    I know they make 24x55 (that's what I have) you might check at some online stores to see what sizes they have available.

    There are many companies that make x-large mats.

    Here's one place to start, but it pays to Google multiple sites (for "cutting mat" ) to compare prices.

    got my 30"x60" cutting mat that fits my table- at Joannes with a 40% coupon! i love it!
    also there are these (blocks that connect) cutting boards- my hubby bought me 2 packs of them a couple years ago- you can snap them together to 'create' the size you want- and they are easy to take with you- they are each a 12" square and come in a great plastic carrying case which i re-use to carry embroidery blocks i am working on.

    I have a large mat made to fit my Horn cutting table - but to tell you the truth, it is garbage. It is the white plastic and ruins blades. I keep it on the table (since I paid a fortune for it!) and put 2 large Olfa green mats on top for cutting. I had also purchased the huge olfa mat, but it comes in 2 pieces and connects with metal clips. I didn't like that setup so returned it to JoAnns. JoAnns has a large mat that will probably fit your table (get it with a coupon) but be warned, it is the white non-healing mat and is not kind to your blades. Stick with a self-healing mat!

    Just a thought , but you may want to use two smaller ones butted up together, so if one part wears out you can replace without having the cost of the big mat .. the really big mats are quite pricey!

    Thanks for the heads up on the white mat, mine is sitting under a futon right now as it is too big for my Horn cabinet when I am using the sewing machine,

    That's what I do and when the new one comes in..I rotate the used one to the area where I work the most!! Saves money in the long run!!

    Here is a link to a mat that was being sold at our sewing/quilting festival just a couple of weeks ago.
