Exercise mat HMS YM09 — general-purpose EPE foam mat 715×300×25 mm, Black

YM09 is a compact exercise mat designed for abdominal training and general-purpose use. Its pre-shaped form follows the curved profile of the spine to allow a greater range of motion during exercises while providing support for the upper back. Made from expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam in black, the mat is lightweight and portable.

Advantages

The contoured foam surface adapts to the lumbar curve, reducing pressure on the lower back and helping to minimise the risk of strain during core workouts. Anti-slip material on the underside keeps the mat stable on most indoor surfaces. Its small size and low weight make it easy to carry and store.

Suitable for

• Abdominal and core exercises
• Stretching and mobility work
• Rehabilitation exercises targeting the lumbar area
• Home workouts and studio classes where a compact mat is needed

When it may not be suitable

The YM09 is relatively narrow and short compared with full-size mats, so it may not provide enough surface area for exercises that require extended limb movement or full-body support. It is also thinner than thicker yoga or exercise mats, so users who prefer more cushioning for joints may find it less comfortable for high-impact or prolonged floor work.

Key specifications

• Material: Expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam
• Colour: Black
• Width: 300 mm
• Length: 715 mm
• Thickness: 2.5 cm

How to use

Place the mat on a flat, clean surface with the contoured side supporting your lower back. Use it for sit-ups, crunches and other core exercises to increase the range of motion while keeping the lumbar region supported. For stability, ensure the anti-slip side faces the floor; fold or roll the mat for storage or transport as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the mat's dimensions to confirm it suits your height and the exercises you plan to do
• Consider the 2.5 cm thickness if you need extra cushioning for knees or joints
• Assess whether the compact size fits your training environment and transport needs

Usage recommendations

For best results use the YM09 on a non-slip indoor surface and combine with additional padding if you require more cushioning for prolonged or high-impact exercises.
