Just the padding I need for my boney knees

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this much better than the very thin rubber yoga mat I bought this to replace. It rolls out flat, cleans up easily, and rolls up and stows out of the way.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the thickest mat I could find, great for old knees! It is best to use without shoes as shoes might scruff it up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this mat to have everything I need: good traction on the more textured side and very ample cushioning from the inch-thick material. Although my yoga instructor advised me to be mindful when doing standing poses on the thicker mat due to potential balance issues, my (beginning-intermediate) level of work has not been influenced by that at all. (If it did, I would simply place my old mat under this one and flip the top back to ensure total stability.). I'm extremely happy with this mat.
I've only had this mat for 2 weeks. I've used it for stretching and HIIT 1-1.5 hours a day. I am short and scrawny and haven't put an unusual amount of stress on the mat, but in the middle, where it bears the most weight, it already has lost some cushion. When I sit or stand in the middle it sinks down to about 1/4 inch and I can feel the hard floor underneath. Very disappointed, I really wanted to love this mat.
