About
Founded by musicians and creatives.
SLIP MATTER started with a simple idea: the slipmat that comes with your turntable is, at best, boring — and at worst, ugly. Most replacement options aren't much better. Printed band logos. Stock optical illusions. Generic designs that look like an afterthought.
We thought the thing sitting on your platter — the thing you see every time you put on a record — should be worth looking at. So we started making slipmats with original artwork. Designs that feel like they belong in your setup, not slapped onto it.
We started this company to fill a gap we saw in the vinyl world: high-quality slip mats that sound amazing, feel right, and actually look good in your space. Every SLIP MATTER mat is double-sided, printed on high-quality 21 oz. felt, and made in the USA. The artwork is integrated directly into the felt — it won't scratch your vinyl, won't peel, won't fade.
We're a small operation based in Los Angeles. We design everything ourselves, print in small batches, and ship flat so your mat arrives ready for the platter.
Common questions
Do your slipmats fit my turntable?
All SLIP MATTER slipmats are 12 inches in diameter and designed to fit any standard turntable platter.
Are both sides really printed?
Yes. Every mat is printed with our original designs on both sides. No blank backing.
Will the print scratch my records?
No. The artwork is integrated directly into the felt, not printed on top as a surface layer. It's smooth to the touch and safe for your vinyl.
What is 21 oz. felt?
It refers to the weight and density of the felt material. 21 oz. is a premium weight — thicker and more durable than the thin felt mats typically included with turntables.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do — you'll just need to cover shipping costs.
Are the slip mats sold individually or as a pair?
We sell our slipmats individually. We understand that in DJ culture these typically come as a pair, but we wanted to give you more flexibility. The average casual listener may only need one, and selling individually lets you mix and match different designs if you want two.
How should I clean my slipmat?
Store it flat on your platter or in a clean, dry space. Use a lint roller to gently remove dust when needed. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to preserve color vibrancy.
