Purchased this for my kids to practice gymnastics - they LOVE it.  They have also used the mat on it's side to build a fortress, they sit on it folded up to watch tv, use it for sleep overs etc.  It is made well, nice and sturdy, the velco is strong as well. It folds up easily and has handles that make it easy to transport. It's pretty lightweight too. I've used it for floor exercises and it holds up well under adult weight too. Unfortunetly when I ordered the burgundy mat, I received notice days later that it was sold out and wouldn't be restocked for a month or more (was several weeks before Christmas) so I opted to get the multi-colored one instead so it would be received in time for the holiday. That worked out well b/c the kids like the 4 colors, using the different color panels to claim their own space on the mat. The only downside of the mat is that the cover can be a tad slippery so beware if you use it while wearing socks.

My daughter loves this mat. She practices her gymnastics all day everyday !!! I placed another order for the same one for her friend as a birthday gift.

This mat is very comfortable to practice on.  My hands and feet sweat much more than the average person, so I have had problems on other mats.  The Jade mat is definitely stickier, but it does still slip a little bit.  I have tried LOTS of mats, including carpet and towels, and this is the best of what is available.  It is perfect if I wear socks.

Easy to assemble, and hours of fun for my little gymnast!  My daughter just turned 8 and is very into gymnastics.  It fits nicely in our garage.  I only wish it were higher.  She complains that she cannot do her koala hands, because it is too low to the ground.  But it is very sturdy and seems to be very good quality.

My boys have loved it! The toys that come with it are awesome. They are removable so that you can take them along for car rides, walks, etc. Great play mat. I have had no trouble with it closing up on us - even though my kids rolled all over it even making it go upside down. :) very cute and fun for newborns and older babies.

My daughter loves this cheesemat.  We bought it so that she could practice some of the basic tumbling skills at home in-between practices.  It also folds up really nice so that we can store in the closet and keep it out of the way when not in use.  The quality of this mat is really great.  it's as nice or nicer than the ones she has at her gym.  There is also Velcro on the bottom, which is nice as long as you don't have wood floors that scratch.  We solved this by putting a yoga mat under it.

Note that this mat is very small.  I'd recommend for kids no older than about 7 or 8.

We are using this in a completely non-traditional manner.  We bought four and our daughter uses them to practice gymnastics.  She spreads them out in the family room and practices for hours.  They work GREAT for this!  We also use them as mattresses for sleep overs and they work well for that as well.  Considering what our daughter has put them through over the past few months, I can attest to the fact that they are well constructed.  They have help up after A LOT of jumping and bouncing.  Something tells me that if you used them as mattresses, they will hold up well for years and years.

I have two daughters 5 and 3, we have been going to gymnastics for years now. I got it for them for Christmas last year (2016) and they still play on it now. I have moved it  up only 1 or 2 notches. it is a great quality bar.

This mat is great, better than expected.  It is thick, arrived fast and in great shape...also a pretty blue and nicer than the picture. Folds up easy and my kids love this, they sometimes keep it folded and laying down to do jumps off of or from the couch onto...keeps them busy and folds so not a bother to store. It also does not have a bad smell...that is important for me having my kids on it.

Mat is actually a little big for my pans, which was a pleasant surprise. It has worked well in the oven, and for rolling out dough for mini pizzas. It's even a nice size for kids to play with playdough without it sticking all over the table. I received a promotional price for my review, and I'm very happy with my purchase. planning to buy more.

We purchased this mat for the play area we created downstairs for our 6 month old. We have hardwood floors and needed something with a little cushion for him. Before purchasing this I looked at all types of rugs and play mats. I am a big review reader and after reading the reviews on this play mat and seeing the price I figure I would give it a shot. I am very pleased with the product and the fast delivery. It is working out great and is pretty comfortable to sit on while playing with our son. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because there are only a few ways you can assemble it where the pieces will fit together with the border and I have noticed it is a little slippery on our hardwood floors. I wouldn't recommend it in a high traffic area or if your kids will be running on it because they could slip but for a simple play mat it is great!

Pricy but love it. Bought this mat in 2013 with a play yard when my daughter was learning to crawl. It is beautiful and has such good cushioning. It was ok to leave her on it and not worry about her falling. My daughter is just approaching 2 and still love it. She learned her first words and animals while playing with the pictures on the mat and it would keep her entertained for minutes at a time. It helps that you can flip sides so she doesn't get bored. I was pleasantly pleased by the size. I did a lot of research before I got this mat and the price was a bit overwhelming but when it comes to your precious kiddos the price is justified. Now baby number 2 is here and the mat is still in very good condition and I don't have to worry about buying another. I would definately recommend it!

I bought this mat for my daughter who loves to do gymnastics all over the house. It is the perfect size for her to tumble and do handstands.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter who loves gymnastics. I searched everywhere online and locally for a mat like this. I really wanted a 2" thick mat like this and I wanted the longer 10' mat for tumbling. Most of the other mats I found with these specs were close to twice the price. This is a high quality mat for a great price. My daughter absolutely loves it. She does tumbling on it and she also uses it under her gymnastics bar. I would definitely recommend this mat.

Very good exercise mat for tumbling,  gymnastics, or martial arts.  Cushion in firm but soft at the same time (if that makes sense).  I use it to practice jiu jitsu drills and it does the job.  Very satisfied and will purchase another mat to expand my rolling area.

This was a great purchase for our daughter to practice her gymnastics at home. She uses it everyday at home and we have no complaints.

I have been using this mat for a couple weeks now and love it. It is a lot thicker than my other mat and gives a nice added padding underneath you.. We have hardwood floors and this mat has given me a little more padding under my back when doing floor work. I have used it for yoga, cardio and weight training. It doesn't move around on our floors when I have used it for cardio which is a huge plus. I find I need that little bit of padding between my shoes and the floor for my knees and shins while doing cardio/strength training.

I did notice it was a little slippery on my hands the first few times I have used it for yoga but it seems to be getting better. I am thinking there must be a little oil from when it was being manufactured. It is coming off and I am not slipping anymore. I am thinking of wiping it down with some yoga mat cleaner. I wear yoga shoes so it hasn't been an issue on my feet, just don't want my hands to slip.

I love the deep purple color! I am actually thinking of buying a couple more to have on hand for a fun change in colors.

I received this product in exchange for an honest review.
