Abstract

A mat (10) is formed from four tiles (12, 14, 16, 18). Each tile (12, 14, 16, 18) consists of a grid (20) formed from a first set of parallel bars (22) and a second set of parallel bars (24). The grid (20) defines a plurality of square apertures (28) between the bars (22, 24). On the upper surface of the grid (20) are located a plurality of convex protrusions (30). The protrusions (30) are arranged in an ordered pattern to provide a massage to a body part of the user pressed against the protrusions. The mat (10) is of particular use as a bath or shower mat.
