This review is from: Harbinger 340303 Durafoam Exercise Mat 5/8" x 24" x 72" (Red) (Sports)
This mat provides excellent padding and traction for the exercises I do which include situps and kneeing on my basement concrete floor. It is also easy to clean and stow away. At 5/8", it is one of the thickest mats not for gymnastics or martial arts that I could find. Highly recommended.

Thick enough for "old" bones,

I am a 55 year young woman who was encouraged by my personal trainer to take Pilates to strengthen my core and improve my balance. The mats provided at the gym were meant for Yoga, and while they kept me from slipping on the floor, doing any sort of exercise where we were required to lie on our sides just killed my hip joints. This thicker mat was a lifesaver. It was thick enough to cushion my hip joints as well as enable me to exercise barefooted, something I had great difficult doing due to massive amounts of foot surgery (don't you just love high heels?). I had read a review that the mat could only be rolled one direction because of the built in straps, thus creating a permanent curl. This was easily remedied by flipping the mat over when using it, and I had no problem with the mat slipping when being used on the opposite side. For me, it accomplished exactly what I wanted it to do - protected my bones while I got the exercise I needed.

great for pilates, not so much for yoga,

This review is from: Harbinger 340303 Durafoam Exercise Mat 5/8" x 24" x 72" (Red) (Sports)
I've used this mat for about 6 months. The thickness is great for pilates & floor exercises, especially on the knees. However, in various yoga poses, such as downward dog & plank, the soft, pliant, foamy material stretches WAY out (a lot like a rubber band) while I'm in the pose, so that my hands & feet keep getting further & further apart & I have to keep moving them in to keep the pose. The stretchy problem has gotten worse over time. It's also too thick (at my level) for the balance exercises, so I do the standing ones on the hard floor.
