is the mat firm enough so that you don't sink into it?

Absolutely! It gives enough cushioning unlike the ridiculously thin Yoga mats, yet it allows you to do standing poses. Another plus is it's good for folks like my husband who has very long legs. This is the Best mat I've ever had.

Yes, very firm. Having now noticed the other three answers . . . I guess it depends upon how much you weigh and what type of exercises you are doing with it. I use it for back exercises and I am of average weight for my size so for me, the firmness and cushioning are perfect. I love the mat and bought a second one for my daughter (who doesn't live at home anymore). She loves hers as well.

It's pretty thick, and it certainly does have some give to it as it's thick foam. But it's firm enough for my needs; I find it perfect for alot of the exercises I do on the floor. It's not really built though for doing standing Yoga poses for example. Better to get a thin yoga mat for that purpose.

Even though the mat rolls up to store, it flattens out pretty quickly. When placed on a sturdy surface, it stays flat. My son has used the mat on the carpet and it is still pretty sturdy. I don't think I would use it on anything softer without support underneath, though.

It's very firm! Beware if you want it to cushion...it's very supportive and not cushiony.

Mat is flexible, but not that flexible. It's flat though and only about 1/4 inch thick.

It seems to be. Rubber feet keep it from sliding. Rubber mat on platform isn't slippery.

It's going to depend on your definition of too firm. I don't think it's especially firm, but it's not soft and squishy either. I got the thicker version, but you might want to go with the thin version.

No, we have wooden floor and its quiet/stable enough not to need a mat, esp if you have carpet.

I tried it out on the floor when the topper first arrived and I felt like it did not sink down drastically, but I did not take note of how close I was to the floor. However, it was very firm out of the box and has since been worn in, so perhaps it would sink down even further now. It is only 2 inches thick so it probably gets pretty close to the floor.

Yes the mat is soft but we also put a blanket underneath it - even though they don't fall far - mom wanted too - I thought it was fine

Nope, it's pretty firm. If you want a smaller one, get the smaller size and pad where needed.

You will not sink into it. It is firm, but not hard. It really is a super comfortable mattress. Definitely do not hesitate.

If you mean to sit on. It's middle of the road. Soft enough to be comfortable yet firm enough to not sink in. It's nice!

Yes it should keep you off the floor, it is only about 3-4 inches thick but firm.

Yes. It is quite firm. You don't feel like you're sinking into middle of bed. It's very comfortable.

Had no problem with this mat. It is thin enough, with a little bit of weight on it, it should lay flat in a few days.

The mat is firm and the material is fairly sturdy. It should hold up for heels but it does have give to it which might cause your shoe to sink in and trip you up if you aren't careful when moving. It does show the outline of my bare feet after I've been standing on it for awhile. Tips from heels would sink in further. Didn't notice if there was a warning label on the mat re heels. Maybe an email to the manufacturer? Good luck!

It really does not fluff. It is made to be firm and that is the reason I bought it.It is as firm today as the day I got it. I don't like to sink into the pillow. If you don't likefirm, return it, it wont unfirm.
