I purchased this mat and I'm so happy I did. It is better than what I expected. It's very comfortable and supportive with the exercises that I do. I'm a big girl and I will not do any floor exercises without this mat!! It supports me in length and width. It's smooth on one side and rigid on the other. I exercise on carpet so I put the rigid side down and use the smooth side. I was worried it would be too thin but it's the opposite; it's nice and thick. I love to just lay on it after working out. I can almost go to sleep on it. This mat is THEE most important piece of equipment I have purchased as I am new to working out. I will certainly purchase this again without any doubts. I love that I can roll it away and attach the carrier strap to it and just put away. It also came with a small knee pad! That's excellent to use if I only need to support my knees without rolling out the entire mat. I am so pleased with this purchase.

I had a knee replacement and had to perform some core strengthening exercises along with exercises for my knee. It was extremely difficult to do any exercises without a mat. I ordered this one and it just what I needed. It is soft and durable at the same time. Easy to roll up and easy to transport with the carrying handles. This mat does not slip on my hardwood floors making me more comfortable to do more strenuous exercises. The grip on the floor is so strong that I am not afraid of falling and sustaining an injury to my knee or any other part of my body. I would recommend that if you have knee replacement surgery that you have a solid chair or stool to help you get up and down. Nothing to do with the mat. The mat is great. This is just to help ensure you don't sustain a fall. Overall, I give this mat five stars. It also has a separate pad that came with the mat just for your knees. It is the same width of the matt and about 12 inches wide. This has been extremely helpful for me after my knee replacement surgery. You can't go wrong purchasing this matt. It is well worth the money and very durable.

This mat IS 1/2" thick, but it is a "soft" thick not a semi-soft kind of soft. There is a lot of "give" to this mat. This mat is slightly longer and narrower than other mats I have, so if exact dimensions are a deal-breaker, take note. Also, when you roll it up and use the carrying strap (which is a velcro closure on the ends for an easy, snug fit, NOT a stretch, slip on), you WILL have indentation marks, but fortunately, they disappear fairly quickly. It helps to roll it up with a thin yoga blanket on the outside if you have one. Using this mat on solid flooring, it stays put; on carpet, it shifts a bit. Included is a knee pad which is very useful if you need some extra help and/or cushioning. There is no chemical odor that I noticed for those of you who are asthmatic or allergic to strong smells.
BalanceFrom GoYoga comes with a 2-year warranty. You'll receive a "Warranty Card" to reference if you have any issues with this mat. All things considered, this is a very well-made, comfortable, lightweight yoga mat for the price.

I recently started using the FITVIDS Yoga Mat, and it has completely transformed my practice. The thick, high-density material provides excellent support and cushioning, which makes all the difference during longer sessions.
One of the standout features is the anti-tear design—it feels durable and holds up well even with frequent use. I like the convenient carry strap to take the mat wherever I go. I like the green color that separates my mat from others. But what really makes this mat a winner for me is the included knee pad. It allows me to fully focus on my stretches without being distracted by knee pain or discomfort. Easy wipe off and pleasant smell.
I've tried other mats in the past, but this one is definitely the pad for me. It's supportive, durable, and thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind.
✅ Pros:
Thick, high-density support
Durable and anti-tear surface
Knee pad included for extra comfort
Great for joint protection
❌ Cons:
None so far—this mat has met all my needs
⭐ Rating: 5/5
If you're looking for a mat that puts comfort and quality first, especially for sensitive knees, the FITVIDS mat is an excellent choice.

This is the second one of these I have purchased and I've been so delighted with it.
It is thick, well made, and I like the extra mat because it works well for my knees.
The color is just right as well.
It is slip resistant and has a good grip too.
Also it doesn't come with a horrendous smell which is wonderful so it doesn't have to be aired out!
It does have some markings from where it's tightly wound up with the carrying strap.
I highly recommend this product!
