VR Mat - 42" ProxiMat ® Metaverse Portal - X-Large Mat for Virtual Reality - Play with Both Feet on The Mat

Does what it’s supposed to do — helps you not wander around as much in VR. Saves your knuckles (no more hitting the wall, lol). Sturdy & well made. Has a premium feel, it’s about 3/8” thick with a textured but somewhat glossy/ smooth surface. The bottom is a more grippy rubber texture to reduce migrating on the carpet. The foam is firm & springy, feels good to stand on. This would be a *huge improvement* for someone gaming on a hard floor. The printed design is cool, seems it should last a while.The middle “foot button” is easy to find in game to center yourself, but if it were any thicker it could tweak people’s ankles a little bit. The outer button doesn’t do much. (I think it could help people a little bit if they’re trying to keep facing one direction).The mat is a little heavy (around 8 lbs) so not the easiest thing to move around, but that speaks to the thickness & quality. You can easily roll & lean it against the wall or store in an empty corner. When deployed it’s not exactly “in the way,” since anyone can walk on it. But I would suggest not using tennis shoes on it if you want to preserve the design longer.I know it seems silly to get this but if you’re really into VR - especially intense/ shooter games - just try it ;)

Love this Mat! Comfortable stays in place on my floor. Have had for a few months now and no issues. Keeps me in my small space.

I have a space in my home for workouts that is also my Home Theater. I'm always afraid I will be doing a VR workout and get too close to my furniture and WHACK one of my statues. I decided to pick up a VR Mat to prevent this from happening.I selected the ProxiMat because of good reviews I have read. It arrived super quick and in good condition. It was rolled up pretty tight but you can see it has flattened out pretty quick in under 30 minutes.I measured out everything beforehand and picked the 42" size. It allows me to duck, weave, bob and side step and still remain on the mat.I wear boxing shoes to get ankle support and I can still feel the texture of the mat as I'm punching out the lights of an AI character.In Summary: A good size mat with good thickness and texture. The little carpet anti-slip discs for the bottom are a nice touch. Rating: 8/10

I've been using this as I use VR Fitness games to make sure I feel that I am staying in place and safe. It lays flat and is sturdy. I do wish there was a larger size so I can lunge a little further, but this is larger than most mats and works well.

I often find myself hitting walls with a controller while playing action games and this mat solves the issue completely. Despite having a virtual boundary, it is not enough to fully fix this problem. It is also very pleasant to step, stand and orient yourself on it, easy to clean.

Helps me know when Im stepping out of bounds, thus saving me from injury.

This is a great matt for places that don't have a lot of room. The knobs that stick out help your feet know where you are in space. If you don't feel the knob in the center, then you've drifted off and will probably be hitting something soon! There is also an off center knob that helps you know where the front is. this way you can feel for that knob to know what direction forward is. And the matt is raised. This allows you to know when you are getting to the edge of the matt and again, will be hitting stuff. This matt has a good amount of stiffness to feel solid, and softness to be comfortable on your feet.Great addition to your VR supplies.

This is a very good mat, thick but not so thick you're sinking into it. Think enough pad to be comfortable, but not slow you down. I use it on a tile floor, it stays in place well. I leave the mat down all the time. The cats even like sitting on it 😀I originally looked at some Yoga mats that were larger. I'm glad I bought this one with the center button so I know where I am on the mat at all times. There's nothing like having a strike coming up, and you suddenly see your room in the pass through. LOL Staying centered on the mat stops that.
