Flooring Incs 5 8 Premium Soft Foam Gym Mat High-Density Gym Flooring for Home Gym Interlocking Foam Tiles

I bought these all the way back in 2018 because I have hard wood floors and my youngest was learning to stand and I did not want them bonking their head too hard on said floors. I am pleased to tell anyone that these have truly lasted. In fact they are still soft after all these years and still protecting all of my family's heads ,shoulders, knees and toes. They started peeling last year after 6 years of being in the most trafficked, most played on, most spilled on space in the house. They have held up admirably. I cannot recommend these highly enough.

My wife and I ordered a 25 pack of the gray tiles. When I received them I was very happy with the quality of the material. It was just the right density, not to squishy, not too firm. if you step on it with all your weight on your heels, you will feel yourself sink into it a little bit. If you stand normal, you barely notice that you sink into it, yet if feels very forgiving. Our usage of it is not quiet the normal. We recently added Movnat training into our routine. It involves a lot of time on the ground. Working from seated positions and transitioning into other movements such as lunges without using the hands to get up. Also, a lot of rolling flips, crawls, jumps, etc. with an emphasis on smooth, unhurried controlled movements. The knees and elbows spend a lot of time in contact with the floor doing this. We wanted something firm enough that it doesn't feel like moving in sand where you sink in, but cushioned enough that the occasional not so smooth movement would be forgiving on the knees and elbows. The density and thickness have been perfect for our needs. We have a one car garage at our apartment and there isn't a lot of extra parking available, so we need to pull one car into the garage every night. I wanted to try these tiles and just deal with putting them down for workouts, then picking them up when we are done. What we found was a perfect solution. We arranged them into a square 5 tiles wide and 5 tiles long. The puzzle connections go together and come apart very smoothly while holding firm once in position. We were able to figure out a method for putting them down and taking them up in just 3-4 minutes. We leave one row of 5 tiles down because its not in the way of our car parking., We start with the opposite side of the square and just put our fingers under the tile and remove the puzzle connection in a row. So basically I take it up like a 10 foot long seam and I have a row of 5 tiles that are connected to each other, and I lean that row up on the wall. I repeat this and end up with 4 rows of 5 tiles leaning on the wall. Then when its time to put them back down, I put them down in rows of 5. It is very fast, very easy, and the tiles do not warp or bend with doing this. Each time I put it down it looks as smooth as the first time I put it down. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality foam flooring option. Read more

I started P90X3 and there's a workout that requires you to jump. These mats help four fold, 1) muffle sound; 2) reduce impact on joints; 3) reduces stress on knees; and 4) provides a larger space than a yoga mat. 1. I live in a condo highrise and while I was doing a workout at 5 am I noticed I was making a lot of noise that could potentially wake my below neighbor(s). This caused me to not workout as hard to help reduce noise, which is counterproductive for my workout. However, if you lived in a house this would also help in reducing noise if you're an earlier riser who enjoys working out first thing. 2. Some of my workouts require me to jump a lot for plyometric. Having a mat helps reduce stress on my knee and hip joints. Stuff I didn't think about in my youth and now that I'm moving into my middle ages, I think about more b/c my body won't let me forget. 3. When you kneel, your knees will thank you. Sorry, yoga or jump mats just don’t provide enough cushion for your knees. I found these to be perfect and they don’t leave any residual grid or other marks from the mat in my knees –unforeseen perk. 4. Lastly, there’s more space –b/c sometimes you just need more space to move around. I started with 36 squ. feet, i.e., a 6 ft by 6 ft area. I will be adding an extra foot –changing to 49 squ. feet or 7x7ft. I’m adding additional due to agility routines I use, it provides more space and I won’t fear leaping off the mat. Also, there is nothing worse than being on a warm mat and your leg/arm or other appendage touches the cold floor. These also breakdown easy, so you don't have to leave them up 24/7 if you choose. You can also roll your area rug over the mat and it just provides more cushion and noise control, which is what I do. I highly recommend them. One down size is if you have a dog –you’ll have hair all over it. You may need to wash down the mats every so often. The company was prompt with the delivery. No complaints. Read more
