ProsourceFit Extra Thick Yoga and Pilates Mat ½” (13mm) or 1" (25mm), 71-inch Long High Density Exercise Mat with Comfort Foam and Carrying Strap

It's thick, it's spongey, might get a bit slippery from sweat, but it's exactly what I was looking for; I use it for post run stretches and it's really satisfying having that much sponge to take the edge off the hard floor. It does seem like it'll get easily damaged, but if you're using it in a studio, it'll be great, although people might think you're bringing a camping mattress with you.

Love it. The mat protects your joints from the pressure of exercising. Will buy again.

Use for Yoga, really nice on hard floors as the mat is a good thickness.

I'm 6'3-6'4 depending on the time of day, I weigh *just* under 400lbs thanks to a decade of sedentary work followed by six months of better eating and exercise. Now that I've hit a point where I can be on a stationary bike for like, 30-40 minutes without getting gassed and I'm getting up to about 5 minutes on an elliptical at a time, I've been looking at ways to do other low-impact exercise and increase my ability to recover after lifting. I've been really digging the hip adductor/abductor machines, but they make my leg muscles suuuper tight and my flexibility already wasn't great. So, stretches! Problem? Yoga mats are for small, skinny people. I'm big, my butt don't fit on the mat right. I'm heavy, the little thin mats might as well not exist when I kneel on them, under my weight the matt compresses so much it's literally just like kneeling directly on the hard ground and, again, I'm heavy so that hurts. Solution! An INCH-THICK squishy mat that's slightly wider than all the ones at the gym so my big butt fits on it and at no point do I ever feel my bones on the ground. I will say, it's actually so thick I can't "securely" stand on it, my feet are always moving around because it's so springy. I might need to pick up the 1/2" version as well so that I have one I can hold standing positions longer without wiggling around. But! For doing the big ground stretches, trying to do sort of "splits" to increase mobility, this is perfect, because my bad knees never get tired or hurt and I can just DO all my long floor stretches now even though I'm tall and big and heavy and stiff.

Fijne mat, mijn kussens van de bank waren slap geworden en nu deze mat eronder geplaatst en hij zit weer als nieuw. Het stuk wat over bleef gebruik ik om op mijn knieen te kunnen werken, Echt super!
