Martelli Mats
Martelli Mats are my favorite mats. So hard to describe, they are much thicker (and therefore heavier, if that is a concern) and feel almost softer when cutting. They can be rolled, left in the car without warping, and don't crack if dropped. DH dropped my Olfa when it had been in the car and was cold, it cracked in half.
They are two-sided, one side purple, one side soft yellow. You can also iron on them, as long as there is fabric between the mat and the iron (ie, don't go past the edge of the fabric you are ironing if you don't have another, larger piece under).
Tues. and Weds. only, they are on sale for 1/2 off. Still not inexpensive, but a better deal for sure.

I don’t have their flat mats but I do have their roundabout mat. I caught them on sale a couple of years ago and got one for myself and my sister. Well worth the money! I had one of the rotating olfa mats and it just never turned correctly.

I have the roundabout mat and use the Martelli rotary cutter on it as suggested. The top of it is all scratched up and rough. I love the way it turns, but the mat is awful. I lay a small green Olfa mat on top of it.
Has anyone else's mat scratched up?

I purchased the roundabout mat through Amazon. I did not get around to using it due to the holidays and so on. The first time, the mat was scratched up already. Unfortunately, I was not familiar with Amazon's return policy until it was too late. I did post a review of the product and asked about getting it replaced. I will try again, though. Or I may get one of my extra mats trimmed to fit the turntable.
