Does the mat hold its shape under weight or does it compress ?

We use this mat to stand on and walk on. It has held it's shape under heavy use in this capacity for several months. We do not put objects on it so do not know if it will hold up under the weight.

The mat will leave little indentations no matter an individuals shape or size. Actually, for me once I get off the mat the most unusual though not painful sensation is had on my skin.

I can't tell, but I'm not that happy with the mat. It indents with anything that is put on it.It's too soft.

Hey Russ, though it's only a quarter inch thick, it's still a pretty heavy duty mat. I also use it in my garage to do CrossFit wods, but I keep it in the floor. When I do roll it up, it's only for a short time, and it hasn't retained any "memory" from being rolled up. I really don't think you'll have any problems with it, especially if you use it often and don't keep it rolled up for an extended period of time. Good luck!

The pad I have doesn't sink in any farther than the weight you put on it. It is very firm.

I actually sent mine back because it was just too big. I think it would compress down pretty thin though. It's not too rigid!

It sure does compress, and does so well. I've had no problems doing so. My sleeping bag doesn't occupy the whole sack, so I either add clothes or seal it at is.

Yes, it rolls up and compresses easily. I have actually put it back in the bag it came in for a short while waiting for construction to be completed.

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.

Yes, very firm. Having now noticed the other three answers . . . I guess it depends upon how much you weigh and what type of exercises you are doing with it. I use it for back exercises and I am of average weight for my size so for me, the firmness and cushioning are perfect. I love the mat and bought a second one for my daughter (who doesn't live at home anymore). She loves hers as well.

I have been having this mat for months, and heavy load once a while, but have not seen any breaks or being broken of the corner of the mat.

No, the mat is a thick, heavy, rubber substance. It will not move or stretch.

Around the 3-4 inch area. It will compress smaller when you lay on it of course.

not squishy at all, feels like the mats at my daughters gym and has held up very well

As I've only had the futon for a month, I can't really answer that. The center of the mat, where I spend most of the time is compressing a little but, it is still retaining most of it's volume. As with everything, time will tell.

It will compress under the load of the equipment, but should hold up. You probably wont be able to roll equipment around on the flooring if it is heavy.

It does have a very feeble rubber backing that doesn't do too much. It does bunch up, but it can easily be put back in place with your foot. I love my mats (I have two). They catch a ton of grime and dirt from coming into the house. I am always amazed at home much they hold everytime I wash them.
