Will the mat slip if placed on tiles? Will excessive use cause it to lose it's thickness?

I placed the matts under my living room rug as a crash pad for the kids and a fun and comfortable living space. They are on top of hardwood floor and don't move around at all. They seem pretty firm and havnt lost much of the firmness but I expect they will soften up with time. I've had them for about 12 months now. I'm sure with time it will loose thickness in high traffic areas. They are probably not as good as what you would find in a karate or jiu jitsu studio but so far just as good. Hope this helps. Also, find the cheapest one even if it's not a prime item sometimes it's cheaper to pay the shipping.

It does slip on tile, my girls start there tumbling off the mat then do the hard tricks on it which sometimes causes the mat to move. However it has not lost its thickness throughout the year of using it.

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.

My daughter is eleven and she uses it at least 4 times a week. She has had it for a year and it has not lost it's thickness. It does slip on tiled floors.

I wouldn't suggest it be used on tiles but because it's leather it shouldn't slip. Ours has been used frequently since April and has not changed in thickness.

I have a laminate floor, and there is no slipping whatsoever. I imagine it would be the same for wood. The item itself is pretty heavy.

Yes....love the mat....doesn't slide, tiles are easy to pick up from it and it lays very smooth.

No the back is not "per-say" slip resistance but it does not slide on my ceramic tiled floors like the others that are shiny. I just use these pads, there really is no need for the extra cost, these are absorbent and do not leak. I would suggest a dog pad holder for disposable pads, you can get on chewy.com for about $14 and the training pad corners snap into the holder and the holder does not slide (also some fold for traveling), I have one reusable pad (not snapped in, to thick) on the holder. I hope this helps....Smiles....Sharon

I don't think it will slip. I do not use it on carpet, but have an area rug. That works fine.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

It has a semi textured surface so it alone will not be slippery. The biggest cause of slipping will be grip strength or lack of and stability strength/ fatigue.

Quick answer no. HOWEVER the size and material seem to prevent slippage on our tile counter tops.

I personally don't think it's got enough cushion for a gym mat. It also would probably slide a little if you have it on hard wood or tile.

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

If you have tile or hardwood floors it doesn't slip! It kind of has a non slip grip at the bottom to help.

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.

No but we haven't had any problems with our slipping on our tile. We use it for the sink in the bathroom.

Put a rubber mat under this item and it won't slip. Go to amazon.com and search under "rubber mat". There are quite a few to choose from. Size 36"x36" would be just about perfect.

Yes it is fine for hard surfaces, I have it located on porcelain tile. It does slide a bit, but the tile are very slick. The mat is thin and lays flat. It is easy to roll on and off. There is no trip hazards.

Hey Russ, though it's only a quarter inch thick, it's still a pretty heavy duty mat. I also use it in my garage to do CrossFit wods, but I keep it in the floor. When I do roll it up, it's only for a short time, and it hasn't retained any "memory" from being rolled up. I really don't think you'll have any problems with it, especially if you use it often and don't keep it rolled up for an extended period of time. Good luck!

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.
