GORILLA GRIP Bath Pillow for Tub, 6 Strong Suction Cups, 4D Mesh, White

The hard, steep end of a standard bathtub is the reason many soaks are over in five minutes. This pillow puts a thick padded headrest and a back panel between you and that wall: 16.5 × 16.1 in (42 × 41 cm) of foam under an open 4D mesh cover, a headrest the maker gives as 3.5 in (9 cm) thick, and six suction cups with pull tabs to get it off again.

The feature set makes it a practical choice for long, quiet soaks in a smooth acrylic or porcelain tub. The mesh is open so water drains and air moves through it, the maker calls it hypoallergenic and quick-drying, and when it has seen a few oatmeal baths it goes in the washing machine; the built-in hook hangs it up between uses.

Tip: Press it on before the water reaches the cups, on a clean, dry stretch of the tub wall – the cups grip much better that way. Sit back once in the half-full tub to check that the headrest sits under your neck, not behind your head.
