Training mat for Elite mag roller?

Hi All

I have been looking for a training mat to use with my Elite mag rollers, but I'm not having alot of success. I bought a mat from Lidl last night which is 15mm thick, but way to soft and it impeded the rollers once they had sunk into it. So my search goes on. anyone got any ideas?

I use a sports mat, Reebok I think, it cost about £15 so way cheaper than 'official' turbo/roller ones, it rolls up and is just fine, got it from fitness section in John Lewis

I saw these in Lidl but decided to try their 'bath mat' for my turbo instead. Was less than half the price of the exercise mat, not so thick and firmer rubber. The only think that I am not sure about is the fact that it is not as wide as the exercise mat so am just hoping the turbo fits on it.
Was wondering if the exercise mat would work but was concerned that it is so thick, would the legs just dig into it and then wobble around a bit...

Thanks guys
Yeah I thought myself that the Lidl one would be to soft and it proved to be. It's not been wasted as we can use it for our camping exploits The rollers sank into the mat so far that it completely interfered with the rollers and started to cut the mat up. Might have to look into that John lewis one . Cheers.
