Hatha Yoga Extra Thick TPE Yoga Mat - 72x 32 Thickness 1 2 Inch -Eco Friendly SGS Certified

This is quite possibly the best yoga/workout mat on Amazon. I tried and returned 4 other mats before getting to this one. I LOVE this mat. I do HIIT-style workouts at home and I needed a mat that was thick enough to cushion my feet/knees/wrists and did not slip on my hard tile floor. This mat finally did all of those things. It’s thick enough that my wrists and knees do not hurt during floor exercises. It does NOT slip on the tile floor even during fast lateral moves. And I do not slip on it even when I’m sweaty. And to top it all off, it comes in a pretty color. I could not be happier. It’s also a nice size. I’m 5’10” and I wish it was a little longer, but it’s not the end of the world. However, if they ever made this exact mat in a longer version, I would buy it. It is bigger than most “normal” yoga mats I’ve bought, so please don’t let my comment on size discourage you from this product. All I’m saying is that if a longer one ever existed, I would get it. Haha. Another couple pluses that I just thought of: it’s easy to wipe down and clean and it unrolls nicely and becomes flat pretty quickly. I tried a couple other thick mats and the end never fully unfurled. I don’t roll this up super tight, so that probably helps. Also, it seems like it has a sturdy surface that won’t flake or crack. One of the other mats had splits in the surface of it after only one use. I’ve used this one a couple times now with shoes on and the surface is still intact. This one MIGHT even resist dog nails, but I love this mat so much that I am NOT letting my baby on it (no matter how hard he tries)! Wow, I just talked so long about a yoga mat… now y’all know how amazing it is. Don’t try to get the $30 ones if you want a thick mat that won’t slip on hard floors. I’ve tried almost all of them. Just get this one! Update: Only downside of this mat is the horribly useless strap that comes with it. I just re-bought this mat about a year after buying my first one and, despite all the negative comments about the strap, this company is still using the same one. Such a shame. It’s way too small, so it’s hard to get over the mat, and then you’re left with just a teeny length in the middle with which to carry it. I still love the mat though and I’m only buying it again to have one for my mom when she comes to visit. Read more

Super comfy and wide enough to support me. The included string to carry it honestly sucks, but I don't really take it anywhere. (Just get a yoga mat bag.) The mat itself is really nice. Just as the others mentioned, it smelled like the factory, so I let it air out in the sun and now it's fine. It also can be punctured by dog nails. My dog left some divots behind for me to remember him. I think they give it character, for every scar tells a story. I love mine for it's thickness and large size, but if you're reading this, the main problems are: it's hard to travel with, must be broken in, and can tear. Read more

I’ll try and update this once I’ve been using it for a while, but I just took this out of the box and am so excited to use it and happy with the quality so far. My old mat was thick but lost its density and stretched out after a few years of use so it was time for an upgrade. I found this to be a bit pricey at the time when I bought it, but now that it’s arrived it definitely feels worth the investment, especially if it holds up well. It didn’t take long to un-curl the ends once unrolling it, it’s just the right amount of thickness, seems durable, and I love the bigger-than-standard size of this mat. Upon testing it quickly, it seems to stay in place really well on my hardwood floors and it comes with a carrying strap. Read more

Good mat, thick and wide enough to do more exercises. Read more

I really have been enjoying this yoga mat as my joints are sensitive and it’s thick yet just firm enough. I actually use my old thicker mat on top of it, it’s too soft to use by itself and lets my knees feel floor hardness but the Hatha mat is great. At first it left some residue on my hands, which rubbed off similar to the way dirtiness rubs off as you rub your hands together, but that didn’t last. As others have mentioned, the fastener is truly a wide shoelace, so I use an adjustable belt-type fastener of which I have a couple saved from other things. The wideness of the mat is perfect for postures that require opening the knees farther apart. I would give it a 5 star rating if the shoelace has been a real strap. I highly recommend this product.

I love the comfort and thickness of this mat! With arthritis and needing to stretch my body, this has been so helpful. All other mats are just too thin and not squishy enough for my liking. Note I haven’t used it for actual working out, so I can’t say how it is for that, but I would assume it is great still. Read more

I upgraded from my old mat, and this is amazing!! It is at least twice as thick as my old mat. It’s worth the price, and it’s a beautiful color. I am able to do yoga and strength training easily on this mat. It doesn’t slip, provides extra cushion for my knees, and feels amazing to stand on. It is bigger than a standard yoga mat which is a plus for me at home but I imagine it might be difficult or bulkier to travel with. It also doesn’t fold up as tightly because of that so it takes up a little more room. It is durable, because my dog has walked on it several times, and there are no tears or holes!! I love this mat and would buy again. Read more

Great quality. Keeping my knees and feet happy when used on an unforgiving surface. No bad smell like some mats. Like the width as well. Read more
