Are these firm enough to use in olympic weight lifting or in a weight room in general. Or will they eventually become indented?

No, I wouldn't do it. My wife parked the car on one of my squares, that square has never been the same; these mats will tare in a weight room. I use mine to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, our toenails will pull up little chunks of the foam mat from time to time. Hope this helped.

We use these them for exercise and/or grappling on the floor. They are of good quality but with Olympic weights I am not sure how they will stand the test of time. I do recommend them though.

I use them in a kids play room, they easily "snag" and stay indented once something heavy has sat upon them.

There were some chips in the paint and a scratch when I received mine. But they are so perfect for my use, I don't have a problem with it.Great for benching, pressing, and squats. Cut two 6"x6" about 10" high, tuck them inside rack stands to rest bar on when adjusting!

I use them to hold heavy weights, it may rip the inner lining eventually, but they do really help for the heavy weights and not getting your hands raw.

you could use them for a home gym/cardio. They're pretty thick/soft. They look like something that would be in a kids room, so as long as you're ok with that.

The foam is actually surprisingly firm on this trainer, as long as you keep a good grip. I haven't had any problems hurting my hands or ankles on it.

Down. I don't like them myself. They are too firm for me. I'm sure they will soften up so need to just keep using them.

The weight of the bed itself shud keep them from moving around too much, if at all. I believe the space in the indent is 2 or 3 inches squared, so the possibility of the bed moving around IS there. The key word to remember here is INDENT. The indent does have a raised lip all around of maybe a half inch. Truly I wud not worry at all about it. These are VERY strong and durable risers. I am actually using them for my entertainment center which is holding over $2000 worth of equipment. I am not worried in the least.

Absolutely not! That is what is great about these as well. I find I have to push them down sometimes just because I pull them too high up. It doesn't matter where I "set" them...they stay. Even pairs I have had for a while that have been washed and slightly loosened. They stay put.

As mentioned by Hridoy, the headphone design would preclude you from weight lifting while lying on your back. Otherwise, as long as you have a good snug fit, these would be great for working out - I've found them to be sweat resistant.

depends on how hard you pull. I use them for working out too. What are you going to do with them?

I wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

They definitely are not firm. Medium soft if there is such a classification. I find them very comfortable and have no regrets in this purchase.

No- the indentations are only felt on the exterior. It's completely smooth on the inside. They're great glasses. Heavy enough but not overly.

Yes. I used these on top of hardwood floors and I even had an Olympic bench bar loaded with 20 lbs on each side get dropped by a child playing in my gym and the floors were untouched. Don't worry, child wasn't hurt either and we explained it was dangerous to play in the gym and never happened again. as an extra precaution I put cheap thin plastic mats under the entire room and used these heavy rubber mats under major equipment like my smith machine.

They stay flat. Maybe if you use them a lot and incorrectly wrestle them close, they will get kinked.

I would say no. they are gorgeous and are very sturdy for home use and a family, but certainly, i don't think in a sports bar. But I could be wrong. I bought them for my bar at home and it's just me and my fiance that use them.

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.
