Customer Rating: Summary: Fabulous and Functional Comment: Great mat. Does the job, just thick enough to give the old bones some cushioning but so thick as to make your joints feel unstable. Other reviewers have commented on the smell - unroll it - let it breathe - the smell does not linger after that! Customer Rating: Summary: Not as described, but quality mat Comment: This mat arrived promptly, and while it had a smell, what do you want for a giant sheet of plastic? My chief complaint was the color is not what is pictured - mine was almost solid green. I wanted a yoga mat that was different than everyone elses!!!! It was also very short - I had assumed (perhaps wrongly) that 68" was the standard size my yoga studio stocked (I am 5'9" and this was about 5 inches too short to full stretch out for cobra). However, that being said, the 1/4" was nice and cushy, and very sticky (I did try it out at home before returning for about 5 minutes). I returned, and re-ordered an 80" burgundy ultra hugger mugger tapas in the 1/4" thick. Great brand, I was just looking for longer, and a different color than the average joe. Customer Rating: Summary: It smells fine. Comment: I was a little hesitant to purchase this mat because of the bad smell reviews; I am sensitive to smells. However, mine smelled fine right out of the box. It is a lovely blue/white color, exactly as pictured, which is soothing during practice. I haven't found that sweating on it makes it too slippery. It's very thick and comfy. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Comment: Yes, it did come out of the box smelling a little funny...sort of a new car/shoe smell. It quickly faded though, so it wasn't a problem. Besides, it's basically a giant sheet of rubbery plastic, so I was expecting it to smell a bit chemical-ish at first, lol.
This mat is so thick, and so gorgeous! It provides the perfect amount of cushion, and keeps me from sliding around.
If you practice Hatha yoga, your toes will thank you!
(If you're more into Bikram, check out the nonslip towels.) Customer Rating: Summary: Great yoga mat! Comment: I really like this yoga mat. It is very thick and lays flat on the ground without rolling up at the ends like some mats do. I have long legs and this mat gives me plenty of room to stretch out.
