Best cutting mat?
«

My very old Fiskars A2 cutting mat is very worn in the middle, so I have been looking online at reviews and to be honest, I’m confused. So many people are complaining that their rotary cutter has cut right through the mat.
Has anyone bought one recently that they like?

I bought
this one
almost 8 years ago and have nothing bad to say about it! It has had a fair amount of use.

Rhino cutting mats. Excellentv quality, all sizes, reasonably priced and mine arrived very quickly. I got my big one 2 years ago one side green, one side white.

I have a couple of these, both A1, and they're holding up well.

I have the same type as Diane, 2 A0s in pink and purple. I have had them about 5 years now and they are fine.

Thanks all. I had read good things about the Ansio one, but then there are a few bad reviews on Amazon that put me off.
In the end I’ve decided just to fork out for an Olfa one, like my very first one, which lasted much longer than the Fiskars.

All of mine are either Fiskars or OLFA. Both are pretty sturdy, though of course, nothing will last forever.

My new Olfa one is much better than the old Fiskars one. It used to leave little trails of fluff along the cutting line from the fabric, which were quite difficult to brush away. I can cut on the Olfa one, with no marks or fluff left behind.
