Product Description:
Thicker than a yoga mat to protect the spine and designed specifically for Pilates exercises, this ribbed foam mat features integrated Velcro straps that allow the mat to be quickly rolled up and secured for compact storage. The mat measures 70 inches long x 21-3/4 inches wide x 3/8 inch thick.

About Stott Pilates
Lindsay and Moira Merrithew met in New York City when he was studying at Juilliard School of Performing Arts and she was a dancer. While rehabilitating from a broken foot that ended her dancing career, she discovered a then-little-known exercise program developed by Joseph Pilates and became a Pilates instructor. When the couple moved to Toronto, where Lindsay pursued work in theatre, television, and film, they couldn't find proper equipment to use for Pilates exercises and decided to make their own equipment with the help of a carpenter. As Pilates began to gain wider recognition in the early 1990s, the Merrithews seized the opportunity to begin manufacturing modern, professional-quality Pilates equipment. Their company now operates some 30 Pilates training centers in North America as well as manufacturing Pilates equipment and accessories.

- Stott Pilates Mat
Super cushy mat - great for Pilates on hardwood floors. I love the sage green color that I got and the straps make storage easy.

- Great Pilates Mat!
I'm very happy with the Stott Pilates mat. It is durable, lays flat, with no chemical odor. It is a good thickness for pilates providing good cushining for your tail bone and hip bones and it is not too squishy, either. The attached velcro straps keep the mat nicely rolled up and it is not overly bulky to tote around. I highly recommend this mat for pilates over the thinner yoga mats.

I am a pilates instructor and find this to be an excellent mat. Others are to thin and do not allow you to roll through your spine as you should in pilates. This mat is nice and dense so you will not hurt your back, yet lightweight and easy to transport with the velcro straps. Also comes in great colors.

- Just bought 8 for in-home studio
I tested out and researched different mats til I was blue in the face and this one won out for several reasons:

1) 3/8" thick mats cushion your spine enough for "rolling like a ball," but are lighter and better for yoga than the thicker mats. 3/8" is the minimum thickness that is sufficient for Pilates I would say.

2) The mats don't squeak underfoot. This is why I returned ten mats of a different brand to a sporting goods store!

3) It is possible to find ... Read More
