Reddit reviews AmazonBasics Foam Interlocking Exercise Gym Floor Mat Tiles - Pack of 6, 24 x 24 x .5 Inches, Black

I'm not going to pretend they're anywhere as nice as some of the other options in this thread, but I've been using the AmazonBasics mats in a condo and they've been totally fine, easy to store, and obviously cheap.

Yeah I play most games seated these days. But when I do plan to stand for an extended period I use a anti-fatigue floor mat to let me know where I am (I usually turn Guardian off) and to keep my feet comfy.

Something like this:

Good god that's a long link... Anyway not that particular one, that's just an example, I shopped around for a set that was 1" thick instead of 1/2" like most of them listed on amazon. I have some 1/2 laying around that I already had and its ok but really thicker is more comfortable. Only problem is I get so worked up playing beat saber that sometime I start pulling the puzzle pieces apart, so maybe something that is one solid piece would really be better.

Well does this fit your budget and surface area requirements? AmazonBasics Exercise Mat with EVA Foam Interlocking Tiles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0719B8HQZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_u34KAb1RN0QK3

There are a lot of options on Amazon, ranging from children's playmats (which many people review as blocking mats!) to exercise mats. I bought this set because the Add-On price was great. So far, they have been performing great! For what it's worth, I don't even use a towel, and I have had no dyes transferring.

If you want to look at something else, many exercise foam mats pieces are all black like this. But many of these are textured.

Overall, I would say just find some foam puzzle play mats you're happy with! I thought about getting actually branded blocking mats but find nothing lacking with the foam puzzle play mats! Unless, of course, you really like the grid on mats specifically made for blocking.

I covered it with those interlocking gym mats like here and used carpet tape to keep them in place 🙃. My basement carpet is angry on the knees.
