Is this mat the very soft and bendable type of mat and made of silicone?

It's a bendable plastic, it's not silicone. Worth every penny. I love it. Easy to store and clean.

As others have said, the answer is definitely "no"as the mat is plastic - not silicone. It does roll up, as others have stated, but I strongly prefer to store it flat. It makes it easier to use the next time as it has a memory when rolled. I started storing it behind a solid, case good piece of furniture: ie console or sideboard. That worked fine until someone suggested I put it on the dining room table under the pads and table cloth. If you happen to leave those in place, it is definitely the best option for me for this item. Storing flat also makes it so I have absolutely no problem with slipping. As it is large, I do have to tuck it under a few things on the counter just to fit it in place. That may be why I've never had any slipping issues. As I told another person who asked a question, I actually purchased this because it was so inexpensive compared to the $30 range for the silicone mats. It also has all the nice markings/measurements. I didn't intend to like it so even before I bought it, I had given myself the permission to just consider the price a loss and buy the silicone WHEN I disliked this mat. Then I got a big shock. I LOVE this mat!! I have a small, silicone mat that I've had for years so I do have some idea of the differences. Though I wouldn't use a sharpened knife on this mat, it if definitely much sturdier than silicone and therefore you can your a much larger number of gadgets without the fear of damaging the mat - especially since it is so much cheaper than the silicone. The absolute only pro I can come up with for the silicone is that it can be folded or balled up and wrapped with a rubber band to save space. This mat has a much longer list of pros for me anyway. I know that is much more than you asked, but I can't help running off at the mouth about this mat as I was so very shocked that I really love it. I can't imagine needing to purchase another mat, but if I did, I would definitely, without question get this mat again! Hope that helps.

No--you wouldn't be able to wad it up or fold it in quarters. It's pretty stiff.

This pad. is very soft and flexible and conforms to whatever shape it's left in and then flattens out when in use. It's not the stiff pad, with removable cover, that gets softer when heated. This is all one piece and very soft. I love it . It's a nice size and covers from shoulder to shoulder. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure what it is made of but I do know it bends quite easily. Mine was dropped on my hardwood floor and bent enough that it didn't fit properly in the unit. I was able to bend it back enough to get it to fit again but I don't think that says a lot about the quality of this product.

It's soft and bendable but thick enough to be useful for a long time. I fully agree with the previous four answers and I definitely would buy this same product again from the same vendor because the service was excellent, too.

I don't think it is rubbery silicone, it is more like cheap plastic, very thin. I returned mine, only worked for a couple weeks- You get what you pay for, I would advise paying more and getting a quality one. I got a Belkin and love it.

yes it is a silicone sheet, a total silicone mat on both sides. Karen/Eurostoves

It's hard to tell because the mat is made up of thin plastic fibers jumbled into almost a flat surface so it is firm. The fibers are not like brush bristles sticking straight up, they are coiled into a maze but I would not call them soft. Perhaps over time your cat has developed thicker skin than usual in the "ankle" area but probably still collects some litter crystals in his fur that fall off when he leaves the tray; this mat certainly helps to keep those crystals from being tracked into your living area. If you can avoid S&H, I think it could be worth buying just to try it out; it's really a matter of priorities and what you are trying to accomplish with the mat. I'm sorry this is the best I can offer. I've never tried to soften the mat surface but, it being plastic based, I'm guessing that any temporary softening would soon turn hard due to the nature of the material. Hope this helps you.

It's very light weight. Like a polyurethane substance...rubber on outside and hard foam inside, very durable material. You cannot bend it or unshape it.

It is soft and pliable. I also feel that it is a good quality product for the price and have been very satisfied with it.

It is a silicone for me. Soft and plyable even at -5F (tested). I own 2 of them, and love both!

Hi,Yes, supersoft material, arms and legs soft and bendable. This dolly is for little people to hug. Very safe. Sits fine with propping. Hope this helps!

It's hard plastic than doesn't bend. We're very happy with this -- no problems at all.

In my opinion, yes, it is soft. It is not as cushy (or thick) as those cushioned mats made to stand on for long hours; but it does have a minor give. I have some doormats that have stiff bristle-like "fibers". My cat avoids them. I consider them as not being "easy on paws". This mat is not like that at all and he has no problem with it.

I believe it is. Translucent somewhat soft silicone. I popped it in and immediately saw 100% improvement.

Yes it is, I believe it is a silicone. I've made lollipop molds and had no trouble bending them to retrieve the lollipop.
