Folding Exercise Mat

I purchased this for my 6 year old for Christmas. She started gymnastics a couple of months ago and practices night and day. We have all hard floors in our home, tile and hardwood, and I was afraid she was going to end up hurting herself so we gave her this early. There hasn't been a single day that she hasn't used it. It has increased her confidence so much because it eliminated the fear of falling and I certainly feel better with her using it. It's quite large at 4'x8' but it folds up into 4 sections with carrying handles. I've also found it to be quite versatile. In class, they use it folded, and have them do their backbends with their feet on the folded mat and hats on the floor to allow them to practice the "walkover". Once they get good at the highest level, they unfold one section and go again until they are able to walk over from a flat position. She has been able to practice that at home with this mat as well. It's very sturdy and well made and I imagine it will continue to get a lot of use throughout the years.

I actually ordered this for my horses. They love to stand on it. It’s made pretty well considering the abuse it takes!

Just buy it. I want to live on this thing. Soft but firm, easy to fold open/closed, and move with the handles. It hasn't held any indents so it seems pretty sturdy so far. Love it for stretching, Yoga, having a.lie down after a walk. The size is also solid - the 4x8 or larger is the way to go.

I bought a slightly better quality 4ftx8ft mat from a competitor at 3x the cost with shipping. No regrets because it saved my knees doing plyometrics and jumping rope. When I saw my neighbor's kids who both like playing basketball doing jump training on their concrete driveway, I decided to get a mat for each of them as a graduation present. I found 4x10 for $99 mats by We Sell Mats on Amazon but they were out of stock indefinitely. So, I called the manufacture here in the US who was very friendly and straight forward. I explained the mat I was currently using a and the intended use of the mat I wished to purchase. She said the mat I was interested in was not quite the quality of the I had but was more than adequate for doing jumping exercises for a 200-pound person. They did make a mat that was comparable but it was more $ but still much less expensive than my mat. She explained that they came up with this mat to compete with cheap foreign imports so they could offer good quality mats at a low price. I asked if I could order the mats form her. She advised that they were in the process of renewing their agreement with Amazon and I wait 7-10 days because if I was an Amazon Prim member, I would get free shipping. Five days later I was able to order the mats thru Amazon Prim which ere promptly delivered. The neighbors love the mats and I get a wonderful feeling every time I see them using the mats. I even seen their dad working out with them from time to time.

We love this mat. We use it at least 2x per day for pilates, yoga, and resistence training. It folds to a nice size - fits right in the closet and is compact. The density and thickness of the foam inside is just great, making using it comfortable for old knees. This is the only complaint I have: There is a velcro seam/extra allowance along the perimeter of the mat that isn't listed in the description. If you wanted to velcro multiple mats together, it would be great. But for us, it is a hindrence and catches on your clothes. Recommend this being put in the description.

I built a little gym in my garage. A pull up bar, a TRX/Suspension traîner and this mat in 4x8. I put some grommets in the mat so I can hang it on the wall and take it down instantly when I want to use it. This mat is perfect for TRX work outs where a yoga mat is too short and narrow. It also puts a much nicer barrier between me and my garage floor. Hanging it made sure it wasn’t taking up space, and as an added bonus it protects the wall from damage during pull ups and I think looks nice as well. My only significant gripe is the branding. The “We Sell Mats” is fairly large and I may have considered a different brand of mat for this alone. Otherwise it’s great.

*I'm on mobile so I'll update shortly with photos/videos, more details etc. I've been using this new ECO mat daily the past 3 weeks for my physical therapy which involves stretches and low impact exercises. It's become a wonderful routine thanks to the ease and comfort this new mat is providing. Out of the box it's ready to go, no airing out needed because this mat is toxin free and also there's no waiting for it to expand. It's just automatically the correct dimensions listed. It folds out and back up in seconds. I worried how much more comfort a two inch thick mat could provide than my other mats because I weigh 210 and usually all that pressure on one section of a mat would cause them to divit or sink or lose shape but surprisingly and wonderfully this ECO mat from WeSellMats withstands all my weight and after 3 weeks there's no outward signs of use. It still looks brand new and has the comfort it supplied from day one. The handles are conviently placed out of the way so that they don't poke out of the middle of the mat, there's little to no way to catch your feet or hands on them which I would think is a clear design point but some companies oddly don't take this route. With constant or continued use there's been no build up of moisture underneath and the material isn't sticky or slippery so I have little worry of sliding. I've used this in a number of places inside and outside, and not just for excercising but for comfort as well. It's been great for outdoor events, this weekend I'm bringing it to Botanical Gardens for a "star party". No worry about the cold/wet ground ruining my evening of star gazing. My favourite part is actually a feature I have yet to try and that's the Velcro lining the sides. My younger sister is a huge help with my physical therapy. Before school we do some yoga out on the porch and she's right beside me on this copying my stances and poses. Though mine is big enough to accommodate the both of us I can't wait to have another that can attach directly to this one for her own use. Doubles the size, doubles the fun.

I am a big man working on getting back into shape and that includes doing stretching/yoga/mobility training. I was tired of my knees and arms and myself going off a regular yoga mat...hardwood floors are not friendly to one's knees! This mat is awesome and brings back nostalgic memories of my earlier days in Jukado...very similar thick mat that can handle size with no problem. It leans on the side of super firm and perhaps may break in some over time but you can tell this mat is built to last! I am very pleased with this purchase and would really enjoy it if they made a 8'x5'x2" mat...that would be a dream. Who knows, the company could have made that size but I am quite happy with mine!
