Update: After a year of daily use, it still looks like new and has not lost any of its thickness. In fairness I only use it for yoga and refuse to let shoes touch it. The slippery issue I had with my hands is no longer an issue. That went away after a few times cleaning it with water and dish soap. I still wear yoga socks though so my feet get a better grip. Due to my health problems, I struggle with strength so I don't to risk slippage due to my knees giving out. I am actually about to order a second one of these so that I can use it with shoes on and not care about it getting dirty when doing my dumbbell or body strength exercises. That way I am still keeping the one for my yoga practice germ free. I still do recommend this mat. This is the best mat I have owned so far. I tend to go through yoga mats fast because I use to use them daily for workouts. Usually they're still too thin and hurt my knees. This mat is very thick and feels supported except for how slippery the top is. The bottom is definitely non-slip and mine is on a slippery vinyl snap & lock flooring. Does not slip at all! But now that I do yoga daily in addition to working out, I needed something sturdy and cushioned. I am sure the slippery issue on the top will go away in time. And it hardly had a smell when I unpacked it. I still wiped it down with warm soapy water first. I definitely recommend this. I read online that microfiber suede mats tend to be slippery at first and to spray it with water to help it stop from being slippery. I haven't tried that yet honestly. I just wear yoga socks and my problem has been solved. Oh and by the way I am 5'11 and all of me fit onto this mat without me spilling over on the top or bottom of the mat when laying down. Read more
I got this yoga mat because I moved to a place with a hardwood floor in the last year. My original extra thick yoga mat was oddly not thick enough to deal with the fact that I have always had very sensitive kneecaps and bones when doing yoga on a hardwood floor. This actually works in preventing me from getting bruises and aches while doing my workouts and is delightful to look at. One thing to note is that the top printed surface area does have a very similar woven texture to a mouse pad and therefore you could slip a little bit more than you would on a more traditional rubberized yoga mat. I have not had any major issues with slips, but it's something to be aware of as you acclimate to the surface of the new yoga mat. If you live somewhere very dry, the slipping may or may not be more of a concern if your hands and feet tend to get dry (mine do not have this issue haha). This said, the bottom layer of the mat is more rubberized and does not budge so it is very safe to use overall. Read more
This mat is a little slippery but it looks and feels great. I love it! Read more
I love the design, I love the feel, but the brushed cotton texture does not hold my hands or feet in place if I'm pushing them with horizontal pressure (ie: down dog, bow stance) Read more
I love the design, exactly as advertised. It does slide around a little bit out of use but stays perfectly when I use it for exercise. Read more
I loved the design of this yoga mat and saw that it said anti-slip in the description so assumed that's what it was. When I got it, after waiting longer than usual to receive Amazon shipments, it arrived with A LOT of packaging and although the design IS beautiful, it's definitely NOT non-slip. When I looked at the listing again, I saw that it says non-slip on the bottom so it doesn't slide on the floor but the material on the top is where I need it to be non-slip. Had to return it. I feel the description is quite misleading and I don't understand how any can use this without yoga socks without sliding. Read more
I simply love this mat! I grabbed it on sale and was so pleased when I unpacked it and saw how good quality and pretty it was. Absolutely 💯 worth the buy. 🖤 Read more
I gave it three stars because I like the cushion thickness, and soft feel of the material and the cute design, but it is not non-slip. Read more
