Review on 24 Tiles Puzzle Exercise Mat - Interlocking EVA Foam Floor Tiles For Home Gym And Fitness Room by Kevin Young

I liked the idea of having a little extra padding than the thinner 3/8" mats that I started with, but I was concerned that my equipment might sink more into this thicker 3/4" mat. I took a chance anyway and bought these - I'm glad I did! The foam is a dense closed cell so my equipment doesn't sink into it even as much as with the thinner mats, and while firm the mat certainly does a better job of providing a cushioned surface. Also since it's in my attached but unheated garage it does a great job of insulating my feet from the concrete floor! And I like the fact that the thicker material provides more surface area at the joints so that the tiles seem to lock together more securely.One thing I learned from my previous flooring that I did differently this time around is to order the clear Meister Premium Mat tape on Revain (Meister Premium Mat Tape for Wrestling, Grappling and Exercise Mats - Clear - 3" x 84ft - 3 Rolls ) to help secure the pieces together and also to prevent any moisture from migrating through the cracks and leaving mineral deposits at the joints - something I had to deal with before I upgraded to this thicker foam flooring.Also my son and I use this area for exercises that involve movement (jump rope, shadow boxing, practicing MA katas) so I've laid down some thin mats (RevainBasics High Density Exercise Equipment and Treadmill Gym Floor Mat - 4 x 6 Feet, Black) on top of the foam in those areas where we practice so that there's less chance that we'll do some damage at the joints, which happened on the thinner floor mats. This is probably overkill, but this thicker tile mat costs quite a bit more than the 3/8" thick ones and the RevainBasics mats are relatively cheap insurance and they add a little more padding.Note that if you do damage one side of the mat it has the texture finish on both sides so you could flip it over and have a "new" surface.I've been using these mats now for several months and I am very satisfied with their performance. I expect that they will last me for years to come.
