When my 3 year old daughter started gymnastics we soon realized that we would need to start working on her tumbling and somersaults at home too. We searched locally and were having a hard time finding what we wanted. Luckily for us Amazon had exactly what we needed. This mat is 2" thick and 6' feet long making it the perfect size to practice gymnastics moves at home. The added bonus of it folding in half for easier storage makes it perfect, since we can easily slide it under our couch when not using it. Highly recommend if you need a home gym mat that actually provide cushion.
