Foam Exercise Mats with Borders Interlocking Puzzle Floor Tiles Large Gym Mat for Fitness Sports Workout Kids Baby Play Puzzle Yoga 60 x 60 x 1cm (Blue 6PCS)

over 6 months of heavy use and basically still amazing~ At first was hesistant because I expected a heavier mat than this, becuase that is a good indicator that its got a good grip and stability when placed, but even as lightweight as it is, it kicked it out of the park! This mat is amazing for all kinds of exercises. its thin and tough enough for standing positions, and soft enough when laying down for ab workouts. I use this a lot as a pushup pad as well, and most mats have me slipping on them but this one grips so well and soft, its barely an issue, giving me confidence in my crazy positions! Even when sweating a lot there is enough grip to not make me slip out. All other mats I have tried im always slipping at the first sign of humidity in my hands, and with this I got no problem at all. I havent even thought of using a towel on top of it, but only when I got to clean it. I like the texture and the touch of it too. it absorbs some sweat too though, but doesnt damage its performance, a but of its look over time and wear (over 6 months of heavy use and still looks great!), but thats mostly my fault for not trying to clean it everytime sometimes, time to work out is precious! Very much recommended!

Great durability and grip

Got this yoga mat as a friend of mine is a hard core yoga practitioner and he had the same brand but thinner. Initially I was a bit unimpressed. It definitely has the smell that people are talking about and the non-slip side is, um, slippery. It didn't feel like a great non-slip mat...that is until I flipped it. I used the underside to do my yoga and there was no slipping. The mat seemed to stay in place as well using the "wrong" side. The jury is still out as to whether I'll keep it but I'm glad I figured out the trick to using the side the manufacturer said not to use. The thickness is good though and I do like the cushy feel of the mat. Not my ideal yoga mat...yet. I'll see if the smell disappears over time and if the side you're supposed to practice on stays in place while doing yoga before I make a final judgement..

I set my standards high for yoga mats because I’m training in India soon to be a yoga teacher, so I wanted one that would be soft, durable, non toxic, and eco friendly, and this mat met all of my standards! Plus the color is so beautiful, I got the light blue/navy one and I love that it has two colors on either side. This yoga mat is very soft and has a nice amount of cushion too. When I got it I noticed a smell but they say all you have to do is wash it off and let it air out for a couple days, so I gave it a rinse and then by day 3 the smell was gone. This mat is worth every penny!

Overall good for the price but gets a little slippery during hot yoga
