have you tried winners? I picked up my foam roller there, and recall spotting some cheap yoga mats

another alternative is to just do it on hard ground... it's much easier to balance imo and the line of force travels more directly onto your body

I really don't see how you could get rug burn from doing planks though, unless you're purposely sliding your arms forward and back on the mat

Planks are the bomb... I do them once in awhile, and PR'ed two plates on my back a few weeks ago for 30 seconds.
