I am retired military, so exercise has always been a part of my daily routine. Since the pandemic I have had to adjust, which is hard because the gym has the equipment I have become accustomed to. I didn’t realize how different it was working out there as when I started to work out at home on my hard wood floors (no carpet anywhere). I thought it would be easy but the military exercise mat is entirely too thin and was making my tailbone hurt tremendously, so I had to give up my sit-ups and some other ab exercises. This kind of threw a wrench into my routine and I could start feeling my motivation go away. I decided to take a look on Amazon for a thicker mat. I should have done this long ago because I found this one I’m writing about. It’s the shape of any typical exercise Matt except it’s 1” thick. It appears to be made of a type of foam (not bothering to look at the description right now). When I pulled it out I thought I was going to sink in making sit-ups even harder but it’s firm but not hard. I like it better than what is at the gym. Durability will be hard to determine until I’ve had it a while but I’m definitely excited to start back up on my exercises. I recommend this mat if you have hard wood floors, bad back, bad knees, etc. I thought I read some negative reviews about mats this thick because of yoga and balance but I beg to differ. If balancing is part of your exercise routine, then a mat which makes balance harder is exactly what you want. Exercise is supposed to be challenging and you need to work harder to see a difference. If that isn’t your goal or if balance is a medical issue, this may not be the right mat for you. Something you may not think about is I have chronic foot pain and this mat makes it less painful for me to stand or jump. For me, this mat is perfect.

This mat is good quality and super thick and comfortable! I love it!

What I liked: The mat is thick and great for sore joints that can't handle being on a thin yoga mat on the floor. The extra padding makes it great for any kneeling, headwork, or floor work. I bought it for my aging mom who has arthritic joints and would not like sitting on the floor with a normal yoga mat. Now she will do floor work with the thicker mat! The strap is easy to wrap around and is much easier than shoving a sticky yoga mat into a tube bag! It comes in an assortment of 7 colors (black, red, purple, teal, grey, blue, pink) What I disliked: It says "anti-tear", but that is not true. There are tears that have shown in the middle of the mat where little chunks have come out. The edges have not torn and there are no tears all the way through, but just from storing and traveling it has gotten some small chunks torn out of it here and there. The extra cushioning makes it harder to balance when standing so there's less stability and connection to the floor, but that's expected with any kind of extra cushioning in a workout product. Would I buy again: Maybe. I would like a mat that doesn't tear, like the thinner yoga mats that have a stronger threading.

This mat has been the only one that has been thick enough that the floor doesn't hurt my back and knees. The double sided non-slip surface stays firmly locked to floor during workout.

I love this mat. I wish they had it in larger sizes. The only one I have truly non slip. Extremely comfortable especially on my back. Great price.

It’s very thick and soft so it makes exercising a lot easier. It rolls easily ready to store. And it seems very durable. It is also flexible for certain exercises for balance.

Thick and soft enough for sit-ups on a hard floor. No smell and the carrying straps work great.

Love to exercise on it

Kalınlığı tam istediğim gibi. Rengini de beğendim.fotoğraftakinin aynısı. Ayrıca kaymıyor.iyi paketlenmiş şekilde geldi.teşekkürler

Very bad quality

The mat is of poor quality. It is 6mm thick not 1 inch thick. It does not have a carrying strap as advertised. I paid for Red they delivered pink. Do not trust this seller.

The mat is nice and thick, might be a little bit wobbly
