This exercise mat is a great upgrade over working out directly on a hard floor. The padding is comfortable and provides enough cushioning to make floor exercises much more enjoyable.
The mat stays in place very well thanks to the backing, so I never had to worry about it sliding around during my workouts. It also has a nice weight to it. It feels substantial and well made without being so heavy that it is difficult to move when needed.
When I first unrolled the mat, there was a slight plastic smell. It faded after about an hour and was no longer noticeable, so it was not an issue after airing it out.
Overall, this is a quality exercise mat that is comfortable, stable, and easy to use. It has made my workouts much more comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it.
