how easy is it for a chair to glide on the rough side surface? I'm asking since other mats I have tried were way to slippery.

That is the main problem with the mat-there is no rough surface. Both sides are smooth so the chair glides easily across the mat but the mat also slides across the floor as well.

Glides perfectly. The only issue, which is minor, is that is slides on the hard wood floors slightly. I like it.

No not slippery so long as you dont put too much cleaner on the floor. I love it

One side has very strong adhesive. The side you see in the picture is textured but does not have adhesive. I cut strips to fit the feet of a recliner that is placed on bamboo flooring. The chair can be lifted easily but it no longer slips or slides when someone sits down in it.

It really works well for me. I am 71 with knee, back and balance problems(slight).Prior to this I had 'suction cup' mats. After a time, the cups become slippery and slid quickly when I shifted my wright.About a5 years ago, in a nasty fall, my left rotator cup ended up torn.his mat provides with a reliable friction against the tub. Be careful win you out it down.Any questions just ask. The price was also competitive with others I found on the web,

I don't think you will find a stiffer mat anywhere and I think it matters more about whats under the mat than on top. If you have thick carpet and a thick pad...you will likely get some cracks in the mat after about a year based on my experiences with this brand. The other mats I have tried are all too flexible and my chair didn't roll well on them.

My mat slides a little, but the chair still stays on it and it doesn't go far, so have not worried about it. Maybe double sided tape in corners?

Honestly, when you first take it out of the packaging it feels slippery but after like a day or 2 it will no longer feel that way.Like the others said, it will slip on a smooth surface and if you're clumsy. I haven't had any problems so far (:

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.

They tend to be slippery for me and I am in my seventies. To fix this I bouught several very cheap throw rugs from walmart and lay the pads on top of these rugs. Works perfectly.

I have not yet had any problems with the mat sliding around while using it.

No, I would not say it was slippery-its just that there is nothing to really anchor the arms and back of the throw so it stays in place. If you just gently sit on the couch with your legs planted of the floor--it might be ok. But if you get on your couch and curl up to read a book or have your dog up with you--it does not stay in place at all. I found it very frustrating and poorly designed to be advertised as Sure Fit.

I found it slipped quite a bit on a hardwood floor. I used carpet grip padding underneath and it held ok. I did not use it on to of a carpet. Guessing that may give the grip it needs to stay still.

Use the belt-like carrying strap to secure the cushion to the chair back. For the slippery sitting surface, try wrapping the cushion with a turkish towel. Tuck/wrap it around the cushion. Hope this helps.

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.

We move it around on the hard wood. I am being careful when our daughter (25lbs) is in the chair to make sure not to scratch the floor, which I think would not happen anyway. I just don't want to risk it. When the chair is empty, it is super easy to move around without even lifting the back side (no wheels in the back). If you have a carpet floor, you will need to use the wheels only. They work fine, you would not need to pick the chair up. We still like the chair a lot and she does not mind sitting in it when eating.

It is definitely NOT slippery. It is thick, with a rougher ( not too rough) texture, still comfortable enough to sit or lie on. Hope this helps.
