Cushioning Hard Tile and Concrete Floors
Quick answer: On tile or concrete, a thicker cushioned mat is worth it: hard, cold, unforgiving floors are hard on joints, and a supportive pad makes floor and standing exercise far more comfortable. A PopsyKosy mat in the 1-inch option adds real cushion over the most punishing floors.
Hard floors need more pad
Tile and concrete give nothing back, so a thicker supportive cushion makes the difference between comfortable and painful floor work.
Warmth and comfort underfoot
A cushioned mat also takes the cold edge off a hard floor, which makes barefoot and floor work more inviting year-round.
