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 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.

This is probably more than you want to spend?

I've used it and it's perfect for floor work on a wooden floor...plenty of cushioning but firm enough to do the plank on it.

That is a bit pricey but worth thinking about/saving up for so thanks for the tip.

I didn't even think of folding rather than rolling.

Do the folds not annoy you?

No folds don't annoy. They sort of blend together when on the floor.
Not remotely suitable for taking to a class though!! as I don't even think this would fit in my boot. Courier delivered so I've never had to try it in the car.

Very handy for folding in behind sofa.

Has done duty as a bed for overflow visitors once Grin...that's with a sheet over and a duvet.
T'was quite comfy apparently.

I justified the cost as one DC has core strength work to do; and I have back issues which mean lots of pilates need to be done.
