I still have my two original mats, 1 A4 size and the other A3. They're hardly
used as I also have a thing called a lapsack. It's like a flat tray with a
bean-filled cushion underneath, and it sits snugly on my lap, giving me plenty
of space for my optacon and a book. The surface is non-slip. I've had the thing
for so long I can't remember where I got it.
Cheers,
Anne
