I am both new and experienced with mats. It’s hard to explain but the extra large size of this mat couple with its thickness and texture makes it a FANTASTIC mat. Especially for the price! Rating: 5 / 5

This mat has a great color and feel and is quite thick. The thickness is great if you need a mat to absorb more impact such as in pilates (or if you’re working on a cold floor in the winter, which I have found it quite useful for). If you’re looking for a yoga mat, this is much thicker than any yoga mat I’ve seen before. It’s nice and sticky but stretches when you put pressure (for example if you jump back into plank, your feet land and then the whole mat elongates a bit). Also if you have cats, watch out! Their claws can destroy the surface if you leave them alone with the mat for 2 seconds. Traveling with it is also a bit of a challenge because it is so thick; it’s about 7 inches in diameter when rolled up. Overall, it works well but again is better for pilates than yoga. Rating: 4 / 5

I use this mat five days a week and have found it very comfortable. The mat is always soft with firm cushioned support when and where needed. I keep it rolled up when not in use but when unrolled it lays flat within a minute. Each time I unroll it it looks just as clean and smooth as it did the day I received. Rating: 5 / 5

This is a great mat for working out at home, its has enough padding to make it comfortable for doing yoga and crunches. However, because of the padding its not great for carrying it around with you everywhere. I got it primarily for home – and that’s where it needs to stay. It would have been really great if it came with a way to keep this mat tied together just for storage purposes. Rating: 4 / 5

This mat is great! It has the perfect amount of stickiness so you don’t slide around when your hands and feet get a little moist. It’s also relatively thick so it’s nice and comfortable to sit and lay on. It seems that the mat could tear pretty easily, so keep you finger and toe nails trimmed and away from pets. Also, this product is supposedly made with minimal impact to the environment and a tree is planted with every purchase. So, it’s an added plus. Rating: 5 / 5
