does the mat slip from under you when doing flips?

There is Velcro on back side of mat so it stays in place better on carpet. My daughter has not done a back flip on it. It is a very nice mat.

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

yes it does depending on the surface. It is not long enough to except maybe a round off.

The mat does NOT slip! My daughter does back handsprings and tucks on this mat and it doesn't move. We even have it laying on carpet. There is velcro holding it in place and it stays put!

The weight of the mat keeps it in place and when the young man using the mat does back handsprings and a tuck, the mat stays in place. It is a very sturdy and durable mat. Highly recommended!

It does slip. I had to put it on a rubber mat; it still slipped. As I said in an earlier review, it is very flimsy. We could not use it and went back to the sturdier bench we had been using. Other reviewers seem to be satisfied. I guess it depends on who is using it. My husband is 84 and partially paralyzed from a stroke. It was not sturdy enough to allow him to feel comfortable.

I use this puzzle mat in combination with a no skid under-carpet mat. If you just use the puzzle mat on its own it will still slip around. The mat is mostly useful for its padding. It's pretty thick.

It does not have anti slip on the bottom of the matt. I will say that we have hardwood floors on our first floor and my daughter hasn't had any problems with it slipping.

No. The mat does not slip on our hard floors. It stays put unless we move it.

Yes it does slip. Some people have told me to put a cloth around the area of your leg then put the wrap over it. This will prevent slipping. I never tried this but give it a try.

It depends on what you are doing. I have 2 mats side by side and do tons of lateral cardio movements (jumping, sprints, etc) between the two. Over the course of an hour the mats will slip maybe a total of 1" with heavy use. If I am just lifting weights there is no slippage.

I have not had that experience with my Mat. Are you sure you had the right side down?

At first it didn't seem to, but it does now...just a few months after purchase. I still lie it, but is is a bit annoying. I will have to put a rubberized mat under it.

It has a rubber ring around the bottom. I have no problem with it slipping.

It does, but the rubber coaster-like attachment on the bottom doesn't totally prevent slipping. I recommend sitting down and holding it between your knees, rather than trying to hold it down on the counter/tabletop.

Never had a problem with slipping. We have roasted a 13 lb turkey on it at least twice and no problems.Hope this helps.

When I first bought the mat it was very slick and slippery. My yoga teacher said to wash/scrub it with a mild detergent and then let it air dry in the sun. I had to do this several times, but it is now great. I do not slip at all, even when sweating. My teacher said it may get slick again over time, and if so to just condition it in the same way again.

I think you will be fine although I noticed my feet slipping a bit I don't now if it was just me not the mat. I haven't done much Yoga since this is the reason why I purchased it. I used it for about 40 minutes I was fine after adjusting myself I think because I am tall (5'11) and positioning myself accurately for each pose can be a factor on slippage.

If it's on carpet you'll be just fine! Jumping is part of DDR, and spinning, jumping while you spin... Never had the mat fly out from under me! The cheap mats with no foam will do that. These mats (I've owned five now, different platforms) are fantastic

It stays pretty much in place, there is a slight amount of slide, not like the one i had before,it was all over the place. I am quite pleased with this mat.

No, although slipping isn't that much of a problem. It's on a tile floor, so I put felt strips on the feet to cushion it.
