Abstract
A combination weight scale and bath mat for use by a person on a support surface includes a weight scale having a base with a top side, a bottom side, at least one peripheral edge, and three or more feet fixed with the bottom side of the base and adapted to hold the base above the support surface. A circuit includes a power source, a strain gauge mechanism, and an illuminated display on the top side of the base. A flexible top cover fits over the top side of the base and includes an absorbent web of material through which the illuminated display is at least partially visible. The flexible top cover further includes a foam pad with apertures cooperative with the illuminated display such that light is transmitted through the apertures from the illuminated display through the absorbent web.
