Harbinger 340303 Durafoam Exercises Mat 5/8" x 24" x 72" (Red)

It's just my "do floor stuff" exercise mat, and I bought others for family. We all like it. Extra thick and soft.

Stinky, too, but that goes away eventually. Some say wash it in the bath, but I never got around to it.

Also great for camping or general sleep-over duty. Nice foam.

I find doing yoga poses where you are pressing your knee into the floor with a standard thickness mat to be extremely uncomfortable, so I thought I'd try something thicker.

This mat is definitely thick and comfortable. I think it may be a tad too thick which may make you a bit unstable as you move from pose to pose or try to hold certain poses. I'd like to try a mat that's 1/2", if there is such a thing, or maybe 3/8".

The mat IS comfortable for my knees, though. I just wish it came in a more attractive color. I also don't really like the velcro straps being attached...the mat tends to curl up on the ends so I tried flipping the mat over to use the other side, but that left the velcro hook-side-up which ended up grabbing my hair scrunchy and pulling it out of my hair.

And of course, it's rather bulky and doesn't fit in a yoga mat bag.

I've used this mat for about 6 months. The thickness is great for pilates & floor exercises, especially on the knees. However, in various yoga poses, such as downward dog & plank, the soft, pliant, foamy material stretches WAY out (a lot like a rubber band) while I'm in the pose, so that my hands & feet keep getting further & further apart & I have to keep moving them in to keep the pose. The stretchy problem has gotten worse over time. It's also too thick (at my level) for the balance exercises, so I do the standing ones on the hard floor.

This is a wonderful pilates mat! The thickness of it makes it so comfortable to exercise on. I also love the length of it- so many mats are so short. I'm very happy with this product.

Loved this mat. Easy to travel with, extra cushioning...makes me look forward to getting on the floor.

thanks!
