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.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great yoga mat Comment: The main concerns for yoga fitness (at least for me) are:
Enough thickness to support my back, but not too much so my feet don't feel unstable when standing.
Good grip, even with sweaty feet or hands (if you are into power yoga, you know what I mean...)
Odorless. Again if you sweat a lot this is a main concern
Right length and width. Enough for your own comfort and small to fit inside an apartment
I have found all this concerns resolved in this yoga mat (that's why I give it a 5 stars).
And last but not least, the price is just right. It beats me how a single piece of synthetic foam could cost up to 80 bucks... I've just paid $16 for this "single piece of synthetic foam" and I'm really happy with it.
Totally recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: The smell goes away--after a while Comment: I, too, had issues with the smell of the mat when I first got it. I purchased 2 mats--one for me and one for hubby--and had to air them out for well over two weeks. They must be unrolled to allow them to fully air out. I imagine if I had washed it off it might have happened more quickly.
That being said--once the smell dissipates--its a great mat with the extra padding that I now need. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent value Comment: I searched all over the web for an affordable 1/4" thick yoga mat and found this offering through Amazon. The mat performs very well, it is nice and long and the variety of colors made it easy for me to choose one that will not be mistaken for someone else's mat! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Mat, Great Seller Comment: My mat came sooner than expected, and is really terrific. Just a note, all yoga mats need some time to air out so don't worry about the initial smell. Customer Rating: Summary: Good, not great Comment: This was my first bought yoga mat. I've tried a variety that the studio provides so I have to say that this is a very standard yoga mat. It's good and does the job, but the surface irks me a bit, because when I sweat, the surface gets a little slimy. Maybe over time though and through usage, this film will wear off and it will leave it a bit more matte. I gave it four stars though, because everything else is good and fine with this mat. It stays where it's supposed to and resists bunching up. I've tried an ideal one at the studio, just wish I could match it. I will probably shop around town next time so that I can try a bunch of different mats out, but this one will be more than fine for now.
