Thick Pilates Mat

Good bye old purple yoga mat, hello blue heaven! GoFit's Pilates Mat is exceptional, and the price for such comfort..... absolutely reasonable- underpriced if anything! I have bought a couple of mats searching for enough cushioning to use on hardwood floors& only got bruises. If you have hardwood floors or any hard surface- you must get this mat, if I could give more stars I would=) The curling issue, not a biggie. Keep the box it comes rolled up in, and reverse roll it. After each use, roll up opposite of last roll and place it back in box. I LOVE THIS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

I just received this mat. NO ODOR at all! Yes, it was in a roll during shipping, so of course the ends turned up a bit. I TURNED IT OVER on my hardwood floors and that was the end of that problem. It does n't slip. Not on the floor. Not under my feet. No matter which side is facing down. It's thick, THICK, soft but sturdy. My body does n't feel any pain, no matter what part of it is touching the floor!

If, like me, you have a prominent coccyx( tailbone) and bruise a lot there when doing crunches, pilates, or yoga, this is the most comfortable mat I 've found. It does make for slightly less stability when doing anything that requires standing on a single foot( I just step off the mat for those) but I find the trade off more than worth it. I have had no durability issues, and it is going on 2 years old now. I do alternate the direction in which I roll it to prevent creasing, though that may be unnecessary on my part. Overall a great mat for comfort, and if I wear mine out, I plan to buy the same one again.

I had searched for a while for a pilates mat that was thicker and more supportive than the very thin mats that seem standard. After evaluating the very few that are at least a half an inch thick, this mat was my choice to diffuse the pain I always experience during any kind of floor work( I experience a lot of pressure on my lower back.) I was a little worried that, being such a large mat, it would n't roll up very small or would just look monstrous on the floor next to others' tiny yoga mats. But for as thick as it is this mat rolls up surprisingly well and can still be tucked under your arm. And it is really luxurious to do pilates on. It reduces the impact on my back and feels really nice under my bare feet when doing standing poses. I actually think it takes stress off the knees, because the thick mat helps absorb shock if you are using it for high impact exercises. It's no hard- core yoga mat, as some have said, but it stayed put pretty well when doing some cardio style, kicking moves. I also never thought it would be so worth it to have a LONG mat, but I 'm 5'10 and now I ca n't go back. When others were hanging off the edges of their non- mats, I could comfortably lay my head on one end and not worry about my long legs extending off my mat and hitting someone in the face:)

Got this to help fight my hardwood floors and not being able to do a few moves without hurting my spine. Thick mat and perfect for anyone practicing pilates. The thin normal yoga mat was just not cutting it and it took me a while to find one like I use in class. This is perfect!
