The problem: wet bath mats
The problem we set out to solve.
If more than one person lives in your home, you know this moment. You step out of the shower, and your bath mat (or towel, let’s be honest) is already cold and damp. From your partner’s earlier shower or the kids’ bath this morning. A textile mat holds that moisture for hours and starts to smell after a few uses never quite feels clean. Because of this, you probably end up washing it more often than you’d like.
Diatomaceous earth: the fossilised remains of tiny aquatic algae, built up over millions of years. Our mat is filled with millions of microscopic pores. When your wet feet touch the surface, those pores pull the water instantly away from your skin, deep into the mat, where it can evaporate later.
The result: the mat feels dry again within minutes. Even in a busy household, shower after shower, it’s dry before the next person needs it.
Yes, our bath mat is expensive
AUD 130 is a lot for a bath mat. Here's why we're comfortable asking for it
Let’s start with the thing you already noticed: our bath mat costs AUD 130. We totally agree: that’s a lot of money. You can buy a perfectly decent bath mat for a tenth of that price, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise.
So what are you actually paying for? Not just a rectangle of stone with some paint on it, but a mat you can trust everyday.
That trust has to be earned, and we don’t ask you to take our word for any of it. The mat is independently tested to ANSI A326.3-2022, the American national standard for slip resistance on hard surfaces, and it’s compliant with California Proposition 65, one of the strictest chemical-safety standards in the world. Even more certifications are on the way, we expect them in a few weeks. Every batch that leaves our factory is inspected against strict standards of our own: if a batch doesn’t pass, it doesn’t ship, even though that slows us down. The stone itself is high-grade diatomaceous earth, because not all diatomaceous stone is equal, and the higher grade absorbs faster, dries faster, and lasts longer. And if something does go wrong within two years, our 2-Year Care Promise covers you, on top of the warranty you already have by law.
Where your AUD 130 actually goes
What sits inside the price of one mat
Here’s the honest math behind our price.
Before a single mat reaches your bathroom, we pay for high-grade diatomaceous earth, careful manufacturing, 2-year care promise, and quality control of every batch. We pay to get the mat from our factory to your door: freight, warehousing, packaging, the last stretch of the journey. We pay for independent safety testing and certification, because a mat you can trust has to be tested by people who don’t profit from the result. And once it’s yours, we pay again: free shipping and free returns for every customer, including the ones who send the mat back. We believe that a fair trial is worthwhile because we want every customer to make informed decisions.
Then there’s the cost of being a small company. Running a brand costs money. Think of website hosting, payment processing, the tools that keep a shop upright, and advertising, the biggest quiet cost of all. We’re a small brand without a famous name, so we have to advertise to be found. For a company our size, that is one of our largest expenses. It’s painful, and we’re honest about it.
AUD 130 is by no means our profit per mat. Far from it. After all of that is paid, what remains keeps a small company alive and funds making the next batch better than the last.

How we use AI, and why we spend on real people
Assisted by AI that has to obey European privacy law. Run by humans
You hear a lot about AI replacing people, but that’s not how we run this company.
We do use AI, and we’re honest about it. It comes from Mistral, a European company that has to comply with the GDPR, one of the strictest privacy laws in the world. Privacy matters to us, so we hold ourselves to the same standard. We use AI where it genuinely helps: keeping the business organised, turning your feedback into product improvements, planning, and support.
But the work you actually see is done by people. Freelancers manage our social media, create our content, run our ads, and build and improve this website. Real people, doing real work, while being paid fairly for it.
That’s a choice. We could automate more and spend less. Instead, we put money in the pockets of real people, rather than sending every dollar to tech companies that are already rich enough.
When you buy from us, you support that choice.
The most sustainable bath mat is the one you don't replace
Honest about our footprint while being better than the alternative.
We won’t pretend our mat is footprint-free. It’s made of stone, it travels across the ocean, and one day it will reach the end of its life.
Let’s compare our mat to the alternative: An ordinary textile bathmat needs to go in the washing machine again and again: warm water, detergent, electricity, hours of drying. And even with all that care, it wears out. Within a few months you throw it away, buy a new one, and the cycle repeats.
Our mat doesn’t need washing because it’s solid stone. One mat instead of many means a lower total burden on the environment over the years, and money saved. The 2-Year Care Promise, on top of your statutory warranty, helps you keep it in use even longer: if something goes wrong, we fix it instead of leaving you to buy a replacement.
We also watch how the mat travels. We ship by sea rather than by air. It’s slower, and that’s the point: it emits far less. And we’re not finished. We keep looking for ways to lower our footprint further. That work will never be done, and we don’t want it to be.
This mat isn't for everyone
It's stone, not a soft rug
One last piece of honesty before you decide: this is a piece of stone, not a fluffy rug. If your idea of luxury is sinking your toes into something soft when you step out of the shower, this mat will disappoint you, and we’d rather let you know that right now.
Order the mat and live with it: stand on it every morning, let the whole household drip on it, watch it dry before the next person needs it. If you don’t love it within 30 days, send it back and pay nothing, because return shipping is on us. And long after those 30 days you’re still covered: our 2-Year Care Promise sits on top of your statutory warranty, so if something goes wrong with the mat, we’ll take care of it.
Which leaves one promise from us: this will be the last bath mat you’ll need to buy for quite a while. We don’t say that lightly. We say it because the mat earns it, and because we’re the ones who have to keep it.
A LITTLE CHANGE. ALREADY LOVED.

What makes TubTreasures different from other brands?
We genuinely care about our product. This is why we stay closely involved in material selection, production, and quality control. Every batch is inspected before dispatch.
On top of that, each mat comes with a free rubber anti slip underlay and a Surface Refresh accessory, so you can restore its absorbency instead of replacing it.
We back all this with our 2 year Care Promise, free shipping, and 30 day returns, because we would rather you buy with confidence than hesitation.
We are also a young, small brand with big dreams, which means we genuinely care about every customer. You can always email us at info@tubtreasures.co or chat with a real human on WhatsApp.
How do i clean and maintain it?
Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth when needed and let it air dry. If absorption slows over time, lightly sand the surface with the included sandpaper to refresh the pores.
What does the 2-Year Care Promise cover?
If your mat has a manufacturing defect or wears out unexpectedly quickly under normal use within two years of purchase, our support team will make it right with a replacement. You can email us at support@tubtreasures.co or chat with us on whatsapp
