Do you recommend purchasing a mat with this?

I recommend the mat for extra grip and keeping the bag from scratching the roof of your car. If you go to a craft store they carry the same stuff. It's the same stuff used for lining kitchen drawers, looks similar to bubble wrap.

Yes. It will scratch your roof top. We are using ours for the third year but will also be putting a blanket b/w the mat and bag b/c we have a new car.

Yes, I used it on a two-door 1997 Thunderbird with a V8. No issues, some noise from the straps vibrating. Mat will help with slipping.

You would not necessarily need a mat unless you plan on sweating a lot then you may want that on the mat and not the carpet:)

the item I bought was good I say if you can get it for less than 35.00 get it. can you return if the mat does not work?

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.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

Yes! This mat is very comfortable on the feet. It also wears very well and it is a nice color. I bought two of them...one for my shower floor and one for the seat in my shower which is very slippery. Hope this helps!

You worry too much about a simple sink mat. I have mine for over a year and is has worked very well. Does not smell, makes marks on the sink or tears. But it without care and worry about more important accessories.

No, this mat is useless. It does not stick to the counter therefore moves all the time. I wished I never bought it.

The mat I use is strong and durable. However, for me, it is slippery when wet. I think that using a towel is a great idea. After one year of Yoga once a week, I still perspire a lot. So, I use a headband and a towel. Safety is always first in my mind. There's nothing as unsettling to me, as losing the posture of a warrior 2 due to a slipping foot; and the full knowledge that I can't do splits yet. LOL.

You will need some type of strap to keep it rolled up. The mat is not hard to roll up. It arrives rolled up.

No. Not without ruining the mat. The mat has a cloth border. And each bamboo piece is secured to the others and to the back of the mat with some type of fiber. It would be better to find the exact size you need and buy that.

Totally! I use the eQua and the yoguitoes mat towels, both are very good and they will keep you from sliding, I preffer the eQua one with my manduka mat.

Nope! You have to buy either the straps or a bag separately. Make sure the bag is big enough, though, because the 6-mm thickness means this mat rolls up thicker than other mats. The shiny-paper wrapping around the mat does come with some yoga poses on the back, though, so try to be careful not to rip it!

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

I would, just to protect the carpet from the equipment. You can find inexpensive matting or gym pads at Sears.

I agree, yes to both. The mat is great! Every new cabinet install should come with one of these. Unfortunately, I didn't know these existed when I really needed it, but I'm sure it will prevent any future problems.

I use a mat, not the Concept one but the puzzle piece kind, so I'm not 100% sure it that would be fine. My guess would be that it would be, however my only concern would be the sweat... 30min/day is going to produce a lot of sweat, are you going to be ok with it falling on your carpet?
