Very Thick with Many Uses!
29 November 2017
As a Personal Trainer, I tend to visit clients at their houses and wanted a thick mat that I could lay down on concrete if I needed to but which would provide a good thick layer of comfort and support. I was not disappointed! It is great quality, really thick and the straps are easy to put on and take off for easy transport. Really good buy with multiple uses! You could even use it as a knee pad if you are cleaning the kitchen or even gardening!

Not suitable for a full yoga practice
29 June 2016
After reading the reviews I was really looking forward to receiving this mat for my yoga practice, which I'm just getting into in a serious way, having managed without a mat at all for a good while. As we have no carpets, the idea of a more cushioned mat was very attractive. Unfortunately, I have to say it is not actually much good as a yoga mat, unless you stick purely to lying / sitting postures. It is very thick and cushiony, which is nice but unfortunately means for standing poses it is a little like trying to do yoga on a mattress. I have had to resort to stepping off the mat for the standing poses and only using it for the lying / seated poses, which kind of defeats the object. I'm now going to buy myself a normal, thinner yoga mat. I can't say how good it is for pilates as I haven't used it for that. Thus, as a yoga mat, only 3 stars I'm afraid.

- QUALITY OF PRODUCT -
Thick material so very comfortable to work out on. I wanted a mat to use in my bedroom, which only just about has enough floor space for the mat. It is wide enough to do simple workouts in a small space such as at home, or to take with you. Comes with a strap so that you can carry it with you to places. The thickness of the mat is perfect. I use mine on a laminate floor, which with a normal mat as I have previously used, was still very uncomfortable and too hard when doing back or stomach exercises. Whereas with this product there is no pain and provides the right amount of comfortability. My mum originally thought it was a carpet, so she laid it out on my floor when it arrived and I walked in like 'what is this'. But now the mat remains on my floor all the time, ready to be used, as the material is so soft to walk on. Also, because my mum likes it.

Many of the reviews claim this mat is too thick for Yoga, however that makes it perfect for a lot of floor exercises like push ups, planks, sit ups and pretty much any Abdominal workout around. The exact same thickness as the mats in the gym I go to.

A very squishy, comfortable mat to use for yoga. Some have mentioned balance issues in certain postures due to the thickness but I have not encountered that. The only thing is the smell - a rather unpleasant mix of plastic and fish. I've been leaving it out to air all week and it's still there, but I can only hope that it will disappear in time.
as for the price I was expecting it to be fairly thin and not very comfortable, but it's incredibly thick and squishy
23 November 2017I was pleasantly surprised by this mat, as for the price I was expecting it to be fairly thin and not very comfortable, but it's incredibly thick and squishy, while being firm at the same time! (a bit like the butt I want to achieve) It doesn't really lay very flat, but I just place a book on either end and get on with it! There isn't a whole lot else to say about it really, except that it's a yoga mat that's very very comfortable!

I adore my mat, came with the lovely strap which is flexible. Also lovely 20mm (I think) of foam which is brill for people like me who when on my knees it hurts after 5 minutes. This Matt is so supportive, I can lie on it with no back pain, roll, stand for long durations and have my yoga safely and softly! The material is super soft and squishy. I got mine in a lovely light blue. On the back it has rigged soft lines up and down the Matt to stop sliding. The only issue is the mat smells a bit chemically and hasn’t gone away after months of having it. It’s not so strong as it is in my bedroom 24/7 perhaps needs airing outside. But apart from that it’s a lovely supportive comfy mat.

I have been using this for about 4 months, now cannot do without it, it is thick so easy on the knees. At first there is a smell of the material but after a while it disappears. I usually roll it up and depending on how you store it, it can roll up on the edges. I like that it has grooves on the underside to add to the grip.
I pretty much use it daily and it still as bouncy as when I first used it.
