Is this mat thick enough to give adequate cushion to your arms while doing planks on a hard surface?

Yes, this is well padded and would be great for that. I am a personal trainer and use this for a couple of my older adult clients for floor work and it is great for protecting knees and elbows.

If your wrists are weak it may be difficult at first. I do planks on this mat, but it is think and your wrists will sink into it. Personally I really like this mat and would buy it again but planks were a little struggle at first. Now my wrists are stronger. The mat is firm, but still has some give. My wrists sink about half way through it. Hope that helps.

Yes- althoughI use it on a carpet - I would not hesitate to use it on a wood floor. Joan

Yes it is nice and thick and cushiony. Perfect for exercising on a hard surface. Wide enough for cushion to arms depending on the width of the individual. Mat is 24" wide. Only thing i would add is it is a bit bulky, but the handles are perfectly positioned to carry it. I leave mine under the couch and pull it out to exercise or for a nap:) No bad smell either. Really like this mat. Hope this helps!

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

It is not real thick but it is cushioned. It works well for me, I use it to line the kitchen cabinets.

This pad is pretty thick and works great for me, but my floors are hardwood. I ordered the biggest mat because my treadmill is commercial size. I know I couldn't help with the carpet part but I hope this helps a little.

This mat is thick enough to be used without slippage or damage to the tile floor, in my opinion. Kon

I suppose that you are talking about cushion grip. The answer is yes, but mild, and I believe related to the temperature of the material.

Maybe. I don't know if it is the same thickness as a gym mat. If the child was not doing aggressive tumbling and it was on carpet it might be ok. It is a little over 1/4inch thick if I remember correctly.

The mat stays good on a hard floor, like in a gym. Have not tried on hardwood. The mat gets slippy when you sweat during the excercise. I like the size, but it could have more grip on its surface.

I cannot measure it now as I am away from home. however, I would estimate thickness at 4-5 mm or 3/16 of an inch. The mat isn't meant for a large amount of cushioning. it will protect carpet and hard wood from heavy exercise equipment. the length and width is perfect for a spinner or stationary bike with enough room to get on and off the equipment on the mat.

This is a very thick pad. I use it with a hard but somewhat flexible backer.

The mat has some cushion but it is not nearly as thick as a playmat. I would use it on hard wood floors if I was with my baby the whole time to prevent any bumps. Hope this helps!

i mean if that's what you you want to do with it, then i guess its good for it. It has really great cushioning for a yoga mat and provides good support for high stress areas of pressure placement. just keep in mind that it has a rectangular shape (mat) and that it is not really a square shaped (pad)

It works fine for me for use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. We use thick mats for the flooring. Not sure what sport you play but if you get slammed hard or do hard shoots you might feel it. Also depends on your knees. It does provide protection but I'm not sure what kind of sport you're referring to. Sometimes I do feel a little shock still.

I personally don't think it's got enough cushion for a gym mat. It also would probably slide a little if you have it on hard wood or tile.

I wouldn't think so, it's more of a soft material. I would definitely suggest taking an additional mat

I think the density of this mat is really good. Yes, it is thick and cushiony, but I don't feel as though it's too "squishy". Hope this helps!

Honestly, I believe these wraps would be to tight around the wrist to pull off bodyweight exercises without pain. A plank on the other hand may be ok because this wrap features a nice cushion wrap.

It seems to me that this is a question for the manufacturer from a durability and longevity perspective (and what they warranty). However, from a materials standpoint if you are using them for a work out it may not be thick enough to absorb lots if bouncing shock. They are about 1 inch thick perfect for a wood floor or over carpet. Also, I would suggest picking them up after use because they are not designed as a long term walking surface.
