How to Test a Mat's Grip Before You Rely on It

Quick answer: To test a mat's grip, set it on your actual floor, press and push it by hand, then step and pivot on it in socks to feel whether it holds. A good mat stays put under everyday movement; a PopsyKosy mat is designed to grip on hard floors without sliding.

A simple at-home test

Place the mat on the floor you will use, push it sideways with a hand, then step and turn on it to feel whether it shifts underfoot.

What good grip feels like

A grippy mat resists sliding when you pivot or push off, giving the steady, planted feel you want for play or exercise.
