I have two of those. They are a little nicer, but much smaller and much more expensive.

I have had no problems with the mat, and I'm not a light-weight. The mat would probably work well for you.

I would hope you would get the actual mat. I used mine for a treadmill and it is a wonderful mat. I have not had any trouble out of mine and I would order it again.

I've done P90X and crossfit and I would recommend this mat. I don't slide, slip, or sink like on a foam mat. And your weights won't ruin the mat.

I bought from 2 different manufacturers. Their construction is similar. If you type 'Himalayan acupressure mat' in your search engine, you can go to the various sites.

yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be... » Read More yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. « Show Less

I have yet to see any tears on mine which I have owned for a few months. I'm not sure about the rubber degrading more than any other type of mat. All rubber will wear over time

Yes, same as "THE MAT" just bigger in size. If trying to use THE PRO Mat with smaller cakes sizes you will find THE PRO is too big and will hinder your ability some when covering for these small cakes. Both are great products and I fully endorse them.

Not having had the opportunity to use a wellnessmat, I can't compare. Only know that I got a real deal on mine (a special of the day for fifty bucks and 24X48) so feel lucky as I really can't see myself without one. Really cushy, easy to clean.

I'm not sure. I do have a manduka yoga mat and it works perfectly. I know that manduka mats are pricey but it's really worth it. I hope this helps.

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.

This mat provides better cushion than a standard yoga mat for abs but is firm. I use it on hard tile floors and it is fine. In response to the other answer about yoga I use it for yoga x all the time I find it less slippery than my yoga mat.

Honestly, I can't say what the differences are as this is the only mat of this type that I have used. I have been well pleased with my Kona mat though!

No the mat did not work at all for me. Look for something you can plug into the wall that the battery fits in. Not sure what its called but I have seen them. Don't waste you're money on this mat. Good luck

To be honest I am not sure because I have never tried the Pro Mat but so far I have been really happy with this mat.. Hope this helps :o)

I think that's the brand name.....all I know is it's the best mat I've ever found. I have 4 of them!

it's great and very cushy, as long as you are not doing hot yoga. If you are it gets slippery with perspiration. I tried my Gaiam mat a few times, then ended up splurging on one of those expensive Lululemon ones.
