Sports reviews of Hugger Mugger Earth Elements Eco Exercise/Yoga Mat 5mm (72-Inch, Violet/Lavender)
Customer Review: Love the thickness
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love this mat. It doesn't have that yucky smell of the PVC mats. It did have a smell when I first opened it, but I followed the directions to clean and air it, and it's totally fine now. I also got the hugger mugger lavender mat spray, and now my mat smells great! I love the thickness of the mat. It's not too thick, but just enough so that my knees and back don't hurt anymore. I bruise easily, so this was very important to me. It does get a little slippery when my feet get sweaty, but I haven't used a mat that doesn't get slippery at all when I sweat.Customer Review: I love this mat!

Yes, I really like this mat! It's everything I was looking for. It even has a very pleasant odor like no other mat. The description of it included that it would break down in the dump to harmless particles which made me wonder how long it would last before it had to go to the landfill. I use it about twice a week or so. Last December I started using this mat and after just a few months of use the mat started to release (decompose?) particles where my feet stand in downward dog. Now I use the other side of the mat and it's almost like having a new mat! I'm sorry to see this wonderful mat wear out so fast. I hoped to have it longer than my older less expensive model.

I love this yoga mat. It's extra thick so it doesn't hurt to roll on your back or kneel and it's eco-friendly. Compared to other non-PVC thick yoga mats, this one is significanty cheaper, too!Customer Review: Slippery
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
It's a nice mat, will give you plety of support because of its thickness but I've been using my mat for over 2 weeks now doing yoga and pilates almost everyday but it's still slippery. I still have to use my yoga paws to hold my poses. Customer Review: Nicely cushioned yoga mat, but not sticky
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
The mat is as depicted. I rank it from 3 to 4 stars. Hardly sticky, really, but nice cushioning and lovely purple shade. Long, too. The problem was the toxic smell. I just received the mat tonight, and the chemical smell was noticeable not just around the mat, but in the room in which the mat was stored! I washed the mat in the washing machine on delicate, cold cycle with a bit of Woolite. The smell subsided considerably -- still present, though not as intense -- but there is now a 3" abrasion on the mat. The top purple patterned layer came off on that 3" section, leaving a solid purple layer underneath. It still has a faint NON-eco-friendly smell to it, too.
Do I regret buying this mat? No. But I wanted to share my experience so you would be warned to wash it only by hand.
ONE WEEK LATER: The smell has gone away. If you're looking for a sticky mat, pass this one by. However, if you are more interested in some cushion for your knees, this is a nice mat to consider.
