USED to be, Rubbermaid had FLEXABLE sink mats....had mine for years and years then decided to UPDATE. The new products are STIFF, never really stay put in the sink during dishwashing. Slip and slide and end up sideways. In their defense, they do protect the china (when the mat is in place) but don't even think about scouring pots and pans since you chase the pan all over the sink trying to polish it. VERY disappointing !
