Will it help stop sliding even with a cheap yoga mat? I bought a cheap mat to use during my lunch break and I'm sliding all over.

My yoga mats are not expensive either, I think I paid between $8 and $15 for them. When mine started getting slippery I would just buy a new one but now I use the slip free rosin and it pretty much takes care of it. I'm a little weird about the chalky feeling but I wash my hands immediately after yoga and I'm fine. It is definitely worth it.

I would think so. I was really surprised at how well it actually worked. I have several mats, always searching for *the one*, and have used it with a couple of them. It worked equally well on each mat I tried. You just dust your hands and kind of pat them together. I'm not sure how it would work on a toweled mat, like the kind that Aurorae offers (my husband has one, but he hasn't used my rosin, as the Aurorae mat is great for non-slip). I think it's worth trying it! It doesn't cost much, and it will go a very long way.

It will help for awhile unless you begin to sweat. Suggest washing your mat with mild soap and water or getting a better mat.

I think it would stay in place without a probelm. The surface of the board is a hard plastic (could be slippery) and it has a seam in the middle where the two pieces join. I am not sure if that would cause a problem for ballet. With a yoga mat on top I never notice the seam.

Not at all. All your body! Maybe a yoga mat so you don't slip around when on the floor.

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.

yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be... » Read More yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. « Show Less

If you're using it on a rug (which is the only reason to buy it, lol), then no. It's underside is textured to grip a rug, mine doesn't slide and I do some crazy yoga.

No. The tiles of this mat will come apart under the pressure of your hands and whatnot and especially on the soft surface of carpet. Keep seeking stickier and thicker yoga mats.

Back is rough. Slippage depends on your surface. I have never found slipping a problem.

I don't think this is the best choice to keep things from sliding around. This has raised ridges that actually allow items to move easily. I would choose one of the more cushion-y shelf liners if you want non-skid.

The material that the mat is made of is high quality. I have never had a problem with slipping.

I have not tried that but I assume it would. When I need to sit I just move the mat back

I do not have a problem with my laptop sliding. it has like a mesh/ rough top. my laptop has grips on the bottom.

This board has a rough surface designed for a yoga mat not to slide. I don't know if it would work for a dance move such as this. Not sure if it would be wide enough either. if you had socks on or dance shoes it might work for you. This is just my opinion hope it helps.

Totally agree with answers posted. Surface is very different from other mats and helps prevent slipping.

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.

it grips as well as any mat I've used. if you're going to be sweating a lot, you might want to invest in grippy socks and/or gloves.

Absolutely not which makes this mat so great! I have sweaty palms and my old mat had me sliding all over the place. A friend told me to try a yoga towel but it didn't work. You can spray a bit of water on the mat to give yourself more of a grip but I've found it unnecessary.
