Combining the bathroom mat and the bathroom scale into one product, the BBalance Mat will tell you your weight while keeping your bathroom floor dry… but it does more than just that. Outfitted with a body-composition scale, a posture analyzer, and even a sensor to recognize your footprint (so it works for all the members of your house), the BBalance Mat gives you an in-depth analysis of your health just as you step out of the bath. The mat immediately recognizes you as you step on it, calculates your weight, body composition, BMI, posture, and balance, giving you a comprehensive look at your body’s stats from day to day. Oh, and since it senses your feet, it’ll also tell you which shoe size you are, just as a nifty little added benefit!

A winner of last year’s CES Innovation Award, the BBalance Mat is pretty impressive to begin with. It’s sure as hell more advanced than your bathroom mat, and probably more absorbent too… and provides all the stats a fancy body composition scale would. It’s also the first ever scale/mat to be able to recognize people via their footprint, making it easy to record your stats without needing to select a profile on your smartphone or tell the mat who you are. Sensors embedded within the BBalance can detect you by the shape and design of your foot, your posture, and a few other key aspects that are unique to you (just how advanced algorithms can identify people simply by the way they walk).
The BBalance Mat comes with a two-part design, featuring a soft, absorbent cotton upper layer (that’s removable and machine-washable), and an IP54 water-resistant digital board underneath, which has over 4,000 pressure sensors built into it to help the BBalance gather data. The minute you set your feet on the mat, the sensors create a ‘pressure map’ that helps the mat analyze your weight as well as your balance and posture. Electrodes on the digital board (and even electrodes woven into the cotton upper layer) help the mat capture an imprint of your body composition using bio-impedance, assessing a variety of parameters like BMI, muscle mass, fat percentage, etc to give you a comprehensive breakdown of your health.
Perfect to use while you’re brushing your teeth or while shaving, the mat’s designed to be easily integrated into your daily routine. Data gets sent to BBalance’s companion app, which lets you track your stats day by day as well as get AI-generated actionable advice on your health to help you improve your diet, balance, and posture, along with personalized exercises crafted especially to help you achieve your body goals. As you improve your diet, body flexibility, posture, and fitness, the mat acts as a report card, showing you your progress in real-time, allowing you to track your journey to a healthier lifestyle.
The mat’s digital board runs on WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy, interfacing with your smartphone, smartwatch, or any other device running BBalance’s app. It has about the same level of power consumption as your average bathroom scale (since most of the data collection, analysis, and AI-driven coaching happens on the app), and runs on a rechargeable 5000mAh battery that needs recharging once every 12 months, even with daily use. Speaking of which, the BBalance works best when it collects data on a daily basis, or even at different points in the day (because your body goes through changes through the 24 hours), and the smart mat can support up to weights of 200 kilograms (over 440 lbs) and even down to 10 kilograms, working for even kids as small as 3 years old – although for kids, the BBalance tracks their growth over time, and keeps you updated on their ever-growing shoe-size! You’d be right in having second thoughts about all that data being generated in the first place, although the CES Innovation Award-winning BBalance Mat’s makers assure that their mat and app encrypt and protect all user data, keeping in line with strict GDPR requirements in the EU.
All in all, the BBalance does quite a bit, from soaking the water off your feet as you leave the bath, to analyzing your body metrics for you… without fundamentally requiring any sort of learning curve whatsoever. All you do is stand on the BBalance Mat and it automatically gets to work, first recognizing you based on your unique footprint, and then making a comprehensive analysis of your health, balance, and posture. The BBalance Mat comes in 2 colorways – a classic black and white, and a pink and blue if you want to add a splash of color to your bathroom. The mat retails at $399 but you can grab it for a discounted $149 on Indiegogo using the link below. Each mat comes with the app that’s free to install and use, and a 12-month free trial of the special AI-coaching feature within it (after 12 months, the AI-coaching feature is charged at $4.99 per month). The mats begin shipping next year, and are covered by a 12-month warranty including coverage against defect and software assistance.
