I love this mat! Its firm enough, bouncy enough- and the 10 x 10 size is perfect for my needs - enough room to stage my various needles & still have plenty of space to work.

Happy with this!!! The size is perfect for my projects!! Good quality!!

This thick mat has been just what I was looking for, and I am pleased with my purchase. I did a lot of research before buying and it had great reviews and so I decided to splurge a bit and start my wool felting off right, and I am so glad I did. Here’s what I’ve found: -Even though I’m an armature spending a little more helped me relax and enjoy the process of learning. My first few days of felting, I’d used a mattress pad we had in storage and it was uncomfortable and I pricked myself multiple times and couldn’t relax because I was struggling with the mat. After getting the Woolbuddy, I could sit anywhere I wanted and feel comfortable that I wasn’t going to stick myself. -I followed a you tube reviewer’s advice and do light colors on the top side and dark colors in the bottom. Some color will stay in your mat. I made some red mushrooms and it dyed the area I was working red. I don’t think I’ll have any issues if I stick with the plan. -I purchased a lint remover to scrape off excess wool, because some gets left behind. I’m glad I did, it’s come in handy. After working I run it over the surface, picking up the bits left behind. -The quality is great. It’s thick enough, has a great amount of surface area and there are several fun color options. I chose the yellow, because I didn’t want something too light that would get discoloration quickly, and I thought the orange was an inviting enough color. I think I’d probably choose a gray if that had been an option, but I’m very happy with the purchase.

I saw some made of burlap or sisal. It had a dark side and a light side. But they were much more expensive. I’ve been enjoying this mat. Which side it’s on doesn’t matter. It’s pretty and a nice size. About the size of an iPad. Mine is a light blue. It’s firm and straight. The other one looked like pillows. This one is strong and flat with a surface just right. There’s no way the other kind is worth the extra money.

I am just starting out on my needle felting journey, and I have only used the Wool Buddy a few times so far. I tried a cheap craft store foam and it was very small and fell apart quickly. Not a good first experience! The Wool Buddy is a nice size and quality. I can see it lasting for a long while.

Much better than foam!

Great size for needle felting, works well. No problems.

I have ordered 2 woolbuddy felting pads previously (over a 2 year period) which were great for needle felting. The one I just received is of bad quality. It is thinner and not densely felted. As a result my wool and alpaca fiber sticks to it. Quality has gone down over the 2 year period.

I’ve tried many types of felting mats, and wool buddy is the best. Easy to felt into, doesn’t come apart and doesn’t get holes in it like some mats. Make sure you don’t felt in the same place, keep moving the mat to keep your surface nice and flat. Highly recommend!

First Amazon review ever! I LOVE this needle felting pad. So sturdy and makes working on a needle felting project so much easier!
