The media could not be loaded. The Mount Adams yoga/exercise mat provides a thick layer of cushioning. I ordered it to keep in my office so I can perform some stretches during the day, but I started laying the mat out under my standing desk; the soft, cushioned surface allows me to kick my shoes off and stand at my desk without stress on my feet or my joints. Then when I’m feeling a little stiff from the work day and need to move, I can take a minute to stretch out my legs and back because the mat’s already set up and ready to use. All I have to do is bend over or sit down on the floor. This mat would be excellent for those with joint issues who need extra support, but it’ll feel great to anyone who uses it. The surface has good rebound so it compresses gently under pressure then bounces back and retains its shape. The thickness of this pad creates bulk and it would not be the easiest mat to transport to a yoga class, but for home or office use, I highly recommend it. Read more
My husband LOVES this mat. He incorporates yoga into his fitness and weightlifting but he has a bad knee from multiple ACL surgeries so this mat is really great! It’s thick, but not so thick that you can’t stay balanced. It seems durable as he’s been using it for months and not a crack or rip yet. I will say it’s a bit cumbersome to store. Because of its thickness, it doesn’t stay rolled. I will have to get something to wrap it. Other than that, a really sturdy mat! Read more
I'm not much of a yoga person, but I do know a comfortable mat when I see one, and the Mount Adams Extra Thick Exercise Mat is it. This mat is the perfect thickness for my morning stretches and workouts. No more sore knees or elbows, thanks to the half-inch cushioning. It stays put on the floor, which means I can focus on my form and not on sliding around. It's also been a great addition to my home gym because it's easy to clean and roll up when I'm done. It's durable, comfortable, and just what I needed to keep up with my fitness routine at home. Read more
I was really surprised when I opened this big, tall box that came that had this in it. This is NOT your thin, no padding kind of yoga mat that you can easily carry around with you. THIS the mat that will stay unrolled and set up in your dedicated work-out place! My husband and I both use this mat, and LOVE it! He uses it for floor weight lifting/work-outs and I use it for yoga. It is SUPER squishy and is perfect for our concrete basement room where we work out. Read more
I ordered this on Oct 31 and it didn't arrive until Nov 28. The shipping is incredibly slow. I wasn't in dire need of it so the wait didn't matter but it didn't still feel a tad ridiculous at how long it took to arrive. The mat is pretty decent. I really like the extra thickness of it. The thickness is much better than the other yoga mats I've owned in the past. I'm no yoga mat expert or anything but I'm pleased with this one. The comfort of my knees and back is great. The first day I used it I wore shoes as I typically work out in shoes at my house. The mat immediately got scuffed from my shoes right away. I was a little disappointed to see that. I feel like it will easily degrade/rip over time if I'm not careful at how I move my feet on the mat. I don't know if that's the case but given it scuffed so easily, it is a concern. It does not feel like a super cheap mat by any means. It seems pretty decent quality. I just was surprised it scuffed with less than 15 mins of use. Otherwise, it works well for my home workouts. It's comfortable on my knees. I love the extra thickness. I'm pleased with the product on most accounts. Read more
This mat is generously thick. It provides ample amount of cushioning and support, creating a comfy space that absorbs impact and minimizes stress on joints. It's relatively large too so it's perfect for tall people as well. This is a good stay-at-home mat because it's heavy duty. Not ideal for traveling or on-the-go since it's just too thick to carry and lug around with. I like the construction of it's durability and needed the extra padding for my bad knees. Love it and highly recommend. Read more
With its extra thickness, this Mount Adams mat provides more than enough support to help you get through workout sessions or just stretches without compromising comfort. I've only been using it for exercises where I need extra support for my joints (elbows, back, or knees) and I can definitely tell a difference between this and my old mat that I have been using for some time. Given its material, I would suggest that you wipe off any sweat or moisture right away as the surface area has a very porous texture that doesn't repel liquids very well. I took a couple of pictures to show how damp the mat looks even after wiping off my sweat within seconds. All that being said, I wish the mat's surface was less absorbent and scuff resistant. As others have pointed out, this mat gets scuffed up very easily if you use it when wearing shoes. For these reasons, I'm not sure if this mat will last a long time with regular use, and at its price point it should feel more durable. Read more
This isn't the type of yoga mat you want if your yoga studio is a few subway rides and blocks of walking away. It's heavy, because it's super thick. I got this as a birthday present for my husband and he's thrilled with the thickness of it, but a word of warning to folks that like a more lightweight mat, this probably won't be for you. Also, it doesn't come with a strap, so you'll need to supply this yourself. Beyond that, it's a great mat for those who want a bit more padding under their toes. Read more
