Has anyone had any problems with them decomposing after a couple months, leaving particles all over the mat?

I have had no problem. I have them on kitchen chairs, rolling directly on a laminate floor. As I recall, most office chair mats have a rough surface. For that application a harder caster may be a better answer.

Used only a month and that has not happened as yet. but I haven't been particularly pleased with these. I'll be looking for some others.

No, have them on a new bamboo floor with no denting, scarring ...or anything bad. It's been a few months: so far, so good!

Mine are used directly on vinyl plank flooring and I don't have any problems. Maybe they would work better directly on the floor rather than on a mat.

No, but I had one of the plastic shells break after a couple of years. My chair sits on ceramis tile not a plastic mat.

Other than a little squeaking noise, the casters have been working fine. They have been on a ceramic tile floor for about two months and have not shown any signs of deterioration.

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had any issues except when I get really sweaty which isn't often. I never machine-wash my yoga mats cause that can damage them. When needed, I hand scrub them with some "green" cleaner and let it dry in the sun which helps kill bacteria. I recently ordered a couple yoga mat towels made of microfiber to prevent my mat from getting dirty and catch falling sweat that work really well and don't slip. Maybe that will help you.

I am actually doing the first part which was to zip all up n let it sit for 6 months to smother all dustmites. Havent yet washed them after initial washing. It has helped my allergies sooooo much though.

I've only had mine for a few months, but they are not showing any signs of curling. In fact, I would be surprised if they did, because of the construction - they are so cushion-y all the way up to the edges... I do make sure to clean up whatever spills right away - that could be a cause for curling over time. Again, mine are still fairly new but I am extremely satisfied with them.

I have yet to see any tears on mine which I have owned for a few months. I'm not sure about the rubber degrading more than any other type of mat. All rubber will wear over time

No problem with them curling up! I haven't had them quite so long but so far, so good. I always make sure I step completely on the mat- so not to "kick" the edges. I can't figure out WHY they are curling. I absolutely LOVE mine.

Mine have only been in for a couple of years, but have no material degredation yet.

I'm not exactly sure. But I've had some last me months of use. Basically once they fill up with too much particulates they kind of clog and it becomes difficult to breath with them. That's when you know to throw them out. If there's a lot of dust on them I knock them against my foot. Just hit the outside a couple times to knock the dust off. It will make them last a little longer. They're really great if used correctly

I've had a couple of the mats for 5-6 years- they have no moving parts and are waterproof, probably the biggest danger to their longevity would be putting sharp bends in the cord.

Yes...just as well, I feel. However, recently, I have noticed the mat develops a stain (mold?) over a few months. That is with regular washing and drying. I live in a very dry climate, yet the dark marks are definitely a mold...not good.

I haven't had any issues with mold/mildew. I switched to a mat but my daughter has stuck them to the wall of the shower and still no issues.

Yes, they do become flat after a few months, but they do not get lumpy or uneven. They are still solid.

I had tho problem a lot at first, it seems the longer I have it the less noticeable they get I would mop it with a swiffer once a day and after about a month I noticed the shoe prints not staying as much. I think it has to do with static electricity as well. The mat really makes a lot of static electricity. Hair seems to cling to it in my opinion. Hope this helps

Yes, and they seem to be disintegrating! It looks like baby powder all over the floor. I've never done spin before so I thought maybe that was just what they did.

No we have had ours for over a year now and they are as if they came out of the package. My daughter still plays with these almost everyday. We have had no issues with any of the items separating.

My son hasn't had that problem. We've been very happy with this mat so far!

I haven't had that problem. I've had mine for about 6 months and they come out easily.
