Yoga Cloud - Extra Thick 1" Exercise Mat with Shoulder Sling - 25mm Non-slip, Moisture-Resistant Foam Cushion for Pilates and Working Out - Ultra Balance & Support for Joint Health, & Physical Therapy

I use it on our wood floors and it's perfect. It is indeed very thick, yet it isn't too squishy like a too-soft bed; it is firm without being hard.I highly recommend it for those who have a surface like wood or stone, etc., on which to work out and stretch.You may want to order an extra one for your cat though.

This is my first mat that's been this thick, so I know it's going to take some getting used to. I ordered this because I'm now practicing in a space with hardwood floors and *do* have some joint issues. Yes, it's very soft and cushy. However, I think this actually compromises you where pressure and gravity are actually beneficial in certain poses. For example- in child's pose when having a little pressure on your forehead actually relaxes you. You're not going to get that with this mat. You'll need a block or something. Neither will you be able to splay your limbs out evenly in shavasana. Just stuff to keep in mind because it's so thick. The plus side is if your knees are sensitive- this mat is a dream. It rolls up pretty big. You can't use the strap for anything other than keeping it rolled and neat. I've also noticed it's not as sticky and slides when I try to hop on it. If I were to make this mat better, I'd fix that, 'cause that could be dangerous. Give it some texture on the underside and make the strap less flimsy. *shrug* I'll update my review after I've used it for a few months.

Let me just say, this thing is AMAZING!! I love it!! One of my biggest downfalls to doing yoga was that I would have back pain and knee pain when doing poses that involved being on the floor. This is no longer a problem. I am so grateful to have this amazing mat! That being said, the only thing that I could say that's bad about it is that because of how squishy and wonderful it is, it makes it harder to do balancing poses like tree pose for example, but they can still be done as I'm still working on my balancing anyhow and I was able to do them. I have NOT had any problems with it rolling back up at one end on me either as I saw someone else had had an issue with.

Post yoga... best nap, compliments of Power yoga and a cushioned mat. Also the envy of the class. No grinding of knee joints or anckles on the floor. Similar to a wrestling mat found in high schools or university sports. It is bulky but worth it

This mat is very thick, well-made and provides a lot of cushioning for floor exercises (yoga, Pilates, etc). I was afraid it may be too expensive but after it arrived, I feel it’s worth every penny.

I LOVE THIS MAT! I haven't gotten out the ruler to measure for sure but if it isn't an inch thick like it says in the description, I would be surprised. This mat is perfect for those pilates moves where you are rolling around on the floor on your back. We have hardwood floors in our house, so this mat is perfect for my spine! it's really squishy and helps my back out a lot.

Love LOVE love the THICKNESS!!! So comfortable that doing exercises are EASY ON THE JOINTS and SPINE and BUTT! Lol! I even lay on after my work out. Because how SUPER COMFY it is!!! Fantastic!!!! SO WORTH THE BUY!!! :-) :-) :-) Fyi; Love the color PINK

Strong smell of chemicals... neoprene foam? Smth like it. It does not say what it is made of, which is a bad sign. Definitely toxic :-) but thick and pleasant when you step on it or lie on it, so at least for a while ... you will forget about cancer risks...

These mats are awesome in my gym. Nice and thick and seem to be very durable
