is it worth buying the mat?

The mat is definitely worth it. It provides a buffer between the carrier and the top of the car and does a nice job of preventing the carrier from slipping. We used it on a 1,000 mile round trip to Michigan and were very pleased with the way it held.

I think so based on my experience. The mat accomplished two things: 1. It provided protection to the roof so the paint did not get scratched are abraded. 2. The non slick surface prevented any air currents from getting under the roof top carrier as I was driving down the road at 70 mph+. I hope this helps. Best regards.

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

I think so. It kept the bag securely footed and protected our car from scratches.

My mat is under my spin cycle. I've had the mat for about one year. It still looks pretty good.

I can't really compare. I've always wanted to try the expensive anti-fatigue mats, but could not afford it. I'd say the imprint mat is good and certainly a good price. We'll see how it holds up. Good luck

I know this mat is terrific, but I don't really know anything about the other two, to make a comparison. Sorry!

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

I don't use a mat with it and I have hardwood floors -- i haven't had any issues or problems. I think you'll love this machine. I've had no issues or complaints.

Yes, also keep in mind that it takes a few days for the mat to settle down after being rolled up in the box because the plastic is pretty thick.

It's worth the cost if you actually use it everyday and commit to stretching. I made progress then became less committed and started back again. I have a friend that uses it daily and he is extremely flexible. He was already more flexible than me, but he pushes himself and actually does use it.

Yes. I returned mine, because it was too sort for my exercise bike. But, it is a good mat.

Yes. Well worth the money. Our first one cracked, but the exchange was easy. Most of the moisture happens when someone first learns to make it work; 10 minutes. I suggest only the person it's purchased it for, uses it; no one else.

You could - it has around the give of a yoga mat - but for the price, you'd be better off getting a second hand yoga mat!

it's great and very cushy, as long as you are not doing hot yoga. If you are it gets slippery with perspiration. I tried my Gaiam mat a few times, then ended up splurging on one of those expensive Lululemon ones.

Yes it is! I love this mat! The thickness is dense so it is much more cushiony than I imagined. :-)

Yes! This mat is very comfortable on the feet. It also wears very well and it is a nice color. I bought two of them...one for my shower floor and one for the seat in my shower which is very slippery. Hope this helps!

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.

Yes! That's what I did and it works great. These mats come as a set of two but it's been six months and I haven't needed to use the second one at all because the first one is still like new.

The Mat is very durable. I have had mine for 3 seasons and it is still in great condition. As for the texture of the "grass", it is as good as you can expect. I have never thought twice about the surface. It just works.
