Bath mats that don't stay wet

Does anyone know of a bath mat I can buy made of a material that won't stay wet please?
At this time of year when the underfloor heating isn't on I hate stepping out of the shower onto a bath mat that is still damp from the previous family member who has had a shower.

We have chenille loop type ones that we just hang up to dry in between uses, could that be an option?

Don’t you hang it up after use? I think all mats need hanging over bath or shower edge or on a towel rail to dry properly. They won’t dry on the floor

They still take forever to dry unless you can stick out on the line in the garden

Thank you all for replying, I appreciate your help.

I actually haven't got anywhere to hang the bath mat up to dry in my new house, and I only have a shower not a bath now so can't drape it over the bath to dry like I used to.

I suppose I was wondering if you can buy bath mats in a different type of material that you can step on to, but that don't remain sodden (silicone or something like that?).

Have a look at cork bath mats

I like a thinnish bath mat rather than big thick ones as they dry quicker and smaller to put in the machine to washer. Always hang over bath to dry between uses.

we don't have a bath mat but use (hand) towels.
I change it before I shower (seem to be the only one us 5 who does that).

by the sink we have a bobbly micro fibre mat which seems to dry quickly. I think it's from ikea.
