I've had mine for a year, and it's holding-up well on a thick carpet. I've had several mats over the years and they all eventually split, but this one looks like it's going to last longer than most.

Two folds and Gabriela, I just want you to know that I love this mat!!! I've had it a few years now, do sit ups on it and it is totally awesome. Thick and very durable. Whatever you pay for it, you will be happy.

I placed the matts under my living room rug as a crash pad for the kids and a fun and comfortable living space. They are on top of hardwood floor and don't move around at all. They seem pretty firm and havnt lost much of the firmness but I expect they will soften up with time. I've had them for about 12 months now. I'm sure with time it will loose thickness in high traffic areas. They are probably not as good as what you would find in a karate or jiu jitsu studio but so far just as good. Hope this helps. Also, find the cheapest one even if it's not a prime item sometimes it's cheaper to pay the shipping.

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

Hi there! Thanks for the question -This mat is just shy of 3/4" thick. I hope that helps and thank you very much for checking us out!!

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.

Follow up: I see a previous poster had cracking issues...I had that with a previous mat...not a crack on this in over a year and counting.

I have two mats - both still in new condition EXCEPT that both are raised up around all edges. I don't remember ever even having a warranty info. Has anyone contacted the company and heard back from them yet .

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.

Hi Gottaluvlabs, Please not trim the mat. Doing this will expose the fiberglass core which would make it unusable. The only solution is to have overhang, unfortunately. We are currently looking at adding new sizes so you can keep an eye out for that. Happy baking! BrightSpring

The mats hold up very well. I keep my mats outside under the porch to protect the kids from falls on our concreted area. I would not use anything too strong to clean these mats with, as this may break down the material that they are made of. With that said, I give them a good wiping with anti-bacterial wipes and they seem to hold up very well. I am very pleased with these mats and they provide a level of cushioning that puts my mind at ease. I hope this helps!

So I'm in the same boat looking for sisal fabric to recover my post... I don't find anything, which is a bummer, but I'll keep looking as I can't see spending another $40+ on a new post when this one is just great for balance etc. I've taken off the ends and it should be easy to recover if I can find something to work. I may just have to find a cheaper rug with sisal or a tightly woven fabric of another fiber and use that. Sorry the company hasn't moved ahead in that direction to provide an option other than buying a new post. Economics I suppose...

These are robust mats and the only thing I could think of is a fine wire/contact came off or loose. If you just bought it at Amazon, I would send it back because they are very good on exchanging things or refunds if merchandise is not functioning as described.

Hi Julianne. Please contact me directly through the Amazon message system. Are you folding the mat to store it? Please store the mat rolled up, not folded. Folding the mat will cause crease damage.Please contact me:)Thanks,Square36 Team

When my mat arrived it had a crease across the mat, that was the problem I had with my purchase.I feel this could have been avoided, if they had not rolled the mat so tight and stuffed it into a small box.That small box was inside a much larger box which was large enough for the mat to have been shipped lying flat. I feel this was a packaging problem, not a problem with the mat.Hope this helps.
