Bear KompleXCore Exercise Mat - 14.2" x 11.8" Contoured Sit Up Pad With Anti-Slip Bottom - Train Core Muscles With Sit Ups, Crunches & Ab Workouts - Supportive & Firm Lightweight Abdominal Trainer Mat

I really like this ab mat. We use them at the gym and I wanted one for home. At the gym when I head over to the bin of ab mats I'm like my mom squeezing fruit at the grocery store. I'm always looking for the one that is just a little bit denser and will provide just a little more support.Thankfully this mat is really on the dense side, definitely denser than any of the mats at the gym. I really like using it for situps and feel like it gives me extra support on the way up and back down.Overall very happy with the "Bear KompleX Core Exercise Mat - 14.2" x 11.8" Contoured Sit Up Pad With Anti-Slip Bottom - Train Core Muscles With Sit Ups, Crunches & Ab Workouts - Supportive & Firm Lightweight Abdominal Trainer Mat".

I decided on getting this over the more well known brand seen around crossfit workouts because of the price and also after looking at the size. Before buying the product i liked that it was slightly shorter and slightly narrower than the more common brand. It was also another plus that the height of the contour was the same so figured it would be just the same but cheaper. After using this a few times i realized i liked the more well known brand better. The measurement difference i think plays a roll when i am fully extended at the bottom - i find that my tailbone lifts off the floor whereas I’ve never had that issue before since the other product is slightly longer. With that said, for a product that doesnt get used as much as a barbell, i think this product is a good substitute being a cheaper alternative and would recommend. I can live with the slight tailbone lift during sit ups.

I got one of these because I’ve used it at the gym I go to and it really makes a difference in a strenuous core workout. I’m not sure what my gyms brand is but this one is just as good. Great support and doesn’t slide around. Highly recommend.

I have a bad hip and lower back pain, and sit-ups have always been very painful for me. I've tried everything (yoga balls, different types of exercise mats, a sit-up bench), but nothing helped... until now! By adding this cushion to my workout bench, I can now do sit-ups pain-free (besides the burn in my abs, lol!)! I'm so sad that I didn't get one of these years ago. My only complaint is that it sometimes moves around a little. I wish it was more non-slip. Still totally worth buying though - your back will thank you!

This exercise pad was much nicer than I expected. The materials in the construction are top notch. Are use it for doing sit ups. I am so impressed with the quality and how well it works. I would definitely recommend it.

This helps so much doing sit ups. Really alleviates the issue of back problems. It helps keep curve in your back for better pasture. It is super light and small so easy to put away.
