good physio/pilates mat needed for DD's physio exercises

I've namechanged to protect DD's anonymity.

I have a long term history of back problems (including surgery). I need to do physio exercises but haven't for ages due to being a) very busy and b) a bit lazy/in pain.

DD has severe hypermobility and needs to do quite a lot of physio every day. To encourage her, I thought I would set a good example and do mine with her. However, we need a really good, quite soft and supportive, floor mat (that rolls away to save space). I've looked on amazon and generally online but I don't know any brands etc that are good. I don't mind paying quite a bit (like over fifty quid for a physio/gym grade one) as it's mainly so DD has somewhere soft to do her floor work (bed is too soft and all floors are wooden at home). We do her balancing work on the hard floor and she also uses a wobble cushion. However, I don't just want to pay for a snazzy 'cool' bag rather than a quality mat.

is it possible to get a really good and comfy one that rolls away to save space/dust (I also have asthma) or is it either or?

thanks for reading. (I posted this in exercise as well as here as wasn't sure about where to put it>)

Thanks AF. They do look nice and thick but maybe too thick to get in a bag?
I think what I'm looking for is something that would roll up into a yoga mat type bag but is made of some sort of magic material which is comfy and supportive without being too thick? or, if it just has to be a bit bulkier, something that comes with a bag.

thanks for the links tho. I will start mooching on physio sites. (I've been wasting my time in sports direct looking at cheap yoga mats). Not sure why I didn't think of physio for, er, physio Confused
