BalanceFrom 6x2 Feet 3-Panel Folding Gymnastics Mat – 2-Inch Thick Pad with Vinyl Surface and Carrying Handles for Tumbling, Yoga, Pilates, Home Workouts, and Martial Arts

I didn’t expect much from a folding mat, but this BalanceFrom tri-fold exercise mat has genuinely exceeded expectations. At 6 ft long × 2 ft wide (72 × 24 inches) and a substantial 2 inches thick, it absorbs pressure without feeling mushy—perfect for yoga, gymnastics, MMA, or just stretching out—especially on hard floors. What surprised me most is how lightweight it remains—around 3 lb—and the added tri-fold design with handles makes it remarkably easy to carry, stash under the bed, or bring along to the gym. The surface is a durable, non-slip vinyl that wipes clean effortlessly—great for keeping it hygienic after workouts. Great mat! Thick enough to protect knees and joints, folds neatly with handles, and easy to clean. Feels sturdier than expected—perfect for my morning yoga and my daughter’s gymnastics practice.

Love it! Perfect for my floor exercises! It is saving my knees! Perfect thickness and easy to fold and move! Very light weight and great quality.

My search for the perfect home exercise mat was a bit of a journey. My wife has the black version of this BalanceFrom mat, and while I was impressed with its quality, I was determined to find something a bit bigger. I ended up trying a few other brands, and to put it bluntly, they were trash. They were so thin that it felt like I was just laying on the hard floor, making them useless for any real exercise. Needless to say, I learned my lesson. I came right back and ordered this blue BalanceFrom mat, and I'm so glad I did. This is top-quality! What Makes It Great (The Pros): * Legitimate Thickness & Comfort: The 2-inch high-density foam is the real deal. Unlike the flimsy competitors, this mat provides genuine cushioning and support. I use it for all kinds of stretches and floor exercises, and it’s consistently comfortable. * Superb Portability & Storage: The tri-fold design is brilliant. It folds up in seconds, and the carrying handles make it incredibly easy to move around or slide into a closet for storage. It’s perfect for keeping our living space uncluttered. * Easy to Clean: The moisture-resistant vinyl surface is a huge plus. A quick wipe-down after a workout is all it takes to clean, which is awesome for hygiene and maintenance. One Minor Consideration: The only exercise I find a bit difficult on this mat is push-ups. Because the foam is so thick and comfortable, my hands tend to sink into it, which feels a bit unstable. This is not a deal-breaker for me at all; I simply do my push-ups on the floor right next to it. For every other exercise, the cushioning is a welcomed feature. Final Verdict: While I initially set out to find a larger mat, the superior quality, comfort, and convenience of the BalanceFrom mat easily won me over. My search is officially over. If you want a durable, truly supportive exercise mat that is easy to store, save yourself the trouble of trying other brands and get this one. It's a fantastic purchase that I use constantly.

Plenty of cushioning, easy to open and fold. The corners will quickly get dinged and start to tear if you are not very gentle with the mat. Don't just shove it into a corner or on a shelf. A good buy.

I wish I would have thought of this years ago!!! I was living in a cargo trailer for 6 years and bought a camping mat to sleep on (I had finally recovered from using a wheelchair and hospital bed for 2 years after an auto accident). For the first 3 months I was in excruciating pain every morning when I woke up and it would take me quite a while to get off the floor. Now I live in a travel trailer but am having a queen size mattress is proving nearly as difficult with the pain. I started looking for something in between a camping mat (or bare floor) and a mattress. Low and behold, I just a week ago started looking at gymnastic mats and found this one (2” thick rather than a camping mats for 1/4” - 1/2”). The price is within my budget and the reviews were pretty good so I thought I’d give it a try. I also like the color blue and that was one of the color choices! Can’t beat that! I bought a purple one for my Mom too (we were suffering from the accident together and we still live together and she too has been in a lot of pain). The mats came fast and when I looked it over, the stitching seemed durable enough and the material thick enough and I appreciate that I didn’t have to air it out (it had a slight odor but it didn’t make me sick). I tested it out last night and this morning I didn’t want to get up, NOT BECAUSE OF THE PAIN BUT BECAUSE I WAS IN SO MUCH LESS PAIN! This would make a nice camping mat if you don’t mind it’s about the size of a folding table (a little thicker); it’s far better on the joints and more durable too. I was trying to leave a separate review for the purple mat my Mom used, but the review seem tied together, so I guess I’ll have to include it as an update: Mom says she loves the color! There was a slight odor, but with a quick wipe down (with lemon essential oil) the odor was gone. She’d been sleeping in a 0gravity lawn chair for 2 weeks and this may was a nice change. She slept much better, didn’t have to get up so much in the night, and says it’ll be her new bed from now on. It’s thicker padding and the cover and stitching seem to be heavy duty. Along with my review, she’s also giving her mat a 5 star!

Great mat for the money... sturdy foam, tough exterior covers. Nothing not to like. I bought it after a recent surgery to help with the PT (I got some rods/screws in my low back, so lying on the floor to stretch my hamstrings was killing me - the hardware was pressing against my skin from the inside - we have hardwood floors). So, I bought this mat to lay on while doing my stretches... no more pain! And for the price, it is amazingly good quality, very sturdy build. It's not beautiful... just solid black, very useful and well made. As a man who enjoys sturdy, well made, no frills things... I think it's excellent.

Nice and thick to work out on. And very light weight.

We just received these in pink and blue and gave them a test run! Thrilled! I am have severe advanced rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and multiple other autoimmune diseases and syndromes that have caused considerable permanent damage to my joints and body (13 years now...I got it an extremely severe case early in adulthood very suddenly.) I have always been athletic and am still very strong, but have been unable to excercise due to the pandemic. It's made my RA & other issues much worse, I don't sleep well because of it and it's caused weight gain and loss of energy. I normally swim year round and lift weights, but I am in 3+ high risk categories. I haven't been able to exercise like normal in almost a year and neither has my family (except for a 3 or 4 week period where we could swim in the ocean late August into September. Boy was that HEAVEN!) Our gym pool is not fully open & when it is it's such a short time period that you have to make a reservation for that it doesn't work for us (plus you aren't allowed to change there and they aren't really accomodating for the disabled. ) I have asthma so I can't breathe properly in a mask for weight lifting so that's not safe. We have an area in our living room that has just enough space for so we dug out our box of pilates dvd's, balance ball and checked out what Amazon had to stream from Amazon video because we were going nuts being sedentary and it was making my RA considerably worse as well as a back injury. We had a great time doing yoga and two pilates workouts the first day, but I discovered that my trusty yoga mat I've had forever (still like new) was no longer enough cushion for me. I ended up with bruises on my lower back and tailbone as we have wood floors and a new area rug (lovely, but different from our old one.) I also needed to get a proper yoga mat for a family member. I typed in "thick yoga mat" and these mats popped up! I had severe pain with certain exercises on Day 1 in my knees and hips and suddenly I realized that I usually did my floor exercise on mats like this at the gym! (I used to do them at home too, but that was 5 years ago and my RA has advanced as I am medication resistant unfortunately....not about to let it stop me though :)) I looked at other mats like these and they're considerably more expensive! I checked out getting a 4×8 or a 4×10 to pop down for our daily excercise sessions, but they were much more expensive than just getting two of these to try under our individual yoga mats. It's snowing and raining out now and that's when my RA is worse. We just got these off the porch and opened them up and gave them a test run immediately! The colors are cheerful! They fold down and fold up SUPER easily and feel stable and firm, but give a solid amount of cushion! (Full 2") We're SO EXCITED!!! We're excited to get one more for another family member too. Our yoga mats pop down on top perfectly! Even with my bad bruising from the other day I could still roll around! I could even to poses putting pressure on my wrists and knees which are normally not possible due to joint damage. I REALLY hope they last and are super durable in the lon run! We hope they keep the lower price on the pink and blue sowe can buy more! We really are excited and LOVE them so far! It's funny, but these mats (if they stay sturdy and hold up) are going to be making a HUUUUGE difference in our lives! Being able to excercise comfortably for as long as we want daily again is important for everyone, but with my disabilities it's the ONLY thing that helps control my painful autoimmune diseases as none of the available meds work as I have tried them ALL(diet & excercise in conjunction.) They will also make a GIANT difference for my family since we have to stay home due to the pandemic and this excercise outlet is SO IMPORTANT! Members of my family were doing so much better EMOTIONALLY as well as physically with our new daily excercise options even after just ONE day!!! OK! I will give a SHORT UPDATE after a month or two! Fingers crossed that they are as wonderful & durable for years to come as they were today! It really was like a second Christmas for us! :)
