You are right, this mat is hard plastic. I don't believe it is a self healing mat either. I have a June Taylor mat that also has a pressing area on it and I actually cut the cutting surface off because I don't care for it. For the price, I would go with the Olfa mat. If they aren't on sale, you can use a coupon. Also, if you have a Hancock Fabrics near you, they also take the Joann's coupons.
