Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really do not understand the 5-star reviews. I read them all and made what I thought was an informed decision, but I could not be more disappointed in this product. The only saving grace is that the mat is indeed comfortable for the feet. However, this mat never dries. It is still wet the next day. I spent 10 minutes this morning trying to wring out all the moisture and it still does not work. It does absorb the water and keeps it in. Did everyone else receive a different mat than me? I am so worried about mold and mildew with this, not to mention the never-ending supply of humidity that it produces in the bathroom by always being wet. MIght as well leave a bucket of water just sitting there, see how long it takes for bad things to happen. Frustrated and disappointed to say the least.
