I was very happy with the quality of the mat. It is such tough material, yet comfortable, I have no excuses now for not exercising. I have been considering buying another one, cutting it in half and making 2 slip covers to use for my dog's bed(s). I think it would last longer than many beds made just for dogs. She would love that!

I've never done mat work before (bought this with "Pilates for Weight Loss" video), and this is perfect for me! I love it. It is a very comfortable thickness for the exercises I do on my back and while sitting. It is also very forgiving; I have knee problems, but this mat is thick enough that there is even enough cushion when I do the stretches on my knees -- no pain!

When I was deciding which mat to buy, I thought that $35 was a little high (especially since I'm on a budget). I ultimately decided that the investment for a superior (and much thicker mat) was worth the extra money (and I also justified that it was cheaper than joining a gym!). I don't regret this purchase for a minute. Highly recommended!

The ONLY downside is that it's a little bulky to store, but that's to be expected, given the thickness. We live in a small apartment in NYC, so it fits (folded in half) behind our loveseat very easily. Other than re-rolling and putting it back in the box every time (ugh), I'm not sure where else I could keep it!

I use this mat for pilates and it offers good support for lower back, really confortable. The only drawback is that I don't have a car and is too bulky to carry around,also I haven't been able to find a bag for the same reason, too big! other than that i really like it.

Very thick mat -- godd for supporting the spine during Pilates, but probably too thick for yoga. Also a bit thick to carry back and forth to the gym, but if you want one for home use, it's great.

This mat is perfect for pilates. It is thick enough to give excellent stability and comfort. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good pilates mat. Well worth the money!
