Input:
It's hard to give 5 stars to something as basic as a mat: such a utilitarian piece of gear is more of a SUCCESS/FAIL proposition than a 1-5 rating-getter.

That said, I like this mat. I workout on a concrete basement floor and this mat gives me as much padding for doing stretches and sit-ups as any of the mats in any gym I have ever belonged to. And, indeed, better than some. And, since it's in my home, I get the added benefit of knowing that I'm the only person who has ever sweated on it.  :-)

I'd recommend this without reservation.
