The mat’s size was as advertised, and the transport straps are very simple to use. I have zero problem rolling up the mat and putting the strap on myself.
There were reviews about a powerful smell coming from the mat, which made me nervous, but I ended up ordering one anyways. The actual smell wasn’t powerful at all and it’s basically what you would expect from a product like this. So yeah, I was either lucky or most of the mats don’t have that problem.
Again, some reviews were saying it slips on the ground at times. I haven’t noticed any slippage. It’s one inch thick so the mat itself is pretty heavy and the material sticks pretty well to my hardwood floor.
The foam material the mat is made of is very soft and easy on your body when you’re stretching and doing your work-out. It’s actually soft enough where I can imagine it can be somewhat easy to accidentally cut it or tear it on a sharp edge if you’re not careful, especially on the bottom of the mat. If you tend to roll up the mat to transport it, you will have to roll it in the opposite direction once you unroll it to stop the mat from curling. Maybe that will get easier to do as the mat gets older. Pretty minor stuff though considering the material is what you wanted when you bought this mat. And even if the edge of the mat curls, I don’t see how it affects you during your ground exercises, except for aesthetic purposes when you’re not standing on it.
The mat is of course bigger than most mats during transport because yeah, one inch foam mat. Your body will thank you when you’re doing planks though.
I was very happy with the quality of this purchase!
