Product Description At 6.2mm, our extra thick yoga mat is a full 1/4" thick, and is one of the thickest mats on the market. The mats come in a variety of colors that are strong and vivacious, but not overpowering in their brightness. This well-made yoga mat will add comfort to your yoga workouts. And because of its high quality, this mat will last longer than most standard foam mats. When shopping around for a yoga mat, note that what many other companies call a 1/4" mat is actually 4.5 - 5.2 mm in thickness -- considerably thinner than this mat.
Smelly but comfyAugust 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm not a connoisseur of yoga products by any means. Whenever I have looked for a mat, I've mainly looked for something that is thick enough to keep me from hurting myself on the floor in a color that doesn't give me a headache. As far as those considerations go, these mats are perfect. With a range of colors available, you can find a mat that will keep you calm. The thickness of these mats is amazing. I was unaware that a yoga mat could be described as "comfortable," but there is no other way to describe it.
The only downside to the mat is that it smells peculiar and highly metallic when it arrives. I had to rub it down with mat-cleaner for a week to eradicate the odor. It was worth it.
Thick MatAugust 1, 2008 I really like this because it's thicker than the usual ones! They come in many great colors so this could make a great personal gift for any Yoga enthusiast!
JUST LOVE ITJuly 27, 2008 I really like this yoga mat. It did have a heavy chemical smell when i unwrapped it, yet after washing it outside on the grass, with dish washing soap,a hose (on both sides), and let it dry in the sun....the smell completely went away in just hours. I am very pleased with it and the color of lavender is very calming. I also received it quickly...
Mine is greatJuly 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After reading other reviews before purchasing, I was expecting the rubbery smell. It did have the odor, but it vanished in a few days once it was out of the packaging. The mat is a good length and sticky enough that I don't slip, but not so sticky that it is difficult to transition between positions. It provides enough padding that I can use it on my hardwood floors without discomfort in my wrists, knees, and ankles. Great value for the price.
Despite initial smell... it's a great mat for the price!July 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Mine had a rubbery smell too but I left it in the sun for a day or two and it went away completely.
The mat is nice and thick -- perfect for camel and other asanas that require you to be on your knees.
I ordered the slate blue and the color is a bit weird...not what I expected. But otherwise, it's a great mat especially for the price point.
Also, when you unroll it in class, the end will be a bit curled under... but I find that it flattens out in no time. I would highly recommend this product!
