Which is your thichest & sturdiest mat? @ 300#+ most mats I have purchased locally have split and I'm looking for a better alternative.

This is a very heavy duty mat. Have had it in my home office for better than 6 months and have had no problems with it splitting. Holds up well with 200 + lbs.

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.

I think they all split eventually. I purchased the ES Robbins Everlife because it appears thicker and sturdier than the others that I have purchased. My mat is installed on deep carpet. I don't know if a mat has been made that will bare a man's weight on plush carpet without flexing and wheel dipping under load. Hopefully this mat will justify the premium price by lasting much longer.

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.

You don't use the included resistance band until Beta cycle but i kind of hated the band. I liked using dumbbells way better. In the videos there is only one guy with the resistance band and everyone else is using dumbbells. I think a mat would be good on hard surfaces but probably not that great on carpet. I didn't use one at all.

Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch. I already use a mat a quarter inch thick but sometimes cannot stay in certain poses because of pain of bone seeming to touch the floor. Maybe the mat is too soft, I don't know, or maybe I am just too skinny. I was looking for a thicker than quarter inch but was impressed by your statement that you had looked at this and found thicker than this would be unstable.So what is the "mat pad" to which you refer? Maybe that would be the solution. I could not identify under your products on Amazon what would be.Thanks,Greg Smith Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch.

Not sure- I'm thinking just the name. It's a good mat, you won't be disappointed.

Well the ones that have lifted come right off. The ones that are still affixed I haven't tried to remove. I followed the directions to the T to ensure they would last but not so lucky. I'm contemplating removing them and going back to a regular mat.

To B. Langman,I recall reading your post when I went through them all, and wondered then, and now if there would be a penalty for abandoning two of the others? One has 5 layers, the other 7, and that makes for sturdier bags, I would think.If you couldn't use white garbage bags, and you responded to my initial quest for someone who has used all four types of bags, which of them was your favorite, and why?

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

You said it yourself: extreme effort. I've had mixed success cutting regular mats with a Stanley knife. This is polycarbonate, much tougher. I once tried cutting a 12" star out of a polycarbonate sheet of about the same thickness. It took several hours and dulled a few blades.

Dear I. Hadianto, the mat is most effective when laid flat on a half sheet tray. The mat would still work but it doesn't fold like paper does so a quarter sized mat would probably your best option.I hope this helps.Kind regards,BrightSpring

Thanks. It's reassuring to read that this isn't a green-washed product. Do you offer a thicker yoga mat (greater than 1/4" thickness)? Too bad I can't go to a retail store and feel the product prior to purchase. -Jason

i think the only difference is the thickness (and price as you mentioned). I went cheap and bought the thinner version because no matter what i have to use two mats.

I have had no problems with the mat, and I'm not a light-weight. The mat would probably work well for you.

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

I bought mine a few months ago, and I have had no problems with it. I have many products by Ranger, and they have always been superior in quality. I bought another mat first, and it was much thinner and split when I folded it to take it with me to a crop. The one from Ranger has been fine. It was shipped rolled up in a tube. It is also less expensive than the inferior one. I guess you can tell that I like Ranger products!

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.

I'm 250 pounds and work at home. After using my mat for 2 years, it did develop a crack. Buying it again since this is very good quality.
