Customer Rating:
Summary: Much better than a towel!!!
Comment: This item has done wonders for my yoga workouts at home. Until I got this pad, I was using a blanket or a towel; this beats them both.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Quality with Good Price
Comment: I saw the reviews before buying it. When I got it, I didn't feel the smell is that strong as the people said (my nose is as good as dogs :P) Never move when I exercise on it! For the size, I would like to order a wider one. Length is just about good.

Summary: Durable, sticky, deep purple yoga mat
Comment: I find this dark plum-colored mat attractive, sticky and a stable source for downward dog poses, upward bow variations, shoulder stands and everything else. It's long enough for me to keep my entire body on the mat when lying down (I'm 5'4). It's a good, basic product. The mat didn't even have a strong "new mat" smell when freshly opened, which was a plus.
My husband uses the mat for more conventional workouts - as a base for crunches and push ups. We've even used it for tai chi and qi gong.
At a good price point, this product's usefulness lies in between a light traveling yoga mat and a thick plush one. I found it too big to fold into my suitcase when I took a flight (actually, it could have been squished down to fit, but took up more room than I had to spare). So I do have to travel without a mat when I fly.
On the other hand, the mat is on the thin side when using over a bare, non-carpeted flooring. I have tried some of my friends' thicker mats, and those are much more comfortable on the heels of the hands in sideways planks and frequent knee-bearing transitions.
In a way, it might be better to have two mats - one light, thin one for traveling, and one thick, plush one for home use. I have actually ordered a second mat for my husband that I plan to use when he is not, doubling up on the mats for extra cushy comfort.
However, if you are limited in space or budget, or otherwise only need one good fitness/yoga mat, this mat is a solid choice.
Recommended.

Summary: Just right!
Comment: This is my first yoga mat and I am very pleased with it so far--it's durable, has just enough cushioning and it is very non-slip. The mat is a fantastic value for the price!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cheap and best.
Comment: good quality mat, stays firm on the floor, gives good friction when doing Downward facing dog, sun salutations and other hard positions.
