Customers say
Customers find the yoga mat comfortable without being squishy and appreciate its thickness, with one noting it’s good for back and knee support during Pilates. The mat is great for Pilates and yoga, and customers consider it good value for the price. However, durability and slipperiness receive mixed feedback – while some find it sturdy and non-slip, others report it rips and tears easily and moves around during use. Additionally, several customers mention the mat has a foul smell.

Comfortable
This yoga mat is fantastic! It provides excellent cushioning and support, making workouts and stretching much more comfortable. The non-slip surface ensures great grip, even during intense sessions. Itâs also lightweight and easy to roll up, making it perfect for home use or taking to the gym. The material feels durable and high-quality, so it should last a long time. Overall, a great choice for anyone who loves yoga or fitness!

Upgrade to this thicker, cushier mat
I love this thick yoga mat after years of my plain, thin mat. This one is so much more comfortable. And the straps are very useful, even if I’m not taking the mat to a class, the straps keep it in a tidy roll.

Love the color and the quality!
Iâm really happy with this yoga mat! The color is vibrant and exactly what I was hoping for. Itâs easy to use and super comfortable for both regular and hot yoga sessions. The padding is just right, making it a great choice for all types of practice. The quality is excellent, and for the price, it offers great value. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, comfortable mat!

Thick and Comfy, but Easily Tears
Pros:- This mat is nice and thick which provides good cushion on a hard floor.- The carry strap is a nice touch, although I rarely use it.- Relatively affordable, although in this case you really do get what you pay for.Cons- After one light stretching section I noticed the mat had tears and gouges in it where my finger or toe nails touched. For reference I DO NOT have long nails.- Slippery. I easily slide around on these even when Iâm not sweating.Personally, Iâm throwing this away and investing a bit more for something more durable and functional.

omfortable & Supportive!
This is a nice, thick yoga mat, and it provides great cushioning for workouts. Itâs comfortable to use, especially for exercises that put pressure on the knees or joints.If youâre looking for a sturdy, supportive mat that doesnât feel too thin, this is a great choice!

Firm but comfortable
The only main negative thing Iâve seen on my mat is the imprints in my photo from where the strap was holding in for a very long time which is on both sides, but this doesnât particularly bother me, and itâs just on the very ends of the mat.The mat itself is a good length for me, and while it is pretty firm, it is much more comfortable than my floor. I tend to get sweaty hands, and even through a few uses I donât find myself slipping at all, and the mat stays in place.I know some people were complaining about a smell, but mine hardly smells at all. It does have a rubber smell to it which makes sense, but I only notice it if my face is on or just above the mat, and itâs not super unpleasant and doesnât bother me. I wouldnât say the strap itself is necessarily comfortable if youâre gonna sling it over your shoulder because itâs standard Velcro, but it is definitely lightweight and easy to carry, and it doesnât take up much space when rolled up.This is my first yoga mat as Iâve just started, so I do have nothing to compare it to, but I am very happy with my purchase. When this one wears out I am likely to buy from this brand again.

Bien épais pour la pratique et pas trop encombrant s’il est enroulé.
