I have not seen a better deal on this type of foam mat online, mainly due to the free shipping. You can get cheaper/thinner ones from Cap Barbell and others, but you would not be saving much money over these. Forget eBay, shipping costs will ruin any deal.
That said, these are not fancy and the diamond-plate pattern is a bit unattractive (personal taste) and irregular. Some of the pattern angles are WAY off, so don’t expect all your tiles to match perfectly. That is more of an issue if you buy more than one set like I did. This is superficial, however. The mats do lock well together to perform their function admirably.
My only wish is that they would design a greater variety of edge pieces. There are only a few variations of edges, and depending on the overall shapes you are configuring, you may have bizarre looking corners because the appropriate edge piece doesn’t exist to make it look right. If you are just making giant rectangles you should be OK.
Recommended. If I need more mats, this is where I will come first.
P.S. The description is wrong. It comes with 6 pieces, not 4. Each piece is 2×2 (4 sq. ft). 6 pieces x 4 sq. ft. = 24 sq. ft. I took a chance when I ordered, as I knew their math made no sense, and I’m glad I was right. They probably just copy/pasted the description from a similar but different item.
I have had these mats for 1 month now and they are Excellent I could not do my work out properly because I could not drop the weight on the floor.
They make walking around the room much better because you are not standing on floor boards. When Heavy weight is left on the mat 70lbs. or better the weight leaves an impresion which fades away.I have Deadlifted
