I've seen "Everlast" on punching bags, floor mats, and all sorts of gym equipment. So I got this mat because I thought it would last. I had to spend a night on a cold hard hospital floor, so I overnighted this mat. I needed this pad to use as a light and portable sleeping mat. It works fantastic! It's firm but not too stiff. I could even lie on my side. No sore hips or elbows! The fold up design made it very easy to handle. It is exactly 1. 5/8 inches thick. It also will insulate your body from the coldest floor. The seams are inverted. There is no odor. And it looks like it is  tough enough to take some REAL punishment. And best of all...the price. This mat is far better than I expected! Whether your working out or need a nice pad so you will have a decent nights sleep, I highly recommend this mat!
