I bought a Fiskar mat because it is slightly smaller than the Olfa. My sewing room has a counter that runs the full length and the 36" x 24" mat was slightly too big and the edge would break. The Fiskar is just right for my counter. It works fine. I do find I have to clean it more often because fabric gets stuck in the mat (especially when I cut minkie) but I like the light color of it. The green Olfa color is not very pleasing. I also like that I can turn my Fiskar over and use the other side. Cannot do that on my Olfa. (My over 15 year old Olfa - which is slightly smaller than the new Olfa mats - is underneath my Fiskar... got cracked during our last move or I would still be using it.)
