Questions, answered.

Will you wear shoes? Choose the exercise mat. Barefoot? Choose the yoga mat. Both come in large sizes, up to 8x the size of a standard yoga mat.

Measure your floor first, then go as big as it allows: most customers wish they had chosen the bigger size. Exercise mats come in 8 sizes, from 6′ × 4′ to 15′ × 6′. Yoga mats come in 5: 6′ × 4′, 7′ × 5′, 9′ × 6′, 12′ × 6′ and 15′ × 6′.

• 6′ × 4′: our best seller. Apartments, small spaces, single-person workouts.
• 7′ × 4′ or 7′ × 5′: fits most living rooms and spare bedrooms.
• 8′ × 4′ or 9′ × 6′: dedicated workout spaces, lateral movements, partner stretching.
• 10′ × 4′ to 15′ × 6′: full home gyms, garage gyms, partner workouts, studios.

Working out with a partner? Start at 9′ × 6′, or 12′ × 6′ for side-by-side cardio. Our mats lie flat and don’t need extra room around the edges.

Choose a mat at least 1 foot longer than your height. Up to 6′ tall, a 7′ mat gives you room at both ends: the 7′ × 4′ or 7′ × 5′ exercise mat, or the 7′ × 5′ yoga mat. Over 6′, choose the 9′ × 6′ yoga mat, or an 8′ × 4′, 9′ × 6′ or 10′ × 4′ exercise mat. Even our smallest mat, the 6′ × 4′, is longer than a standard 68 × 24 in yoga mat and twice as wide.

Exercise mats: yes. They’re built for shoes. The high-density surface handles athletic shoes, cross-trainers, weights and high-impact training, from HIIT to jump rope.

Yoga mats: no. They’re designed for bare feet. Shoes, weights and heavy equipment can damage the softer grip surface and aren’t covered by the warranty.

Exercise mats are 1/4″ (6mm) thick, and the 7′ × 4′ is 8mm: firm and stable for shoes, jumping and weights. Yoga mats are 8mm thick, with a softer surface for bare feet. For kneeling poses and floor work, choose the yoga mat.

Yes. Our exercise mats go under treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, rowers, weight benches and squat racks, and under walking pads, vibration plates and mini trampolines. They add cushion, protect your floor and reduce vibration and noise.

For an exercise bike, a 6′ × 4′ is enough. For a treadmill or elliptical, measure the machine and choose a mat that covers it, usually 8′ × 4′ or 9′ × 6′. For a rack, a bench and open floor, choose 12′ × 6′ or 15′ × 6′. Very heavy equipment may leave an imprint over time. Keep equipment off the yoga mats.

Yes. Our exercise mats lie flat on concrete and turn a garage or basement into a home gym floor you can wear shoes on: cushioned, non-slip on both sides, and one piece, with no tiles to fit together. For jump rope alone, a 6′ × 4′ is enough; for a full garage gym, choose 9′ × 6′ to 15′ × 6′. Keep it out of direct sun, and roll it up if your garage takes on weather.

Yes. Our exercise mats are 1/4″ (6mm) thick, and the 7′ × 4′ is 8mm: the sweet spot for cushioning without losing stability on hardwood, tile and concrete. They protect your joints, and many customers use them daily for jump rope, plyometrics, burpees and HIIT.

Yes. The dense surface absorbs shock and reduces vibration. It makes a real difference for jumping, dancing and cardio, especially on hard floors, in apartments and in upstairs rooms.

No. Lay it logo side up, dot pattern down, and it lies flat right away. The top is grippy, not slippery, and the dots on the bottom hold on hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl and low-pile carpet. On thick or plush carpet, the mat may shift slightly during very intense moves.

Yes. Our mats work on any flat floor: hardwood, laminate, tile, vinyl, concrete and carpet. On low-pile carpet the grip holds well, and the mat’s weight keeps it flat and in place. On thicker carpet the mat gives you a stable, flat surface but may shift slightly during intense workouts. Rug anchors can help lock it down.

Yes. Many customers buy more than one mat to make a larger workout area. The weight of the mats and the grip on the bottom usually keep them in place. For extra hold, mat seam tape works well.

A brand-new mat can feel slightly slippery at first. This is normal and gets better quickly with use. To speed up the break-in, wipe the surface with a little mild dish soap and warm water, or lay it out in a busy spot for a week or two.

After each workout: wipe it down with a damp cloth.

Deeper cleaning: mix a few drops of mild dish soap into warm water. Scrub the surface gently with a soft cloth or brush, wipe clean and air dry out of direct sun. Make sure both sides are completely dry before rolling it up.

Avoid: bleach, Clorox wipes, harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers. They can wear down the surface over time.

Every mat comes with a microfiber towel, two straps and a carry bag. Roll it up tight, strap it, and store it in a closet, under a bed or against a wall.
