How long do the mats last?

They last a pretty long time...depends a lot on how much you use them and how many layers of fabric you cut at one time.

4 mats per pack. It's been more than a year and they are holding up really well. Only indoor use.

Yes, the print is rubbing off and I've only had the rugs 4-5 months. I would not buy them again. My previous mats lasted years. I like the pattern and color but 4 months is ridiculous.

They last for a long time. I have had mine for over a year. I bought two bags and consolidated them all into one bag. As I use them I put the used ones in one of the nets (bags) it came in and toss them in the wash. That way I always have enough.

I honestly can't remember. I had these mats last year and they didn't last long thanks to a cat using them as a clawing station. From everything I've read online, tadpoles brand was unclear if it was used or not.

I bought a Spoonk mat about 2 yrs ago then another one 3 months ago. I can not tell any difference in the quality of the mats. They both are very high quality.

Sorry, just purchased it in September 2014. My daughter has several pieces and has used them for a number of months, and loves them. So it appears that with proper use and care, they stay good awhile. Check reviews. It seems proper cleaning is important.

If you wipe them down after each session, and you don't break them--they'll be good for 8-12 months at least.

The mats are usually fine. They do slip a little when I am working faster than I should be working, but most of the time, they are fine and they don't slip. I really like this board option with the mats.

I have not put down the mat yet, so I'm sorry I can't give you any information. It looks good, but I don't know how it will wear.

I have had this mat for 6 months and I have two large dogs and the mats still look brand new.

They last a very long time, I don't change mine out for maybe 6 months or so. I keep it scooped out daily, but find nothing sticks to the bottom and it doesn't absorb through. No odor develops over time either. The deeper sides make messy kitties a little cleaner too, it's harder for them to toss the litter over the sides.

These were a gift for my daughter, so I can't say for certain, but I believe the back mats are two individual pieces, not one long continuous mat.

I have had this mat for about a year, I think, and it still lies totally flat, and surface is still perfect. Spendy, but worth it, I think you get what you pay for with these things. I doubt I'll ever have to replace it.

Each fuel cartridge lasts up to 12 hours. Each repellent mat lasts up to 4 hours. Those are manufacturer estimates, and are roughly in line with what you can expect to see in real use.

I've had my mats on for about a month now. I used an air freshener to combat the smell and it's pretty much all gone....or I'm just used to it.

If you use the mat on a regular basis (i.e., three times a week to daily) the smell goes away within a couple weeks as the mat absorbs your body oils, which seem to neutralize the rubber odor. Leaving the mat out unrolled and unused will not help.
