HarbingerRibbed Durafoam Exercise Mat 5/8-Inch, Blue

Does the intended job well. My workout routine includes several floor exercises (sit-ups, crunches, leg lifts etc) on a hard wooden floor. I bought the mat because of its thick padding. Indeed, it absolutely works as advertised. The cushioning is superb, and makes the workouts much less painful. It rolls/folds up nicely out of the way when not used. The material seems strong and durable, and wipes clean/dry easily. While I was a little leery of the mat based on others' comments about a strong smell, I have not noticed any unusual or strong smell from the mat. Yes, when I'm face down in it I can smell the foam, but it's not very strong smelling. And, more than a few inches from it, it has no discernible odor. Bottom Line: good mat, doing what I'd hoped it would.

It's the perfect mat for its weight and comfort. Hope it comes out in other colors more than blue and green.

The mat was delivered promptly - always a plus - and is perfect for what I need it for. I found that thinner mats were uncomfortable for me when doing pilates and this mat is really nice and thick. I've tried every exercise on this mat that was uncomfortable for me before and now have no discomfort at all. It does have that 'new mat' smell, but it's not at all overpowering - I keep it in my bedroom and have never noticed the odour.

Nice and thick. Much better for my joints than the mats at my gym, which I try to double up then cover in a towel to get the extra padding.The mat doesn't slide, it rolls up very easily and can be stored standing up on it's own wherever. Flattens out quickly after being rolled up for long periods of time. Easy to wipe clean. Has help up for over a year for me, and doesn't show any signs of wear.

This mat is far thicker and more comfortable than most of the mats on the market. It doesn't slide around, it cleans very easily, and it has a nice strap for rolling it up and carrying it with you. My tailbone thanked me for the upgrade from the 1/4" mat that I was using.

I could not use the product because the smell was so bad that I could not stay on mat long enough to do exercises. I got a bad headache, was light headed and woozy. Even after I let it air out it was terrible. I couldn't keep it anywhere indoors, because it made my whole apartment smell. I sent it back right away. I do appreciate that the seller took it back and refunded the money.

The Harbinger Antimicrobial Treated Mat is thick enough to use on hardwood floors, for example, for stretching at home. It's not meant for those who want a thin, long mat to place on top of a relatively soft surface for better traction when doing yoga.

I got this so I could do push-ups and sit-ups at home instead of doing that activity on the carpet. I used it the first time doing sit-ups and it was okay but slipped around on the floor. However as soon as I did push-ups, again the Mat was moving around and started tearing under my feet. I wouldn't feel safe if I was doing arobics on this becasue it slips so much. I recommend something different for doing exercise. This isn't holding up. It may be okay for yoga. It looks cool though.
