I love my Woolbuddy. Works great !

This is so much better than the foam.

I am a beginning felter and I tend to learn by trial and error rather than viewing online tutorials as I should. I purchased the brush type felting pad, a foam one and the Wool Buddy. I hated the brush type immediately, it seemed wobbly and insecure. The foam type was OK but I didnt like the feel or sound of the needle going in and I knew it couldnt last long. Then I tried the Wool Buddy, XL size. I loved the size, the thickness and the feel of it. It felt secure, it felt steady and no matter how much I punched there were no holes or wear that I could see. My only problem was MY OWN FAULT!. I was making a felted leaf, first time I tried it. Of course, a leaf is a flat piece. I needled away and loved the result. Went to pull up the leaf and it was FIRMLY attached to the Wool Buddy. I ruined one side of the WB pulling and scraping the leaf out of it. I didnt want to give up on the WB because I loved everything else about it. So... I did what I should have, watched a few tutorials and got some good tips and realized I was a felting idiot but one with hope. I started again on the remaining good side of the WB. I cut some squares of tulle netting a little larger than the size of the leaf I wanted to make. I put one piece of tulle on the WB, laid out my wool fibers and put another piece of tulle on top, a felting sandwich of sorts. I started needling but every minute or so, I pulled the leaf all the way off the WB and flipped it over. If the tulle got too many holes, I replaced it. The tulle and the frequent flipping worked like a charm. The leaf pulled away perfectly from both the tulle and the WB leaf. Use the WB right and you will love it! All I have to do now is avoid the ugly side I ruined!

Larger size is much easier to work on.

I really like this mat, so much better than the foam one I had

Ill never use a foam mat again- these are great.

I am new to needle felting and this mat is perfect. It is a good size to work on and I havent poked my finger yet. I plan on making lots of critters on this.

My granddaughter didnt like this pad. She used it once and put a hole in the pad while doing needle felting. She changed over to a foam pad and didnt have the same problem. She will hold this one as a back up to the foam pad. She was very disappointed that she put a hole in it while using it the first time.

I liked the wool buddy initially. I try to be contentious about moving my project frequently so it doesnt felt to the pad, but I feel like even the smallest bit of felting and then moving it leads to pulling on the felt and making the project fuzzy. I also noticed today as I was felting brown wool onto a project that some white remnants were coming up from the pad and sticking in with the brown. But that may be my fault as I havent cleaned it.

No need to worry about working on your lap, this is a really nice size to keep yourself safe from needle pokes. Firm. Im really happy.
