The mat was a Christmas gift to my girl friend. She works out twice a day, every day and she absolutely loves this new mat.

This is a great mat, very sturdy, and highly padded. I am using it for the floor portions of my cardio and yoga workouts. It's a real cushion, tons better than any yoga mat I've seen.

But be aware that you if you're looking for something primarily for yoga, this mat might present some problems if you're moving from standing to lying down poses. For the standing portion, it's too cushiony to get good balance under your feet. You kind of need to step off the mat for anything standing up, then get back onto it for lying down. For some flows, this may be inconvenient.

This is the best mat I have ever used. I recently removed my carpet and installed wood floors so I needed something thick to protect my bones.

I looked on E-bay but couldn’t find a better mat for the price than this won.

This mat doesn’t need a cover; just wipe clean with a damp cloth! It makes you want to excercise more because it’s so comfortable!

longer than most mats I find this plush enough that I don’t feel the floor and long enough that I can stretch out. Good product.

After having using this mat with many of my clients, there are a few quick notes you should know:

Only one person could use this mat at a time for crunches, it's not wide enough at two feet for most people to crunch sideways on it.

The Vinyl covering of a tumbling mat is much easier to keep clean than a typical foam mat. It's as easy to clean as a weight bench. You only need to clean it with antibacterial cleaner.

Because it folds, it doesn't keep it's curl like rolled mats will.

The price is excellent at 30 dollars. I bought a Gold's gym foam mat for the same price from WalMart, but that one got dirty much faster.

Lastly, like furniture on a carpet, foam mats depress when you continually apply pressure, but this mat seems more resilient.

In closing, as a trainer, I'd buy this mat even for group exercise classes. It's the best value on Amazon for $30 or less! Rating: 5 / 5
