RitFit Balance Foam Pad - 2 inch TPE Non-Slip Mat for Fitness & Balance Exercises,Yoga, Physical Therapy, Knee Cushion with Multi Colors

We bought this based on a recommendation from a physical therapist to improve balance, but have been unable to use it because it is so dense that it does not provide the necessary challenge for standing. At this point we will be donating it.

Not going to deny, at first, I was skeptical that something that weighs less than two pounds will be able to hold someone plus size/more than petite. When I received the item, it had some minor damage to the item. This wasn't a "big deal" (everyone around me said) but to me, it was because I paid for new not damaged :(Anyways, the first thing I did was stand on it. I was surprised it how bouncy and extra firm it was, I wasn't expecting something so sturdy. Then I challenged it and anchored all my weight on one foot. It held me up and I didn't feel like I was going to seep through nor could I feel the hardness of the floor (just the firmness of this board). So the ultimate challenge was to see how much damage this cause the board with all my weight applied. To my complete surprise, not one new dent... No leftover impression, no evidence that the board was ever used (besides the initial damage to the item). So for that, I was impressed.I've used this board for balancing (which for me is better than that balancing ball), to help me do planks, and to use to kneel down (since my knees are less than great). So I feel this is a great item for someone that wants support doing some floor and/or balancing exercises, and also for daily activities where you might need assistance maneuvering around (use to get down to the floor and support to get up). I really think this is better than any exercise mat, for real support, because of how thick and firm this is. It is not too hard but not too soft/flimsy to where it will be an issue for excessive use. I would recommend, hope this helps :)

This balance pad is stiff. I suppose it's fine for something like yoga, but don't expect it to be soft enough to use as a balance pad for therapy. Also, it has a soft cover that wouldn't stand up to, and could easily tear with heavy use in a gym setting with shoes.

total garbage. Balance pad compresses during use and does not ever return to original shape. After 3 days pad almost totally flat. Do not waste your money on this

Bought this to put on a shower chair after back surgery since I couldn't bend over and needed a few more inches on the chair. Not the intended purpose, but it works great, feels great, is water-proof.

Fantastic product! I bought 2, for exercise & to modify my son's shower chair for a more comfortable flat surface(sinking into a mesh material is not comfortable for him due to his condition). They are waterproof, very easy to clean & very well made. I highly recommend! Thank you Ritfit...looking forward to using more of your products! 👍👍

Perfect for use with Yoga, or any exercise you need a softer surface to kneel on.

Solved the issue with my chair at work being too low and not cushioned enough, provides a stable surface for limb elevation; great exercise mat for working on balance issues. Perfect for so many reasons and it was a fantastic price.
