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

Hello, one side has a slightly matted finish to it it is kind of hard to determine though.

I THINK I have the original May as well bc mine has no measurement markings. To me, I hold one side up in a well lit room and the shiny side has more sheen and is more reflective, the other side is more matte and dull looking. Once I figured it out, I used a marker on the EXTREME corner and wrote the word "out" so I know to have that side facing outward when I can read the written word. HTH.

It is extremely hard to tell in my opinion, which is another reason I wish the mat would have had the printing on it. The one I received was plain plastic and looked like the stuff you put underneath office furniture. I wasn't thrilled with it at all.

I couldn't tell either, so I tried rolling out a small amount of fondant, and then I could tell by the fondant - if the fondant was shiny, that side of the mat was shiny, and if it was duller, that was the matte side. Then I did the same thing as another commenter and marked it in the corner with a permanent marker so I wouldn't have to guess anymore.

It is the same texture but only one side has the sheen. This is a very warm blanket! I Love it!

1 side does have a texture to it, the other is smoothe. I don't think it matters, I flip them every once in awhile after cleaning... but that's just me.

the rough side which is also not sticky faces up the other side that looks smooth but has some type of film to grip the floor faces down. make sure to wipe down where you are going to lay the mat before placement for it to stick better.

No, not smooth on either side. As a yoga mat, it is covered on both sides in a very small "dimpled" pattern. You know, so that the ground facing side does not slip and on the side with you on it, you do not slip too. No, not smooth on either side.

I am very sorry I don't remember it has been too long and I didn't pay attention. I love the mat though very comfortable.

There wasn't a shiny or cloth side. Both are the same. The bottom side has a way to pull the cushion out (sort of like a pillow case) so the outer cover can be washed. So there is really only one side that you can use.

Hi!Well, yes your guessing is correct, its supposed to be HIII one side and G888 in the other side. I received mine on that way. G888 is a good tacky rubber, but when you expected to receive one well commented rubber and you didn´t.... I guess it´s time to complaint!

The shiney side that has a design to it should be up. It is easier to wipe down and the other side is more slip proof for the floor.

The logo on my mat is authentic. I got an orange one. You are correct though, online it looks different, except for the key lime, raspberry, and saffron.

They are exactly the same just make sure you get the correct side for the one you are replacing. Hope this helped!

I have one and it did matter. There is a difference, though by looking at it you may not notice, but for me the side metal/plastic parts rubbed in the wrong area's on my right leg. The one I bought was for the left side. Unfortunately they are designed for one side not both. But you can always try it and if their is no pain... but it won't work 100% optimally.

The one I received flattened out immediately! I love this mat. Another mat that I ordered (different brand) has yet to flatten out after six months of use. Maybe you can exchange the one you received.

On the cover that I ordered, both sides are the same (mesh). So regardless of what side that I turned it on, it would be the same. Could not go wrong when both sides are the same. Hope that helps you.

Both sides. Both originals very hazed over. The new lights are much brighter now and look way better
