I've got a black mat and it's great. Now they come in different colors, but mine is just black. A thicker, squishier pilates mat might be better for you, depending on what you do, though.

How big are you looking for? If yoga mat sized I recommend the Jade mat really thick and durable for core work/whatever and hold up like a champ. Easy to clean/move.

I need a new mat, and I'm overwhelmed by the selection on amazon. Please help!

I use the mat on a wood floor for my HIIT stuff - mainly use it for planks, pushups, and situps. Ideally would be a little thick for tailbone/back support. My current mat, which I purchased on amazon based on reviews, is too thin and poorly made. I find remnants of the foam all over the floor and my feet when I'm finished.
