Gym mat recommendations?

In my "run only" training phase I've been doing some strengthening exercises. Most of the time I do these on a carpeted floor using a yoga mat which seems to work well.

I'm probably going to start working out in the basement a little more where I have a much harder floor surface -- no carpet. The yoga mat is not too comfortable on that surface so I'm looking for a more padded gym mat to buy.

Any recommendations? I'm not overly budget constrained for something like this.

    Hey Matt:

    There are a ton of different types out there.  I ended up getting this one from Amazon awhile back cuz it was inexpensive:

    I use it for my TRX stuff, core work, rolling, stretching, etc. in my garage on the floor.  Works really well for me.

    I'm with JS on the foam floor tiles. We filled a room with them from Sam's Club a few years ago for under $50. Hard to beat. Very comfy to work, kneel, crawl on. If I remember later tonight, I'll post a pic of our 'sweat studio' ... not to be confused with the 'Pain Cave'....
