Good cushioning and durable 4 out of 5

Type of workout: Abdominal
Cushioning: 4 of 5 stars
Durability: 4 of 5 stars
I use the mat 3 times a week for my ab routine and I'm on it for the majority of the workout. I mainly purchased it for cushioning because my older, thinner mat wasn't providing any for my coccyx. It was painful and uncomfortable for me but the pain and discomfort disappeared after using this mat for my ab workouts and I'm very satisfied with it. If I need more cushioning, I just fold one of the parts up and I'm ready to perform those Russian twists without discomfort.
The wear and tear just started to show a couple of months ago, which is pretty amazing since I throw it around the cement floor when I use it. You can't tell from the picture but each part of the mat has a zipper to access the foam. This is great because they're giving you easy access if you want to clean or replace the foam.
The only downside to this is how slippery it can get. I sweat profusely during workouts and when I need to perform a side bridge/bridge, my forearms slip away slowly from the original position I placed them. Of course the solution to this is to use a towel but they should upgrade the material to a non-slip surface in the future.
Nevertheless, it's a great exercise mat.
What padding? 2 out of 5
I was disappointed with the ability of this mat to cushion my sitting bones while doing P90X (P90X+) ab routines. The 3/4" floor matting I use does a little better job, and what's the point of adding this on top of the matting if the padding immediately gives way when you sit on it? Padding needs to pad.
Great product 5 out of 5
I have severe muscle spasms in my low back and have to do exercises to strengthen my core. With my back still sore this thick mat is great. It is large enough to do my stretches and thick enough that I don't have pain doing them. It is a good quality mat also, folds up nicely for storage and easy to carry with the handles sewn into the mat.
Exercise Matt 4 out of 5
I like the mat. It has plenty of cushion and folds up nicely. My only complaint is I wish it was a little longer. When I do push ups, it tends to slip on my carpet. I am learning to work around this and would probably not discount it for this reason only. I believe the other matts are the same length
great mat! 5 out of 5
This is a perfect mat. I have a hardwood floor and needed something to cushion my body for floor exercises. It folds up nicely for storage.
