Extra Thick Yoga and Pilates Mats 1-inch

I need it for my Canadian Airforce Exercises which I do at home. Being a lady of 77 years old, my balance suits the thickness of this mat otherwise I would topple over. I’m 5’ 8” and the length is perfect so I don’t have to shuffle back and forth while doing the floor exercises. Nice quality. Comfortable. Very happy.

This mat is ideal for all forms of exercise. It's lovely and thick and although feels soft and a bit squishy when standing on it (and that's not a problem), it feels firm and supportive for Yoga, Pilates, warm ups, cool downs etc. I just love it. I used to use four of the normal thin mats on top of each other and got fed up with them moving around so this mat is perfect. It's probably too thick to carry around with you but I don't think you would buy it if that's what you wanted to do. Some reviews mentioned the smell but unless you put your nose on it there is no smell. Very happy with this mat and would definitely recommend.

I've been doing some intense indoor activity recently (Insanity and P90x to be precise) and due to not being very active past couple of years I had horrific shin splints / hip and knee pain (old injuries) This mat is THE BEST THING, absorbs A LOT of impact, prevents so much pain. I've had another exercise mat for a while but it's too thin and also constantly curls up in weird ways while on the floor due to the way it's stored and the material used; this one lays out flat perfectly despite being stored via rolling up also and is a million times better in terms of preventing injury / comfort. It's quite a spongy material so I hope it doesn't wear down too quickly or get torn, however for the comfort it provides and the price it's at I wouldn't mind replacing this every now and then one bit (and it may not even need replacing at any point we shall see!) I honestly couldn't recommend this enough, you should have seen the look on my face as I jumped and landed with zero pain - not had that for a while. Total life saver. If you suffer from similar injuries / aches don't even hesitate, buy this mat! Best I've experienced by a clear mile.

I suffer with a hip condition from pregnancy and have found completing stretches/yoga on the thin mats super uncomfortable. This mat as advertised is 1.5" thick and provides impact absorption, offering a much more comfortable workout. The mat is very thick when rolled, approx 25" (when it first arrived and rolled tightly), so you cannot store in small spaces when not in use. It is approx 24" wide and 72" long when rolled out. The carry handle is a long piece of elastic with a loop either end, very easy to put on and secure enough for you to carry to and from classes etc. The mat is ribbed designed to offer extra grip when in use. It is non slip and has yet to move when I have used it. Due to the foam material, I would imagine it would be no good for hot yoga/higher intensity work outs, as you would slip. It is moisture resistant and is ribbed ... but when sweating you do slip a little. I clean it after use, very easy to wipe down. As a newbie to yoga, this mat is perfect to support me whilst I strengthen and recover. It comes in a variety of colours and for the price ... is a good mat! Using it means I can exercise and feel relatively comfortable, perfect if you suffer from a injury/condition and need a little extra support! :) I do expect I will be purchasing a thinner yoga mat as I progress, I believe I would struggle to complete more difficult moves on this mat, due to it's thickness affecting balance. This being said, it ticks all the boxes for me for my needs now and I am very happy! I hope this review was helpful.

Vey good quality,great slip resistance and the thickness is great

I needed a very thick yoga mat which didn't slip around on in my loft which has floorboards and no carpet. My existing thin rubber yoga mat just wasn't comfortable anymore. After having a look at many different options, I thankfully managed to purchase one of the few remaining yoga mats in this series (it seems as though they are having trouble getting supplies of other more popular colours). I have to say that this mat is fantastic. It far exceeded my expectations. You can easily buy thick mats from other brands, but the problem is they slip around. This one stays firmly in place and is super comfortable to use on a hard wood floor. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these mats again, highly recommended

This is BRILLIANT for pilates if you have joint pain. Much thicker and squoodgier than other mats - this is a springy rubbery mat rather than a firm foam one. I was amused by some reviews that say it's not good because you can't stand on it - yes, it's definitely not designed to stand on, but the floor is!! I am doing pilates to help with chronic back pain and was struggling to lie on the firmer, thinner mats, but this gives just the right level of cushioning for your joints whilst providing the support you need to do the exercises. The carry handle is elastic and a bit lose, but providing you don't plan on slinging on the back of a bike, you'll be fine. Good range of colours too!

I love this pilates mat. It is quite thick - 1 inch - so offers a great cushioning when doing pilates workouts, supine yoga workouts and some lying down physiotherapy exercises. It is not suitable for standing yoga workouts as for that you need a thin mat. The quality of the mat is excellent, it comes with a carrying strap which is quite handy. I use this mat everyday and am very happy with it.

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.

I was looking at a much more expensive mat that was advertised as being an inch thick but the reviews said it wasn’t so I didn’t order it. Then I doing this one which is less than half the price and thought there must be a catch, but it’s perfect and I’d have happily paid more.

Wow! What a great product. It exceeds my expectations. I built myself a 2’x6’ bench and purchased this for the top of my bench. Firm enough to the touch yet provides enough softness and support. Love it, and once in a while I might even put it on the floor to do yoga or other exercise and physical activities on it.

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