much better than I expected
I stressed and toiled about what I would use to set up the above ground pool that I had purchased. After reading so many articles and watching so many videos on the various ways that I could set up a base for this 12 foot pool, I came across these Exercise Foam Mats from BalanceFrom. I do not have the option to dig down into the earth as so many of the videos and articles have suggested. Im working with a flat level backyard. My kids are out of school and basically hounding me about their boredom. They love to swim, I love to swim. A pool is the answer. I wasnt sure about how I would use these tiles, but after receiving them I knew that they would make an excellent underneath platform for my pool. I didnt have to do any digging! I laid these foam tiles out onto the ground, as is. My pool is round and so I set these tiles in a perfect square shape, extending appx. 4 feet around the edges of the pool. I set the pool up and filled it up. My pool has a pump that I was able to set on the side. I surrounded the tiles with some pea gravel. Voila! We have a nice swimming pool set up for which I dont even have to worry about ANYTHING poking up through the bottom of the pool! The base, made from these foam tiles, feels great underfoot and gives cushion. This is the answer. I love how they interlock like puzzle pieces. I am so impressed with my decision to use these tiles that I havent decided if I will even bother to take the pool down for the winter season. I would like very much to catch them on sale so that I can use them to pad an entire room for my kids. Very happy with my decision to purchase.

It is thick
This is not the best picture to represent the quality becuse I had to disamble due to an issue on the room... but i taped it from the bottom and it is thick material if you put something king of pointy yes of course it will lose shape on that area but its perfect if you want to protect floor.

These are great
I’ve had these for several months and have subsequently ordered more because my dog had taken over my first set (rather than using his very expensive therapeutic dog bed).

Protection for floor
I initially bought these for cushion and protection under my inflatable hot tub. They worked great and I have had no problems with them. I am in the process of building a gym in a spare room and so far put some under my treadmill. Provides great cushion and floor protection. These are perfect for both of these scenarios. I have already ordered 6 packs of these. Would definitely recommend. As a matter of fact, I will be ordering more to complete the workout room.

Good option for under exercise equipment
This is a good option if you have several pieces of exercise equipment and you don’t want to buy individual mats for them. The only drawback to this product is that the material dents easily and heavy items might damage it.

These were placed under our granddaughter’s swing outdoors.
It’s good to know that our granddaughter is protected from hitting the ground, if she should fall out of the swing.

Great set of mats for home gym
Started with 6 just to try and quickly found that these were the right product for me. Price was great too. I ordered another set of 6 within a week to give myself the space pictured. I'm a big guy, and that inch think padding has done wonders for reducing impact and making my workouts more enjoyable. If the times comes to expand further, I'll be picking up more of theseThat said I did find that the mats could slip just a bit on the vinyl plank floor in my basement. Not a large amount, just slight movement as I exercised. This was easily corrected with running rubberized duct tape along the seams underneath and attaching a cheap rug grip pad to the bottom side.

Great mats
I like these mats because it was easy to setup and very reasonable price and They protect my tile floors. The only problem I have with them is when I workout barefooted, my feet slips a little bit on them.

Returning them due to these reasons
DISLIKED:1) tiles were different thicknesses from each other (some where .75" all around and others were .5" on one side and .75" on other side - see my pics)2) the pattern on the tiles doesn't follow a consistent pattern such that the patterns always line up when connecting tiles. In fact, they are cut randomly so the pattern never lines up. And some tiles have the pattern lines fairly parallel with the tile sides where other tiles have the pattern lines not parallel at all to the tile sides. Only some people will even care about this though. See one of my pics for example.3) very slippery on both sides, unlike an old cheaper thinner version I got from Canadian Tire years ago.LIKED:1) fit together very well (aside from thicknesses being off)2) thicker than standard and good cushioning but harder cushioning compared to my older .5" ones. They are about equally comfortable considering thickness vs cushioning hardness.I'm returning them.

Publicidad engañosa!
RESISTENTE:Dice “Esterilla de ejercicio con espuma EVA para … y gimnasio en casa”. En sus fotos de publicidad soportaría equipo de gimnasio (vean banco, rodillo entrenador, mancuernas, pesas)Realidad: Se marca y deforma permanente con equipo liviano (incluyo fotografías de lo que pasa con mancuernas de 25kg, un banco regular y un trampolin).ANTIDESLIZANTEDice: “Con superficies antideslizantes de espuma EVA de alta densidad de doble cara”Realidad: Muy resbalzadizo, (pareciera que tiene algún tipo de cera)AMORTIGUACION:La amortiguación, buena, si la comparas vs un tapete simple de yoga, pero nada más.CONCLUSION (con menos de un mes):Pérdida de tiempo y dinero. Ojalá lo pueda devolver!

Cheap, Hard, Slippery
Overall the product was a very cheap material. Wouldn't recommend it at all. Few reasons that made me hate this product1) No anti-slip in either side, so slips around the floor and when your on top. Ended up putting antislip on bottom but I'm slipping on the top so pointless. It's so slippery, can't even do a pushup without my feet sliding around.2) Material feels incredibly hard, i'm hoping to break it in a bit more but tbh it's so hard, it's uncomfrtable on bare feet.3) Uneven thickness, ranges between .5-.75

Good quality
The tiles all fit together well, and seem to be made of high density foam. They covered the sq. footage I needed perfectly, with 3 tiles to spare, but then I did my homework and measured before ordering.I just laid them down today, so time will tell if they hold up well under the weights (bought them to protect my floor for weight training). I'm sure the heavier weights will leave some sort of indent over time, especially if stationary in the same spot. What I'm interested to see is just how much they will recover (if at all) when the weight is taken off.They have a peculiar smell when first unpacked (not too strong though), but I read in a review that it soon goes away.I sure hope there are no harmful chemicals! I think I read somewhere in the description that there weren't.*** UPDATE*** Three days of use now and the smell is fading... or maybe I just got used to it. 😂. The 70lb dumbells sure made a dent when left in one spot overnight, but the tiles recovered when the weight was removed. It remains to be seen however how they'll handle longer periods of time.

Pattern is not square with the edges of the tiles
The color is ok. It's truly 1 inch thick. It's very effective to absorb vibration when doing exercice on it. Yoga, stretching, push-ups...UNALIGNED PATTERN : As some other reviewers have already complained about there is a clear lack of control quality here. On the six tiles I received, three of them have the pattern totally offset. These three tiles were not cut at a square angle regarding to the pattern (as you see on the picture). And the unaligned pattern does not match with the three other tiles. It does not affect the mechanical properties of the mat, but esthetically speaking it's very ugly. With such a high price tag for this product, this is totally unacceptable.TREADMILL or BIKE : I would not recommend to use this mat under a treadmill or a bike because the foam is not hard enough. I've used one in the past under my treadmill and the weight of the machine plus my weight plus the added pressure when jogging on the treadmill is way more than what this type of foam mat can handle. The foam mat was totally crushed under the weight of the treadmill. After a while the crushed foam was only a few millimeters under the two wheels and the two "legs" of the treadmill.
