VixxNoxx LSJ-XGB2 Wool Turntable Slipmat, 2-Pack, 30cm, Green & Navy Blue
Product description
Some turntable owners want a simple surface to place under a record, others are looking for a mat that may also help limit static and vibration. The VixxNoxx LSJ-XGB2 is a wool slipmat supplied as a pair, in green and navy blue.
Each mat is listed at 30cm (11.81 inches) in diameter and 3mm (0.12 inches) thick. The stated fit is for most standard 12-inch turntables, so the dimensions are useful to compare with your platter before choosing.
Its anti-static, anti-slip, and vibration-control properties are intended to support smoother playback and help protect records. How much those qualities matter will depend on your existing setup and what you want from a mat.

The pair gives you two mats in different colors, rather than one single mat. The listed material is wool, and the product description also highlights a soft, anti-slip surface. Its stated purpose is to reduce static interference and unwanted vibration, while providing a protective layer between the platter and record. These are intended benefits, not a guarantee of a particular change in sound, the listing does not provide measured performance results.
Practical tips
Check the stated size against your turntable platter and the mat you currently use. The listing describes the fit as suitable for most standard 12-inch turntables, not every model or platter configuration. If you are replacing an existing mat, compare its diameter and thickness with the listed 30cm and 3mm measurements so the new layer is appropriate for your setup.
The two-color set can also be useful if you want a spare or prefer to switch between green and navy blue. The provided details do not specify a cleaning method beyond the manufacturer's general guidance to wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or use a mild cleaning solution. Avoid assuming that a different cleaning method is suitable for wool.
How to use it
Place one slipmat on the turntable platter, then set the record on top before playback. Its role is straightforward: provide a soft surface intended to reduce friction, static buildup, and vibration while helping protect the record. You’ll appreciate it if you want those features in a replacement mat or a second mat for another compatible setup.
This is a passive accessory, not a change to the turntable itself. Compared with leaving a record directly on a hard platter surface, it adds a cushioning layer, someone seeking a more substantial upgrade to playback hardware would be looking at a different kind of purchase. Better avoided if your platter is not suited to the stated 12-inch format, since the listing only claims a fit for most standard 12-inch turntables.
Practical questions
Does the set include one mat or two? It is listed as a two-piece set, with green and navy blue mats.
What size are the mats? Each is specified as 30cm (11.81 inches) in diameter and 3mm (0.12 inches) thick, for most standard 12-inch turntables.
How can the mat be cleaned? The manufacturer suggests wiping it with a soft, dry cloth or using a mild cleaning solution to remove dust and debris.
When it makes sense
This set makes sense when you want a wool slipmat in the stated dimensions, value having two color options, and are looking for a surface designed to help manage static and vibration while protecting records. It may suit routine home listening or a compatible turntable setup where replacing or keeping a spare mat is useful. Choose based on fit first: the product details do not establish compatibility with every turntable, nor do they quantify how much any listener will notice a sound difference.
