Liz 5 This mat is perfect for my kitchen. It looks just like the picture advertised and is very soft. The mat isn’t exactly warm, but I wasn’t expecting it to be. When the floor is cold the mat does provide a nice thick layer of protection, though.What I love most about it though is how easy it is to clean. If some food or sauce falls while I’m cooking I can wipe it up easily. We used to have a fabric mat and it got covered in stains and was difficult to wash.I will absolutely get this mat again in the future if time wears it out. I would also recommend it to a friend. The price for value is fantastic.
