I have two of those. They are a little nicer, but much smaller and much more expensive.

I have not had that experience with my Mat. Are you sure you had the right side down?

I've done P90X and crossfit and I would recommend this mat. I don't slide, slip, or sink like on a foam mat. And your weights won't ruin the mat.

Yes, same as "THE MAT" just bigger in size. If trying to use THE PRO Mat with smaller cakes sizes you will find THE PRO is too big and will hinder your ability some when covering for these small cakes. Both are great products and I fully endorse them.

In my opinion, this mat will hold up as well or better than other mats that are of a softer molecular structure. However, I was controlling my cost and opted for the thickness that was cost effective for me. My selection was the right choice for me. We are a plus-sized family. Any mat of similar material, thickness or better would be the best choice for anyone with similar concerns.

I don't know the exact thickness but it does seem thin. To me, it was more important to have a mat where I'm not slipping when sweating than something really thick. But if thickness is important to you, I can't say I'd recommend this mat.

yoga mat is very thin and is mainly to keep you from slipping. the aeromat I use for Pilates and is mainly to support the spine and keep your bones from hitting the floor. they are very soft and supportive at least 1 inch thick and very dense foam. really nice.

I have no experience with a regular Silpat, so I can't make a comparison. It may not be, because I have experienced some sticking/bread tearing due to the mat's porous design. That's only a guess, though

I can't compare the two because I onl bought the one product. I can tell you I bought this product for the extra thickness compared to other mats I looked at.

I have yet to see any tears on mine which I have owned for a few months. I'm not sure about the rubber degrading more than any other type of mat. All rubber will wear over time

I have purchased two of these mats. The first one was too small because I didn't notice that you could order different sizes. I used that one in a smaller downstairs room and used the larger one for myself in my office. I did notice a plastic odor (very faint) on the first one (like newly formed plastic) but no odor at all on the second one (the larger of the two). If it holds up and doesn't break over time I will be very pleased with the mat.

Judy, the "pad" that has come with these $59.99 "rubber" mats has been a kind of "slip cover" (like the pillow case on a pillow. It's thin, and designed to make the mat feel more comfortable to bare skin. I would probably not describe this pad as "plush", but it certainly does the job, and I've had no discomfort whatsoever with my bare legs on this covering. I feel it's a very good unit, and likely to be longer wearing than some of the other Earthing devices, such as the "half sheets" or full sheets. They're made of cotton with the metallic fibers in them, and my guess is that they're probably not as durable as the "rubber" mat with slip cover that you are considering. In my judgement, well worth the money. I sleep better with my legs on one, have used Earthing products for 3 or 4 years now. Charles ND, PhD helpingtohealclinic@iw.net .

This mat is thick enough and is easy to trim to fit as directed. It is also easy to wipe clean.We placed it as directed on the lowest rack and it works fine.Hope this helps.

Not having had the opportunity to use a wellnessmat, I can't compare. Only know that I got a real deal on mine (a special of the day for fifty bucks and 24X48) so feel lucky as I really can't see myself without one. Really cushy, easy to clean.

My yoga mats are not expensive either, I think I paid between $8 and $15 for them. When mine started getting slippery I would just buy a new one but now I use the slip free rosin and it pretty much takes care of it. I'm a little weird about the chalky feeling but I wash my hands immediately after yoga and I'm fine. It is definitely worth it.

after reading these comments, I just realized that my blade has lasted much longer since I was at class one day and forgot my olfa mat so I bought a clover mat and it is softer and that must be the reason my blade has lasted so long. I thought it was the sharpner.lol, as the blade was sharpened quite good. Funny, I learn something new every day. Will stick with the Clover mat since it is softer. Doesn't seem to let the fabric slide as much either.
