dark blue bathmats

[Katherine]

Hi, just before christmas I was sent a small square baby catalogue which was a bit pricey but had dark blue bathmats for £9.99. Needless to say I've lost it now and now we need a new bathmat!

Given that our mats always discolour really quickly I like the idea of dark blue. Argos have one in their catalogue but whenever I check it says its not in stock. Anyone know which catalogue I'm describing or anywhere I can get comft dark blue mats - or better still where I can get a full length mat in a colour other than white!

Bit confused. I thought you meant bathmats to go in the bath - do you mean on the bathroom floor (as in Sobernow's wooden floors)? We have a blue (in the bath) rubber bathmat from Ikea - and I'm sure it was a lot less than £7.

Sorry yes I mean the ones that go in the actual bath to make it safe. I've bought cheap ones in the past and they are a bit uncomfy to sit on (kids get rings on their bums) so prefer the more cushioned variety.

PS would love to go to ikea but it takes over an hour from here. Same with John Lewis although I might peep at their website. Most places only seem to do white or other pale colours.

Ikea's is brilliant size (lge) and lovely deep blue and very cheep but looks and feels like quality. I waited months before they had the deep blue back in though!

John Lewsi.com do have the dark blue ones I like but they are £12.50 and gues what - out of stock. They did have 7 white ones though (grr) The one from Ikea sounds perfect but don't want to go all that way if they don't have it in. Think the rest of the nation must be thinking the same as me and buying blue!

Just got a new catalogue this morning The Great Little Trading Company (kids products) and in it is .... an extra-long blue bath mat! It says it covers the whole bath and is comfortable! Not sure if it's dark blue (no picture) but could be what you're looking for. Their website is www.gltc.co.uk, phone no 0870 850 6000, the product code is G6047, price £10.99. HTH.

Wow. Perfect. I'm off to place my order. Thanks
