Does this work the same as a Grounding Mat for health use?

No, it in to help protect the sensitive micro circuits in the equipment we use from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Phil

Hi. These mats are very thin for heavy equipment. They should work as far as preventing the floor from scratching, but in my opinion, you would need a thicker mat for exercise equipment.

I think it could be used for any exercise equipment. You may just not need something so long. Guess it depends on that. I still highly recommend this mat.

Joweria, it uses for removing the static (ESD) from your body before you accidently touch the component in your equipment and destroy it. You can search on the YouTube for the topic, "Electrostatic Discharged". When you have an equipment opened as a radio or a computer boards, you need to lay it on this mat and the cord will connect to ground (the ground of the electrical outlet). So, every time if there is an electrical static discharge from your body, it will short it to ground instead it will discharge to the components on the circuit board an burn them. To purchase this mat, you also need to purchase the ESD wrist trap in order it will remove the static to the ground before you will touch the components. Good luck!

No, the Bio mat is at bio-mats.com and they are EXPENSIVE. The smallest one was $650 plus $40 for standard shipping (I don't trust anyone who charges $40 for shipping a pad - ripoff) and quickly go up into the thousands of dollars. Plus, the web site makes some pretty wild claims - everything from weight loss to preventing cancer. I would stick with Therasage. It works on the same principle of infrared heat without electromagnetic radiation you get from the plug in head pads with the wires in them (which is linked to cancer/leukemia).

I have not tried that but I assume it would. When I need to sit I just move the mat back

Yes, I believe according to Earthing's FAQ it states something along the lines of being able to wash the top of the mat with water and a gentle soap. The covers are washable, as well (mild soap/detergent, etc).

No the mat did not work at all for me. Look for something you can plug into the wall that the battery fits in. Not sure what its called but I have seen them. Don't waste you're money on this mat. Good luck

I love the Earthing products! We have the half bed sheet, grounding mat and now 2 orange body bands. You only need to use one band to ground yourself and your significant other can use the other band. However, sometimes when I'm really tired after work I'll kick back in the recliner and have my bare legs on the grounding mat and place the body band on my wrist. Figure it can't hurt it be thoroughly grounded. Enjoy. Hope you see results using the band. We have.

Yes, the mat in this picture is exactly the same one. Love, love the mat. Hope this helps you out.

Absolutely. I find it more useful compare to yoga mats, which are usually narrower and thinner. The top surface of the mats are slightly corrugated so it is not slippery when you do workouts. It is both firm and cushioning. I built an area about 6'x10'. They can be quickly put away in less than two minutes.

I don't know a good answer to that. Once you get used to using the mat, you are not as aware of the current. I did not buy the sheets. I would assume the little "wires" in the fabric would get brittle or soft with use and washing. I think the mat would be the longer lasting. I do not use the cover with it. It doesn't bother me to be in contact with the mat. I like it, and I think the numbness and tingling in my fingers and toes/hands and feet has improved some in the months I've been sleeping with my feet/calves on it. The mat is very similar to a mouse pad in texture, thickness and flexibility. I don't know a good answer to that. Once you get used to using the mat, you are not as aware of the current.

The mat is thin and pretty pliable not stiff so it should work. It does the job of cooling down.

Yes. It does exactly what it says it will do in the literature that accompanies the mat.

I don't know. A gift for our granddaughter so I don't have it here. It was long enough to do a cartwheel - see the feet and hand imprints on mat and it is thick enough to be used without getting hurt. I saw them use it and it looked fine to me. Hope that helps.

yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be... » Read More yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. « Show Less

The mat has some cushion but it is not nearly as thick as a playmat. I would use it on hard wood floors if I was with my baby the whole time to prevent any bumps. Hope this helps!
