Puzzle Mats vs. Puzzle Boards: Key Differences

Puzzle mats provide a budget-friendly, portable solution, but lack the stability and organizational features of puzzle boards. Boards are more expensive but offer superior stability, storage options, and often a more durable surface.

Choosing the Right Size

Board size depends on puzzle size and available space. Most boards range from 27" to 35" in length, with 30" x 22" accommodating most 1000-piece puzzles. Consider your puzzle preferences and space constraints when making your selection.
