Rated 4 out of 5 by Oooooooooooo from Comfortable and lovely I bought this mat to coordinate with one I bought about three years ago. All the patterns are the same. The design is very different. The original one was all the same thickness, this new one slopes down slightly on the sides. It does seem to provide better support, but the backing on it is such that it slips when walked on. Just like an area rug, I’ve had to use something on its underside to keep it from moving on the floor.
