York FitnessExercise Mat - Blue/Red

I bought this mat because the one I'd had was as flat as a pancake and I could still feel the floor through it. My knees hurt a lot less now because of the much better padding in this product York Exercise Mat. Sometimes I use the old one as extra padding underneath this new one which gives added comfort.The York Exercise Mat is also a very good length, so most people can stretch out comfortably on it. They have kindly included an Exercise Programme which can help you with your mat work. And if you lose the hard paper copy, it's already printed on both sides of the York Exercise Mat.

Lovely thickness, great mat for home excersing

The mat came within 2 days of ordering it which was great. Great value for money. Gives you good support as its padded, the length is great as some can be really short. The other side of the mat is red which the pic doesn't show. Good that it has exercises on the map and also comes with a sheet of exercises that you can do. Great buy & very happy with it

It's good for doing exercises like bicycle crunches and sit ups, I have noticed though it is only comfortable when using it when placed on soft surfaces like carpet or in the garden for example, it's very uncomfortable when performing exercises on floorboards or concrete or very thin carpet with poor quality underlay.I am satisfied with this product as it's length is suitable for my height (I'm 6 ft 2 inches) and I have access to a garden and good quality cushioned carpet so I can place the mat on that.I would recommend buying something that has better durability and longevity as this could be seen to tear and crack quite easily if put under harsh conditions, this mat is sort of a sponge material, I would recommend that thicker, more durable material for a mat, the sort of material that is used on mouse pads.

Had one of these years ago, kept it for decades and still did the exercises after it was long gone with a boyfriend using it. The recommended exercises were always enough to keep me in shape in the past but gradually I stopped doing them, tried other exercises and yoga and stuff that worked for other people. Then ended up not exercising at all. Now I’ve put on on a bit of weight and remembered how I had used this mat for years and years, since about 15 years old, and it was like magic to keep me in shape and thought I’d see if they still make them and they do so thought I’d give it a go again during lock down. It’s better than I remember, quality wise, more spongy, and comes with warm up exercises that I find really helpful. I can still do the exercises I used to do with the mat and a few more that I used to avoid, just takes longer and I get exhausted and to be honest I don’t lose weight as quick as I used to because my metabolism has slowed right down and had kids but I still believe in the exercises. I know they work for me, it will just take a bit longer this time around because I’m not in my early twenties anymore.

I ordered this in December last year, to replace one that I had for over 6 yrs, this one however has not lasted 6months, the whole mat is out of shape, the foam inside has twisted, it seems to me that the cover is too small for the foam inside, no-way to re-shape it. No joy from the seller, he said as it was over 6months old there wasn't anything they could do. I think an item should last longer than 6months of use. I wasn't able to upload these with the msg I sent, but have been able to here. I would suggest people do not buy this mat and look for something better.

As this item has mixed reviews i was a little apprehensive about whether it'd be right for me. We live in a private rented house and so our carpeting is very very thin so i wanted a mat that would be comfortable while i exercised.THIS IS IT.This is a really good mat, was very comfortable with first use, could hardly feel the floor at all and for the price i am extremely satisfied. Its exactly what i wanted. Infact i found it hard to get my partner and daughter off it when it first arrived haha
