With a firm impact resistance and easily reversible fitting that allows you to flip and change your pattern without any hassle the mat features a non-abrasive checker pattern.
All SMAI Jigsaw Mats are specifically compatible with the same style - meaning SMAI 2cm Korean Style Jigsaw Mats are not compatible with other styles.

Product note: all EVA mats are subject to contraction and expansion in extreme temperatures. For example in tropical areas and in warehouses that are prone to overheating. To minimize the degree of variance in such conditions we recommend choosing the 3cm or 4cm mats.

Why does hardness matter for jigsaw mats?
Shore Hardness is used as a measure of hardness in polymers elastomers and rubbers. For use in Martial Arts and playgrounds for children it is recommended to use between 50 to 55 degree Shore A flooring. If the mats are <50 they will be too soft and not durable in the long term (the logs are more likely to break apart). If the mats are >55 they are too firm reducing impact absorption and increasing the likelihood of injury.
That's why we choose Korean Mats which are 55 degrees Shore A.
