Great yoga mat for a beginner. Had some issues with the order initially as the order was put through twice somehow from their side. Amazon quickly rectified the problem and I received the refund for the second mat promptly. I do find though that there are now some marks on the mat from where I've applied pressure during yoga. On the plus side, for anyone with sensitive back, knees and elbows, this mat provides that support. I do agree with some of comments about how the thickness of the mat may not be suitable for intermediate level yoga practises as in some occasions you may find you will lose balance in certain poses. Which is why this mat has lost a star from me. As this was my first yoga mat I didn't fuss too much about the quality.

Hmmmm.... I don't know how I feel about this mat.I bought the 10mm one and it is very, very thick and comfortable, that's certain.I use it for home circuit sessions with exercises ranging from burpees to press ups, sit ups, star jumps, jumping jacks, lunges etc - so quite vigourous. I get that it's intended for yoga/pilates but I had hoped it would be a bit more robust, especially as it was among the "quality" end of the market.For what I use it for it does slide and move around. I have to roll it up the other way (so the underneath is on the outside) to prevent it curling upwards when I lay it out to use it. I reckon I'd be happier if it was about 6cm wider (but I was well aware of the measurements -to be fair). And I've only had it around 10 days and already it's showing some signs of wear (I do a daily 100 burpees challenge as well as my circuits).Am I happy with it, yes. Is it fit for purpose, yes. Why am I giving it only 4 stars? Well because the old one I had lasted about 10 years and my wife's old one lasted about the same time and those took the same sort of hammering. And were cheaper, albeit a decade ago. So I think this is ok, I guess...

TL, DR- Neither good quality nor hygienic.Stinks and perishes like natural rubber.Porous foam, i.e., not closed cell, absorbs and retains oils, skin, dirt, smells, etc.Is very fragile, especially the smoothed outer surface, and easily damaged.Elbows, knees, hips easily crush the mat completely and the dents are very slow to rebound.

Was pretty excited looking at the specs when I was ordering it. But when it arrived...1. It does slip2. No matter what I do, it does curl at the ends3. There were already marks on the one side of the mat4. More foam than rubber, that’s why it’s curling up

Bought this after trying two others for exercise/physio/Pilates and finding them too uncomfortable. This lovely, thick mat suits me completely. It takes a few moments to flatten out on the floor when first unrolled, but once flat provides a non slip surface giving support, comfort and warmth for my arthritic joints and assists exercise on the otherwise cold and hard floors of halls and gyms. Kneeling, lying flat, shoulder stands etc are all eased with the depth of this mat. I will probably continue to stand on the floor for balancing poses as the cushioning may cause unsteadiness. A great buy for a senior or injured fitness fiend, happy to recommend to others.

Just the right thickness for my coccyx injury. A bit 'rubbery' (not soft to the touch), and smells like it too. My only disappointment is the "carry strap" they claim is included. It's just two velcro straps, with nothing joining them. They keep the mat rolled up, but it's not for "carrying" it. I might need to think about some kind of bag now :(

I practice yoga in a community hall with a cold floor. Most people practice in their socks but now that I have this mat my feet stay warm without the socks (I dislike doing yoga in socks). This is a great mat and really is non-slip. My only complaint, and it is a tiny complaint,some balance poses are easier without the extra cushion from the mat but as I get better I expect this wont matter so much.I've used this mat both on a hard cold floor and on carpet and it works perfectly well on both surfaces.

Bag is very helpful. It has a nice handle. The 15mm mat I bought for pilates is very nice, comfortable and very large. My height is 1.80 and I can fit all on it if needed. Some people said about a smell but I did not smell anything strong to be honest and even that went away after 1-2 days. The mat needs some days to straighten completely up but after 2-3 uses you will have no problems with that. A good tip is to roll it up in the opposite direction from the one the mat goes to when on the floor. That will do the trick.Overall I am very happy so far. I have it for almost a month. Good buy.
