam bath rug you get that little bit of extra love and tenderness. Not all memory foam bath rugs are created equally but this one is really great, my dog even loves to lay on it while he waits for me to get out of the shower. Thankfully dog hair does not stick on this rug very much at all so the puppy naps are not a problem. When the rug needs washing I can just toss it in the washing machine since it is machine washable.
