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. It’s 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!

Thick, durable, doesn’t smell like plastic
If you are someone who is tall, this is a good yoga mat because it is longer than many you’ll find out there. I appreciate the thickness of the material as well, even though it doesn’t look like a triple decker thick yoga mat, it is! I have owned this and used daily for my morning yoga and weight work for about two months now. I’m about 175 pounds and haven’t encountered any discomfort where I felt like my knees or elbows are pressing in the ground. Especially in the knees, that cushion is so uncomfortable if it isn’t thick enough. Don’t worry, with this one, it won’t be an issue. It is grippy to the floor and the ridges nicely catch your feet when in difficult poses. I am also glad it didn’t come with that gross rubbery/plastic smell. It folds up nicely and has a little carrying strap if needed.10/10!

Perfect length & very thick and plush!

Nice and thick, maybe not so durable
Thick and cushy, which is just what I wanted. Now I can do the child’s pose or practice my splits without bruising my knees. I will say I have noticed the dents and stuff other reviews mentioned, so I doubt the overall durability of the mat but for my purposes and for the price I don’t have an issue with it.

Love the color and the quality!
I’m really happy with this yoga mat! The color is vibrant and exactly what I was hoping for. It’s 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!

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.

Firm but comfortable
The only main negative thing I’ve 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 doesn’t particularly bother me, and it’s 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 don’t 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 it’s not super unpleasant and doesn’t bother me. I wouldn’t say the strap itself is necessarily comfortable if you’re gonna sling it over your shoulder because it’s standard Velcro, but it is definitely lightweight and easy to carry, and it doesn’t take up much space when rolled up.This is my first yoga mat as I’ve 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.
