Signature Fitness All Purpose 1/2-Inch Extra Thick High Density Anti-Tear Exercise Yoga Mat and Knee Pad with Carrying Strap and Optional Yoga Blocks, Multiple

The BalanceFrom GoYoga All-Purpose 12-Inch Extra Thick High Density Anti-Tear Exercise Yoga Mat and Knee Pad with Carrying Strap is a highly recommended mat for yoga and core work. It provides excellent cushioning and support, especially for those with knee or wrist issues. The knee pad, which is made of the same material as the mat, offers extra cushioning for kneeling or for exercises that put pressure on the hands. The mat stays in place well on carpet and provides a stable surface for yoga practice. However, a customer mentioned that it does not stay put on hardwood floors and tends to shift and stretch during poses, potentially causing safety concerns. The mat also squeaks on hardwood floors. The carrying strap is adjustable and has two Velcro loops sewn onto it for easy attachment to the mat. The knee pad can be rolled up inside the mat for convenient transport. Overall, customers have praised the BalanceFrom GoYoga mat for its comfort, thickness, and value for the price. It is a high-quality mat that provides a soft and supportive surface for various exercises. However, it is important to note that it may not be suitable for use on hardwood floors.
