Yes4All Balance Pad, Nonslip TPE Foam Balance Pad with Upgraded Sizes - L, XL, XXL Balance Mat for Fitness, Yoga & Stability Training - Multicolor Options

I've been recovering from an achilles rupture. I got this for the same reason you're reading this; is it just as good as the airex? short answer, no. It's firmer and the foam doesnt snap back to form instantly (it will in a couple of hours though), there will be a lot of foot print indents. This foam will help you get strength back in your weak leg probably better than an airex. The only area it's truly inferior is one legged balance stuff; the firmness makes it a good bit more stable (but its still really good at the same time, just pales in comparison). I believe the firmness makes it more difficult for pushing down / muscle strengthening (airex has more give). This foam is also really good for using as a cushion; either sitting on it or resting my heel on it. In summary, if you have been exposed to an airex, you'll notice a difference, but this will totally help you recover from a lower leg injury like mine. I'm giving 5 stars because you really shouldn't be discouraged from buying this at all (it's a quality product). I did end up buying an airex after getting this, but I use both and think this one has superior characteristics depending on the exercise (better for weight shifts, worse for balance/stability).

Good product and I like the larger size. It's slightly less spongey than the ones my physical therapist uses but I hope it'll loosen up a little with use. If not, it still serves its purpose of making balance a little harder and forcing the small stabilizing muscles to work harder.

I’m really happy with the Yes4All Balance Pad. The TPE foam is soft but still supportive, which makes it perfect for balance exercises, yoga, and physical therapy movements. It has just the right amount of cushioning to challenge your stability while still feeling comfortable on the feet, knees, or hands. The nonslip surface works very well and keeps the pad in place during workouts, even on smooth floors. I also like that it’s lightweight and easy to move around or store when not in use. The quality feels durable and it keeps its shape after using it regularly. It’s a great addition to any home gym and works well for improving balance, core strength, and stability. Overall, a high-quality balance pad that’s comfortable, stable, and versatile. Highly recommend!

This helps a great deal with my stretching. My knees tend to be achy on a mat. A yoga or gym mat does not have enough cushion. Using a pillow is unstable. This is stable and cushions the knee.

The pad arrived in perfect condition with no flaws or odors. I'm 5'6" & 105lb. It gives enough that posing on it using only one foot is challenging. It's also great for protecting my knee from the floor when I put almost all my bodyweight on only one knee. The pad is okay for sitting on cross-legged, at least for the 15 minutes I do. Ditto for kneeling with my shins on the pad. It is so firm that if I'm kneeling with the back of my foot also on the pad (not hanging off the edge) my foot doesn't sink into the pad at all and my ankle must be 100% extended. The surface is extremely non-slip and feels like peach skin. It might be easy to damage by scrubbing or using it on a rough surface. So, I recommend frequently wiping it clean with a damp cloth. Because I might use this outside, I made a close-fitting vinyl zipper case for it. Overall, I'm quite satisfied.

Great product

This pad is like a dream for my knees 😊.

立ちデスク作業用に購入。 マットの上に立ってるだけで気持ち良くなれます。 長時間立ってPC作業してても足が疲れにくいです。 大きめ買って正解。

Bought this for my physio exercises after being in an accident. Works well for balance exercises as well as using it to tuck under my back for support. Has good strength and bounce back.

I bought this to use when I do lunges (to reduce knee pain) or planks on my elbows. It’s super soft on the knees and it’s wide enough for both elbows to be on it at once. Nice and squishy. Due to the squishiness I imagine it will tear easily so just be careful about sharp objects or sharp nails.

Good

Nice firm foam pad, many uses...
