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.
