The mat is nice and sticky- my stances feel so much more secure. My old mat would shift its position on the floor, this one stays securely in place. It’s cushy, I no longer have to use extra padding under my wonky knee. The one con is that the XL size is quite heavy. I’m getting used to it but if you need to schlep your mat long distances on the way to class, you might find it cumbersome.
Excellent yoga mat for hot yoga
This is the BEST mat I have ever used! I love the grip and the cushion of this mat. No more achy joints for me!!!
If you prefer a larger yoga mat, this is probably the best yoga mat you can buy. I did a lot of research before investing in this mat, and I am very pleased with my purchase. I love using this yoga mat! For reference, I practice power or vinyasa yoga six days a week in a slightly heated room (so no pouring sweat like in hot yoga).
Some things to be aware of before you buy this mat:
- Size: the dimensions of this mat are stated in the description. It's slightly larger than other mats.
- Weight: this mat weighs 10 pounds (4.54 kg) - if this is too heavy for you, there is a smaller version of this mat
- Thickness: this mat is slightly thicker than other yoga mats, but it provides a stable, firmer cushioning that feels very supportive. It's not a soft, squishy cushioning. I have no problems doing standing balancing poses while one foot is standing on this mat.
- Texture / Grip: I have no problems with my hands or feet slipping in downward dog when I am slightly sweaty.
- Rubber Smell: like all other natural rubber mats, a new mat will smell. I just aired out the mat in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight for several days and wiped it down with a warm, damp towel as directed in the care instructions. I am very sensitive to smells and have no issue doing child's pose on this mat after airing it out.
- Color / Design: I bought the River (blue) color and there is hardly any white streaking as depicted in the photos. The mat still looks fine without the streaking. The color is nice and falls somewhere between cornflower blue + blue-gray.
Country of Origin: this mat is made in Taiwan. I have bought other rubber yoga mats made in Taiwan and they were all well made and lasted for a reasonable amount of time. This mat definitely seems well made and I expect it to last for at least a year.
If you practice yoga regularly and are looking for a high-quality yoga mat and prefer / don't mind a larger and heavier mat, this is truly a great mat.
I am 6'1" and it's great having a longer mat to work with. The cushioning is great for my arthritis and it takes a TON of sweat before I start to feel any slide. I only took 1 star away because the box it got shipped in looked like it got in a fight with the mailman and the rubber odor is INTENSE. Luckily the product wasn't damaged in any way. When I started using it my hands would smell like rubber the rest of the day. GOOD NEWS the odor will subside after regular use. No surprise that if you purchase something made of rubber it's gonna smell like rubber. If Hugger Mugger comes up with ideas on how to clean/help with the odor that could be amazing. Highly recommend the mat if you can handle the rubber smell.
