Does this mat have a tendency to slide around?

I have only used it once (I'm not one to bake a lot), but I don't remember it sliding around. I have a stone countertop. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

There is a tendency to slide around, depending on the surface texture of the countertop. I have a slightly worn formica countertop with some roughness, and I spread a little tap water on the countertop surface before placing the pastry mat. The surface tension of the water anchors the mat quite well and keeps it in place for the most part.

I've used this mat several times and haven't had an issue with sliding. The only problem I've encountered is dough sticking a little bit because the mat is plastic and doesn't grip flour like a canvas mat. This is easily solved by making sure the dough is cold and putting extra flour in the middle of the mat prior to rolling. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

Yes, it has a rubbery bottom which helps to secure it a bit. Of course it will move around somewhat but to secure it in place more it's best to attach it to the changing table in the back. That's how we have it. If you put a cover on it then it will no longer be non-skid b/c the cover goes over the sides of the non-skid bottom and that makes it slide around on wood furniture. but that's how it is for all changing pads. We've tried more than one pad and still use this one for over a year. for the price it's a good product.

Yes, it helps to keep the mat in place, I've had mine for awhile now and am very happy and satisfied with it.

Yes, it does glide smoothly. It does make a very slight squeak if we lean heavily to the left when rocking. But, it' really not a problem.

I believe so, but depending on the floor it may slide. I would put some rubberized mats or carpet stops under it to help prevent it if the floor is slick.

It still is for the most part. It also has the straps to strap it down for extra protection. I haven't had problems with sliding until my son was a year and half old. Even then a little shelf liner squares would take care of that.

No, not smooth on either side. As a yoga mat, it is covered on both sides in a very small "dimpled" pattern. You know, so that the ground facing side does not slip and on the side with you on it, you do not slip too. No, not smooth on either side.

It slides around, but it does not slide out from under you. You can move it with your foot so if you need it by the sink or another part of the counter it is easy to move. The other Gel mats were easy to trip on and move but this one is trip free and easy to re-position. but it does move it is not "glued" in place. Answer here...

The mat holds up very well. the only issue is that it does slide a bit on the tile floor. If you want it to stay in place you will need to tape it underneath.

The mat is not non-skid. Mine stays in place okay on the floor but does move around some - especially when the black lab tries to run across it instead of sitting for a few seconds.

It does slide somewhat - I use a fitted twin sheet to secure the pad in place.

Yes, the mat will slip on tile. We use those rubber shelf liners under the mat to keep it from sliding. Our daughter tumbles on it daily and it has made it much softer. We have never bought a mat where this did not happen.

I haven't had any problem it doesn't shift or fall or slide at all, but my dashboard has some texture, if yours is very smooth or has a very steep slope it might, maybe?

I haven't had any problems with slipping. It has a rubbery feel to it, not a firm plastic feel like a cutting mat. I use it for rolling stuff out, not for cutting on. It is fairly thick but very pliable.

No. The bottom moves freely. The weight of your hand is supposed to be enough to keep it from slipping.

I haven't had any problems with it sliding. I'm still very happy with my purchase.

Yes on low to medium thickness carpet rolls around fine. Same on hard surfaces like tile. Easy to move around and actually pretty quiet to move it around even on the tile.
