IncStores 5/8 Inch Thick Premium Soft Foam Flooring Tiles | High-Density Interlocking Foam Tiles for Vibrant Floor Protection in Your Home Gym, Playroom, and More

My wife and I ordered a 25 pack of the gray tiles. When I received them I was very happy with the quality of the material. It was just the right density, not to squishy, not too firm. if you step on it with all your weight on your heels, you will feel yourself sink into it a little bit. If you stand normal, you barely notice that you sink into it, yet if feels very forgiving.Our usage of it is not quiet the normal. We recently added Movnat training into our routine. It involves a lot of time on the ground. Working from seated positions and transitioning into other movements such as lunges without using the hands to get up. Also, a lot of rolling flips, crawls, jumps, etc. with an emphasis on smooth, unhurried controlled movements. The knees and elbows spend a lot of time in contact with the floor doing this. We wanted something firm enough that it doesn't feel like moving in sand where you sink in, but cushioned enough that the occasional not so smooth movement would be forgiving on the knees and elbows. The density and thickness have been perfect for our needs.We have a one car garage at our apartment and there isn't a lot of extra parking available, so we need to pull one car into the garage every night. I wanted to try these tiles and just deal with putting them down for workouts, then picking them up when we are done. What we found was a perfect solution. We arranged them into a square 5 tiles wide and 5 tiles long. The puzzle connections go together and come apart very smoothly while holding firm once in position. We were able to figure out a method for putting them down and taking them up in just 3-4 minutes. We leave one row of 5 tiles down because its not in the way of our car parking., We start with the opposite side of the square and just put our fingers under the tile and remove the puzzle connection in a row. So basically I take it up like a 10 foot long seam and I have a row of 5 tiles that are connected to each other, and I lean that row up on the wall. I repeat this and end up with 4 rows of 5 tiles leaning on the wall. Then when its time to put them back down, I put them down in rows of 5. It is very fast, very easy, and the tiles do not warp or bend with doing this. Each time I put it down it looks as smooth as the first time I put it down.I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality foam flooring option.

Purchased this product for my 10-month old son to play on since he recently became mobile and is crawling and pulling himself up on anything he seems. As his Spidey-sense for danger is pretty much nil, it's time to lock this guy up to protect him from himself. All in all, the product really does a good job in serving its purpose. My son has had his fair share of falls and he's bounced right back up with no bumps or bruises. The mat retains its' original shape after placing your foot on it. If you're expecting this to cover the entire floor, then I would highly suggest you not because the mat does absorb your body heat so you shouldn't expect it to have a cool comforting feel to it.Appearance-wise it looks very kiddy and not make it feel so much like a gym that you can have this placed in your living room (paired with a playground gate) and still have it feel like "home".My only gripe about this mat was that the edges do not have a standard edge to it, but instead it has more of a puzzle like edge to it (for customization for fitting). For kids, this is the chink in the armour that they are able to take advantage. The weak spot to the Death Star, the fragile opening of the alien spaceship in Independence Day, not to mention the weak spot in 10 Cloverfield Lane. To avoid that problem, our playground gate does not crossover any edge pieces.I haven't determined whether this is more due to strained used to certain pieces of the mat (children love one spot sometimes) or the fact that we have this placed on top of carpet. But, there is a section of our mat where the pieces just spread apart like two tectonic plates pulling apart from each other. I tried realigning all the pieces, but that one section just won't stick together like how it did a few weeks ago. I'll give the manufacturer the benefit of the doubt and just blame it on our carpet not being leveled thereby causing this "split". Other than that, I would have given it 5 stars.Cleaning the pieces with a wet towel was pretty simple and just took 30 minutes to dry.
