I bought this for my wife now living in a memory care facility. It works great and she has already slipped out of bed a few times and was protected by the mat. Having it fold in half makes it much appreciated by the caregivers to put out of the way while making the bed and attending to the wife in bed--quick and easy. The tapering avoids tripping by all, including myself, while walking in and around her room. It is very non-slip! The surface texture is rugged, material is soft for cushioning but firm enough not to wrinkle and bunch, and the weight is just right for durability, moving around, and able to stay put. A fine product!
