Harbinger3 Part Tri-Fold Exercise Gym Mat, 2-Inch, Black

My tailbone sticks out and it really hurts trying to do sit ups on a hard surface (hardwood floors).Even with a yoga mat, the pain around my tailbone becomes unbearable in minutes.I wanted an exercise mat with a cushion thick enough to buffer my tailbone and the floor, and this mat did the trick!!!It's definitely study enough for sit-ups.However, I'm not sure how strong the stitching between the pads are and I am not sure if it will tear under extreme physical activity (e.g. active tumbling, dancing)

Sit-ups are a regular part of my life. Every morning, 125 to 150, been doing that for over 20 years. Mostly on a carpeted floor in the same area of my house and yes, I know all about "rug burn". Especially lately, after losing some weight, I found that the friction against the carpet from my mid-upper vertebra were actually a.) wearing holes in the back of my shirt and b.) producing a *bleeding* sore on my back! Hmmm, maybe time to get something to do sit-ups on?Chose the Harbinger because it had 2 inch padding a folded up, so easy to store it against the wall. Also due to good reviews here. Not disappointed. Long enough to stretch out on and the material really sticks to you during exercise like sit-ups. You will not slide off this thing. Could be a tad wider, but that is a minor quibble. Quality looks good, hopefully it will last for many years.Just wish I had not been so cheap and avoided buying a proper exercise mat for so long. My back feel better already!

I recommend one of these for every home gym

This Harbinger exercise mat is great. It is firm and travels well. It folds up for storage with a nice handle. I bought this mat after hurting my back and needed to do back exercises on something firm but not on the floor which is too hard. So, my daughter had one while I was visiting and it worked well. The firmness is just right. I took it on road trips with me and it travels well.I will continue to use it. After exercising, the mat is so comfortable that I find myself taking a little snooze on it as well.

Nice.
