This mat was exactly what I needed for my physical therapy, which is for a hip and requires me to be on the ground a lot. Previously I tried yoga mats but while they are good for protecting from a hard floor for yoga, I did not find them as comfortable to lay on and workout. This mat is easy to fold and unfold. Has built in handles for carrying (like walking with a giant fabric briefcase), and is covered with a nylon cover that is easy to wipe down after a workout. I thought the fabric would be uncomfortable but it isn’t. It’s rough to the touch when you first feel it with your hand, but when you’re using it, it’s no problem. I also wasn’t how sure a 24” wide mat would fit for a workout but there’s more than enough room. This isn’t solid foam rubber (like a super thick yoga mat)…it’s more memory foam type of foam…you know, the kind used for filler…but it is very sturdy and supportive. That said, I feel like this is going to flatten over time. But maybe it’ll prove me wrong. I’ve only used it about a week so far. PROS Easy to fold/store Built in handles that don’t get in the way during use Supportive Comfortable Easy to wipe down CONS Despite the built in handles and foldability, this thing would be ludicrous to carry anywhere but to your car and back Seems very likely to lose its shape (but maybe it’ll stay firm, too soon to tell) Good for a workout, not recommended for yoga—too thick and foamy, not great for balance Read more

This mat has been a fantastic addition to my workout routine. It’s nice and thick, providing excellent cushioning and support during exercises. The tri-fold design makes it easy to store when not in use, and it’s durable enough to handle regular use. Whether I’m stretching, doing floor exercises, or just need extra comfort, this mat works perfectly. I’m really pleased with its quality and performance, it's a great value for the money. Read more

I'm 6'1 and 180 lbs, and needed a mat that would fit my frame. I wanted a longer mat (a 3'x8' would be perfect), but for the price and the amount of room I have to store it, this mat was the best bang for the buck, even if it is just a tad too short. The 24" mats were too narrow for me since the edge of my shoulders and arms would lay on the floor when doing exercises. The next mat up from this that I could find was a 4'8', and that was just too much mat for me. The one thing I really like about this mat is that it is firm, and also that it comes in black. I can slide it under my couch and since it's not a bright blue or bright red, it doesn't detract from the living room decor. I didn't want a mat that was too soft or too hard, and this one seems to fall right in the Goldilocks zone, just right. It folds up really easy, and there is a velcro strip on the side walls. This velcro strip will let you add another mat next to it, or you can just press the handles (that also have velcro on them) into the sidewalls when it's folded up and that will help keep it secure on one side. You can't secure the other side, but with one side secure it keeps all folded-up pretty good. It's like a built-in strap without them putting a strap on it. The handles work well too and haven't gotten in my way while doing exercises. When it's unfolded, you can press the handles into the sidewalls so they don't get in the way of your workout. It's vinyl and easy to clean, just spray and wipe. I'm marking the mat down a star because one of the vinyl panels is a little looser than the other two. It'd be great if they were all nice and tight, but they're not. The person making it just needed to pay more attention to detail; I'm sure this will vary by mat. It works though, and I'll continue to use it. The looseness of one panel could annoy some if you're going to be jumping and moving around on it a lot. Since I only use it for ab work, it's not an issue. FYI, this mat is not good for yoga as you'll want something more firm. I've been using it for P90x and it works fine, with the exception of the Yoga part of course. If you're going to do P90x and want just one mat, get a Manduka Yoga Mat. If you have any questions about this mat that I haven't addressed, just ask in the comments and I'll try and respond promptly. Read more
