CAP Barbell Folding Exercise Mat – Durable, Anti-Tear, Thick Padding for Fitness, Aerobics, Gymnastics & Home Workouts. 72"L x 24"W x 2"Thick. BLUE

This exercise mat is really sturdy and comfortable for home workouts. The 2-inch thickness gives great cushioning, especially for floor exercises, stretching, yoga, or light strength training, so it helps protect your knees and back on hard floors. The folding design is super convenient—it’s easy to set up and just as easy to store away when you’re done, which is great for small spaces. It also has handles, so moving it around is simple. The material feels durable and easy to wipe clean, and it holds up well with regular use. It also provides good support without feeling too soft or sinking too much during workouts. The only downside is that it can feel a bit bulky when folded, and it’s not ideal for high-impact or intense training like jumping or heavy martial arts work.

The best thing I've done for my mobility is buying this mat. Now, I can get down to the floor and back up without fear of the pain in my knees -- because it is cushioned, my knees are back in business and practice makes it easier still. Keep your mobility with practice! Don't lose out on mobility when there are solutions! I love how it folds up to a nice size with handles, so I can grab it and take it wherever I want to use it, easily. It seems to be high quality and is a top reviewed item. So: Buy with confidence! Also, I was happy to buy blue, I am getting tired of the ubiquity of black!

Super nice. Thick, comfortable and easily folds up to put away. No odor, and I’m super sensitive to the odors products like these can have. I was using a thin yoga mat on hardwood floors and that was not enough cushion for me. This fits the bill well. Doubles as a floor seating pad too

Great for floor exercises. I love that is is foldable for storing

Well-padded, easy to transport. Easy to clean and easy to write name on with marker . Would buy again. Only one thing: Seller or Amazon promised it within one day, then changed it to more days, then I ended up getting it in two days. Sometimes this happens but it's annoying.

I was time for a change. I've owned many mats, but all of them roll up rather than fold, and no matter how thick they were, the foam sunk in so my knees and tailbone weren't protected from our hardwood floor. So I went searching through Amazon and other retailers for a mat that folded rather than rolled up, one with mostly positive reviews, and hopefully cost under $50. One of the highest rated was the CAP Barbell All Purpose Folding Anti Tear mat. I've owned many CAP fitness items, from barbells and weights to benches, and I've always found their gear to be a combination of above-average quality and reasonable prices, so I ordered the mat. This mat arrived well-boxed, not just shoved in a transparent plastic wrap. Not only did it arrived in a cardboard shipping box, it was also packed in a plastic wrap. When I opened it, it had no strong or unpleasant smells, just a very faint odor that wasn't unpleasant. It had no tears or damage of any sort. I unfolded it, put it on the floor, and got down on it. I found the foam was dense enough to keep my knees from sinking through to the floor, and when doing bridges, it kept my hands and feet off the floor. A variety of exercises later, I found not even my elbows sunk through to the floor. The foam is comfortable to me, and it protects me from the hard wood floor. Awesome! For reference, I currently weigh 145 lbs. While my husband said it was like a mat at PT, I don't think the stitching is that good. On the other hand, it cost about a quarter of what the mats at PT (or Lululemon) cost, so that's fair. I'm very happy with my CAP Barbell All Purpose Folding Anti Tear mat. It protects my elbows, knees, hands and sit bones from the floor, letting me do my exercises and PT in comfort on the floor rather than on the bed, which is a huge improvement.

This is the 3rd mat I've tried and this one is perfect. Folds and unfolds quickly and evenly, the padding is great for my senior bones. I have no complaints at all.

This mat is wonderful for my floor exercises. Situps used to be painful because my back would dig into the floor, and my wife's thin yoga mat didn't cushion adequately. This mat instantly solved the problem for me completely. This foam is thicker than the yoga mat we had, so it provides much better protection. Yet at the same time it's a lot easier to handle than the yoga mat too, because it is lighter, stiffer, and has a less grippy surface, making it really easy to fold and slide under the bed. Foldability is further enhanced by the fact that it's 3 stiff squares bound by soft material, so it naturally goes into an easy Z-fold for quick storage. Putting it away takes me about 2 seconds total: 1 second to push it into the Z-fold, then another second to slide it under my bed. Also, while I'm describing the squares as "stiff", they're not hard, they are just firm, but they are supple and supportive too. I was worried by some reviews saying it was too hard, but I found it to be just right for me. I weigh 200 lbs, so maybe something on the stiffer side works better for me than for someone lighter, I don't know. For me the stiffness is perfect: stiff enough to completely shield me from the floor, yet soft enough to absorb my bones so that the contact points don't hurt. No more pain doing floor exercises!
