As an avid player of DDR. If you're going to continue to just play on foam mats. Get this,
BNS DX Xtreme Fusion Dance Pad w/ Xtreme Dense Inserts w/ 3 in 1 PS2/XBOX/PC connection for 58.95 or the sparkle version (womenz version) for the same price at here

Trust me, when i use to play on foam mats that thing was accurate, took a beating and never messed up. They are VERY good mats. I gave my old one to my parents when i bought a cobalt flux

Also if you do decide to play on a foam mat, don't play on carpet, that's a sure fire way to kill your pad.

Edit: To unstick a pad i usually just remove the foam and smooth out the area around it, but it generally sticks again and is going to result into you needing a new pad anyway.
