Is this a good mat for tumbling if i get two to make it longer?

I just use the mat for situps on a hardwood floor. But if you are going to use it for tumbling you would have to make sure that the mat did not move. But the mat is thick and wide enough for you to tumble with. I have had this mat for a while now and the quality of it is great.

You may have difficulty keeping it in place. I use it for sit ups in my gym and it shifts farely easily. (at least for an adult)

I do not know as the mat is at my granddaughter's house. However I found a site you can ask that question. It's gymnasticshq.com/home-gymnastics-equip/

We use it for a Tot Tumbling program.. for 2 to 6 year olds but it would work for older kids also.

Yes! That's what I did and it works great. These mats come as a set of two but it's been six months and I haven't needed to use the second one at all because the first one is still like new.

Maybe. I don't know if it is the same thickness as a gym mat. If the child was not doing aggressive tumbling and it was on carpet it might be ok. It is a little over 1/4inch thick if I remember correctly.

Hi,This track is great, we've never had any slippage problems. I used to be a gymnast so I know how important that it doesn't is. There is Velcro on the underside of one end (to connect it to another one if you want it longer). Since most of the at home practice won't be full-tilt tumbling I wouldn't worry- just remember to get everything breakable out of the way, lolHope that helps!Have a great day,Beth

I would personally not recommend it for a gym mat. It comes a part a lot and tends to move a lot. Also it is not so thick.

It is not super soft, but it could be used for napping. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter to practice tumbling.

Yes. That is what I make and use the mat for. I thought the mat was awesome.

This mat provides better cushion than a standard yoga mat for abs but is firm. I use it on hard tile floors and it is fine. In response to the other answer about yoga I use it for yoga x all the time I find it less slippery than my yoga mat.

I believe I got the 2" and we love ours. It is a great mat! Very well made.

I have this mat for 2 years and I do not have any problem, it constantly in my kids bedroom and they use it once they are exercising on a monkey gym

I echo Alan's response. It's pretty thick (which is a good thing for a mat like this) so you won't be able to roll it up tightly.

The mat is 2 mm thick. Not sure how long the mat would hold up with daily use.

I bought a 6-pieces puzzle mat for my laminate floor, but didn't like it: too much hassle assembling/disassembling every day, and it slides over my laminate floor.I ended up using the beachbody jump mat that I got with my insanity deluxe package.the size is enough to do Insanity, it has a good grip on laminate floor, I rotate it sometimes for pushups, and it works well with my cross-trainers shoes.only drawback is that you need some workout gloves: when your palms are wet, the mat can be slippery.

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.

My son is 9 and he does all sorts of tumbling with this mat and loves it. We haven't had any injuries.
