Lindsay and Moira Merrithew met in New York City when he was studying at Juilliard School of Performing Arts and she was a dancer. While rehabilitating from a broken foot that ended her dancing career, she discovered a then-little-known exercise program developed by Joseph Pilates and became a Pilates instructor. When the couple moved to Toronto, where Lindsay pursued work in theatre, television, and film, they couldn't find proper equipment to use for Pilates exercises and decided to make their own equipment with the help of a carpenter. As Pilates began to gain wider recognition in the early 1990s, the Merrithews seized the opportunity to begin manufacturing modern, professional-quality Pilates equipment. Their company now operates some 30 Pilates training centers in North America as well as manufacturing Pilates equipment and accessories. | | | Features: | |

Just bought 8 for in-home studioSep 14, 2008
I tested out and researched different mats til I was blue in the face and this one won out for several reasons:
1) 3/8" thick mats cushion your spine enough for "rolling like a ball," but are lighter and better for yoga than the thicker mats. 3/8" is the minimum thickness that is sufficient for Pilates I would say.
2) The mats don't squeak underfoot. This is why I returned ten mats of a different brand to a sporting goods store!
3) It is possible to find an equivalent mat of the aeromat brand for a bit cheaper, but I found the Stott mats were just too pretty to resist. I got sage, but I think they all look nice.
4) They are durable. Other mats I tried out were already ripped - brand new. Dig your heal in once and they probably tear badly. The texture and quality of these mats probably guard against tears.
I love this pilates mat!!!Aug 25, 2008
I have hardwood floors and this mat is so thick, you feel like you are on carpet - well worth the money!!
 maybe too softAug 19, 2008
Isn't as firm as I had hoped based on the description. On a hardwood floor though, works great. Very easy to use and store.
does the jobJul 10, 2008
This mat works great for yoga/pilates due to its thickness and length, which caters to the big and tall. It is also very easy to store due to the velcro straps.

Perfect for PilatesApr 02, 2008
I spent awhile looking for a mat because so many of them seem to be horrid. I'm very pleased that I chose this one. I've been using it for a couple of months and have no complains except I'm not sure how to clean it (there were no instructions on the packaging). It is very comfortable for moves that require rolling and does not slip. The attached straps are very handy and I have no trouble carting it around to class and back. The only difference I noticed is that the color (I purchased the blue one) is much darker than it appears online.
