We got a bath mat from Target a few years ago that I am absolutely in love with. It’s just a braided cotton mat similar to the ones they use in hotels. No rubberized bottom, no pile, just woven cotton. I throw it in the wash every week or so and it’s held its color and shape remarkably well for a couple of years now. I think it was like $15 or so.
Pretty sure this is the one. https://www.target.com/p/performance-cotton-bath-mats-threshold-153/-/A-52346648?preselect=52333716#lnk=sametab
Carpet is disgusting.
