Con-Tact Brand Grip Premium
The Con-Tact Grip Premium is the liner I have used most. Soft on top, grippy on the bottom, easy to cut to drawer size with kitchen scissors. It stays put under heavy utensils and wipes clean with a damp cloth. Comes in long rolls that line a full kitchen with one pack.
I have relined kitchen drawers in three homes, and these five drawer liners survived utensils, spills, and constant opening without sliding around.
I moved into a new house last year and discovered every kitchen drawer was bare wood that scratched silverware and rattled with every open. After lining all 14 drawers with different brands to compare, I settled on a clear hierarchy of which liners actually work. Here are the five I would buy again without hesitation.
| Liner | Material | Cuttable | Best For |
| — | — | — | — |
| Con-Tact Brand Grip Premium | Foam grip | Yes | Best overall |
| Duck Brand Smooth Top EasyLiner | Foam top | Yes | Utensil drawers |
| Macbeth Collection Adhesive | Vinyl adhesive | Yes | Permanent shelf install |
| Gorilla Grip Original | Foam grip | Yes | Heavy items like dishes |
| Bambusi Bamboo Drawer Liners | Bamboo | Pre-cut sizes | Premium look and feel |

Con-Tact Brand Grip Premium
The Con-Tact Grip Premium is the liner I have used most. Soft on top, grippy on the bottom, easy to cut to drawer size with kitchen scissors. It stays put under heavy utensils and wipes clean with a damp cloth. Comes in long rolls that line a full kitchen with one pack.
Duck Brand Smooth Top EasyLiner
The Duck EasyLiner is the smoother sibling. Same grip backing but a smoother top surface, which is better for silverware drawers where you do not want the foam pattern showing through. Slightly thinner than Con-Tact, which makes it easier to cut around drawer organizers.
Macbeth Collection Adhesive
For shelves and cabinet floors where you want a permanent decorative finish, the Macbeth adhesive liners are excellent. Vinyl with peel-and-stick backing, dozens of patterns, and easy to wipe down. Removal is harder, so use them where you do not plan to change.
Gorilla Grip Original
For drawers holding heavy items - dishes, glassware, cast iron pieces - the Gorilla Grip is thicker and grippier than the standard foam liners. Cushions impact when you stack heavy plates and keeps them from sliding when you open the drawer hard. Pricier per square foot.
Bambusi Bamboo Drawer Liners
For a premium finished look, Bambusi makes pre-cut bamboo drawer liners that turn cheap drawers into something furniture-quality. Real bamboo with felt backing. Limited to standard drawer sizes, but where they fit, they look beautiful. Significantly pricier than foam.
Common questions
Non-adhesive grip liners are easier to install and replace, and they are what I recommend for most kitchen drawers. Adhesive liners stick permanently, which is fine for high-traffic shelves but a pain to remove when they wear out.
Every 2 to 3 years for most kitchens. Watch for permanent stains, tears at drawer corners, or loss of grip on the bottom. A liner that has stopped gripping is just dirt collecting in your drawer.
