Our mat is curling up on all four sides and like the top part is shrinking...we are constantly tripping over it. Fix it ideas? Thxs

Same here: both two years old and both curling up at the edges and seems to be coming apart at the edge- tripping is now a constant issue. Not near the oven.

I haven't had that problem. If it is curling on the edges, it may mean that there is some high temperatures near by. Do you have it near the oven and stove? We have one of ours there, but we don't use the oven very often and when we do we move the pad. This is what I would do. I would for sure notify the manufacturer and let them know. It may only be a defect in your pad and I am sure they would replace the pad and would probably like to have the curling one back so they can figure out the problem.

It's called NewLife by GelPro, 32-inch Pebble Designer Comfort Mat. Very comfortable to stand on, & definitely lays flat!

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

Oh, what a shame, as I have not had that experience yet! Mine still lays flat, & stays in place.

I have no idea? Google the company and ask them. Mine looks brand new still.

I have never had this problem. I've had mine for well over a year and a half and mine is in great condition. I bought this one as a gift.

The only thing I could think of was to buy dark brown duck tape to edge it. May not be the prettiest fix, but it works

Ours is long gone, but had the same problem. Have no answer, just keep putting it back on. I guess you can try to glue it. That thing was a life saver. Plop the kid in and you can get some things done. Both kids loved it, especially when starting to walk.

Our mat lays flat on very thick carpet and the edge is tapered. It is very thick and the edge does not curl so I don't think you should worry about tripping on this mat. With that being said be careful when transitioning from one type of flooring to another kind because no one wants to fall.

I have the same issue with the Kikkerland owl mat. Don't know how to get it to stick. :(

I have two mats - both still in new condition EXCEPT that both are raised up around all edges. I don't remember ever even having a warranty info. Has anyone contacted the company and heard back from them yet .

I haven't had that problem. I usually put a towel over the actual mat and hang the towel to air dry after using it. I then store the bamboo mat on its side, next to the bathtub. You may try putting the mat in strong sunshine for a few days, especially if you are in a dry climate. :/

Problem.... I spoke too soon. Used mine again this weekend and it definitely does slip. Sorry for the bad news update. It is possible to slip it back, just takes a little messing around with it. Too bad they don't fix that problem, seems like it wouldn't be difficult, and then the product would be awesome.

Hello Donna. We never had that problem but maybe it is off level. Try on a different surface or maybe stairway got bent. Good luck!

Yes, with one caveat, the mat bows down the centerline (does not lie perfectly flat ). This is bothersome to us.

Put some heavy objects (books/furniture etc) on all the corners of the chairmat. It may take a couple of days for the mat to settle. Reverse the mat and repeat the same steps.

Perhaps the slope is too steep. I put a one-inch thick book under each of the lower legs to lessen the slope. Also be sure to grab hold of the handlebars as you step on. Finally, if the problem is the treadmill rubber mat moving too quickly, perhaps you've put too much oil underneath it and you need to wipe some of it off. Hope these ideas help.

I haven't had that problem. The mats are placed in between grooves that hold it in place as you are using them.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

Use a slipping mat. The stuff that usually goes under the rug to keep it from sliding. That should help

I never thought about that. I guess it's that I just naturally tend to put the mat the other face up if the corners stick up. Maybe I haven't had them long enough to see the problem. All I know is that I love them. One possibility is that I keep my knife almost razor sharp and therefore I do not apply a lot of pressure which could over time cause a stretching of the material. I hope this helped.

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?

I would say if it is flopping - you might want to try some silicone or perhaps even just glue (and set in a position that works for you, since moving the head would be limited or not an option at that point).. if all else fails.. I would grab another one.. perhaps just a defect or overuse? -- have had ours for years with no issue - love it.
