OK, I went off to find the actual Morton Walker article, and I'd say Dave Hall was pretty liberal in his paraphrasing:

Actually it was her raves that first interested me when the best deal was almost double the current Amazon deal. other than a stinky oil-like smell from the plastic edge cover, I have little to no real complaints the smell is slowly fading in a small area with no real ventilation. It is a firm bounce but totally nonjarring to my joints. straps not springs but therefore, extremely quiet the mat stays flat with no give in the center like my ReboundAIR so much easier for balancing and very good for one legged balancing moves with the stability bar as a dowel ReboundAIR mat is 28 inches across and Yogflex is 34 giving 3 inches extra all around from the center enabling using non rebounder specific workouts with less modifying lower than the RoundAIR so more overhead room IMHO it can totally replace most of my space hogs that each cost more and almost anything done on the incline or flat floor, standing, sitting and lying Barb S who has wasted a lot of $$ on other workout gadgets

Funny how one anecdote gets, shall we say, "modified" for the sake of selling a rebounder? BARB: could you try another 'test'? If you have a heavier medicine ball (or even with the 5# ball, if that's your heaviest), could you really slam the ball into the mat (like your throwing it hard against a wall) and see if it rebounds nicely (do this where there are no breakable objects). Same with the ab move, please. TIA!

Barb - thank you for your input on my "weight bearing" question. I'm intrigued by this - would have to scope out an area in the basement though, a rebounder is not the particular species of squeaking springs my husband wants to here at 5:00 a.m.

As far as noise Pat, it is super quiet As far as head room, I workout in my basement and it is much lower than my ReboundAIR and you really don't bounce upwards off the mat much cuz it isn't that springy. Barb S who has it tilted and ready for a Gin Ramp workout on Tuesday morning and plans to do it much more dynamically, trying to *wake the baby* ETA: I just tried it with the smaller 3 lb ball and if I lob it with the right curve, it does come back in one bounce while sitting probably can change the angle a bit with a few strategically placed books or stacked puzzle mats for the desired rebound
