Comfort, portability and versatility, an all around sound investment. The closed cell foam mat wipes clean for easy maintenance. Dimensions: Length 72", Width 24", Thickness 3/8"

Sports reviews of BodyTrends Pilates/Yoga Mat 3/8 inch

Customer Review: Very comfy.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

It's a shame this is not available right now because it's a great mat. I've had mine for over a year. If you, like me don't find traditional mats to be thick enough then this is the mat for you. I have problems with my ankles and neck which cause other painful problems as well. I exercise to strengthen my ankles and to relieve tension from my neck, the thin mats do not aid this, but rather cause more problems for me.

This mat is the perfect thickness for me and though I worried it might not offer enough non-slip power while doing poses, it turned out to be just fine. I've used it for yoga and Pilates with good results. The mat does not seem to get dirty easily or pick-up odors.

The only downside is that because it is so thick you cannot use a strappy sling carrier for it w/o possibly damaging it as the straps will press marks into it. I use a yoga sling bag instead, which is actually better because it has a pocket and offers more protection for it while in transit.

Petite people like myself may find it a bit long, but that can turn out to be useful for some poses. Overall I am very happy with it and if I ever need another mat I will look to the Bodytrends brand first.

Customer Review: Great for Pilates
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

A great mat, the perfect support for pilates, yet still thin enough to roll up easily and carry under the arm. It did not have any 'new product' smell to it, so it didn't stink up the flat or disrupt my breathing during exercise. The length of the mat is generous - I have ample room for my tall 5'9 frame. My only complaint is that it arrived slightly damaged at one corner - the edge of the foam is pinched and deformed. Not worth the hassle of returning it. I recommend this to anyone purchasing their first-ever pilates mat.

Customer Review: Soft Yoga/Pilates Mat
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

The mat is thicker than the usual mat & soft. There is no slipping during use & it rolls up easily. I enjoy using it.

Customer Review: INFERIOR PRODUCT & SERVICE
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars

The mat looked pretty nice when I got it, but after a few mins of light usage for stretching, a tear developed in the middle which is VERY disappointing. I guess the only good thing is that the mat is so thick that the rip did not go all the way through. A few more uses later, the ends of the mat get stretched out and now the entire thing is lopsided and wont balance after being rolled up - looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

I contacted them for an exchange, which they agreed on, but I have not heard from them for over a MONTH now since after I wanted to clarify the procedure to do so.
