Use this reference document when specifying bath mats for hotel programmes, retail sets or institutional supply from Pakistan. Includes standard size charts for major international markets, GSM guidance by application, backing type comparison and a specification template for your RFQ.

1. Standard Bath Mat Sizes by Market

Product	Size (cm)	Size (inches)	Primary market
Bath mat — standard	50 × 80 cm	20" × 31"	Global hospitality, EU/UK retail
Bath mat — large	60 × 90 cm	24" × 35"	USA, Middle East premium
Bath mat — XL	70 × 110 cm	28" × 43"	Luxury retail and resort

2. GSM Grades by Application

GSM (tufted)	Application	Pile height (approx.)	Durability (commercial wash)
600–800 GSM	Budget institutional, promotional	8–10 mm	Good — 80–100 cycles
800–1,000 GSM	Mid-market hospitality, retail sets	10–13 mm	Very good — 120–150 cycles
1,000–1,400 GSM	4-star and 5-star hotel standard	13–16 mm	Excellent — 150–200 cycles
1,400–2,000 GSM	Luxury hotel, department store retail	16–20 mm	Excellent — 200+ cycles

GSM is measured on the complete finished mat including backing. A '1,200 GSM' specification must be confirmed by weighing the whole mat divided by surface area — not the pile fabric alone.

3. Anti-Slip Backing Comparison

Backing type	Max wash temp	Anti-slip rating	OEKO-TEX scope	Application
SBR latex (standard)	60°C	High	Must cover full mat	Hotel / institutional standard
Natural rubber latex	60°C	Very high	Must cover full mat	5-star hotel, premium retail
TPR (thermoplastic rubber)	60°C+	Very high	Must cover full mat	High-durability retail
PVC spray	40°C	Medium	REACH check required	Budget / value segment
None (flat woven)	Machine wash	Weight-based	Not applicable	Woven / hammam retail

4. OEKO-TEX Certification Scope Requirement

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 must be tested on the complete bath mat including the anti-slip backing. A certificate covering 'terry pile fabric' only does not certify the backing chemistry. When requesting OEKO-TEX certification, specify: 'Complete finished bath mat including [backing type] anti-slip backing — Article Category II (products with skin contact).'
