hello - after reading description, I still cannot figure out: do the dots go on the mat or does the smooth side go on the mat?

The dots go on the mat. it'll create a grip to keep the towel from sliding.

I have been putting the rubber dots against the mat so that my hands and feet are against the plush side of the towel. Plus the rubber dots hold the towel in place on the mat and keep everything lined up nicely during my practice.

No, they are smooth on the back side. These mats do not slide around, they are made of a high quality soft rubber and stay in place.

The purple side goes down to grip the floor. The purpose of the tan side up is that it's supposed to blend in (color wise) with the floor (if it's a wood floor) so it's not so obvious that you're using grippers. I wasn't sure either so I googled it and found the info from the manufacturers site.

Rough side up is how I placed mine. Makes sense to me to have traction for moving around in an office chair. The mat doesn't slip on the floor.

The patter is different from one side to the other. However not sure it is different from the other mats.

Hello, for me I decided to put the matte finish toward the floor, shiny side up, thinking it would help keep the mat from slipping on the floor. No idea if this is correct or not, was just my preference. -John-

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

Hey Darlene! I'll be glad to answer. The strips are slightly rough which in itself discourages movement. I use them on a silicon mat which helps keep them in place as well. I would also recommend a long rolling pin, it really helps when working with these. Also, consider getting 2 sets as that way you can make a box shape that allows you to roll in both directions rather than just one. Hope this helps

"Thanks, David, could you please elaborate on Wiggle-Waggle top?" -- The top of the mat is a wave pattern and is not completely smooth like my other Rubbermaid bathmat. ...

This one seems small, but that's for safety reasons. The mat ends were the pedals begin. I was a little concerned with this, too, before I bought it. It actually works nicely. I find my left foot naturally stays on the mat. I haven't looked for any other mats because I've been really happy with this product.

Hi,How do you know which side is the shiny one? For me both sides are the same in the original mat. Thanks

Both sides of this mat are very smooth. I use mine for crafting. Epoxy Resin & hot glue will not stick to it.

I hope the writing side is up, as that is how I use it. The mat has been working out very well for me. I just do some balance poses on the hardwood floor as I am not good enough yet to do them on the mat.

it is a harder product with gripper teeth on the bottom that grips to the carpet to hold it in place. Items may slide around somewhat on the mat, I mainly bought it to keep the carpet from getting soiled and messed up, as I like to plant flowers in the spring . I am pleased with it.

the bottom of the mat has little suction cup type things. It was really slippery, though and I ended up not using it for what I needed it for. I really needed a non-slip mat.
