I purchased one of these for my wife for Christmas last year. After getting it in the house we wondered what the SMELL was. It turns out to be related to this mat. We left it outside when we could for the first month or two, unzipped, hoping the nasty chemical odor would go away. It never did. It was strong enough that you could sense it when you walked in the room, and we didn't want to be in the same room with it. The smell seems to come from the foam inside the zipped sections. I can't tell you what it is, but you won't like it.

The mat spent the summer outside and is now out in the shed. It's been unzipped for months and it still smells. It will go to the Goodwill or the dump. This is another great example of Chinese junk that's not worth the money you spend on it, and it may carry additional health risks as well. Don't buy this to exercise to keep healthy. Go breath some clean air instead!

This mat folds nice and seems well built.
If you lay on it flat it supports your weight.
Knee's and elbow's compress the foam enough to feel the floor.
If you plan to use it a lot maybe get one with firmer foam.

I bought this mat for Thai Massage. I'm a massage therapist. It has worked perfectly for that purpose. Amazon had the best price at $99. Thanks Amazon,
