This is a great mat for the price; it's better than some mats I've had that cost *double* what this one does.Customer Review: Durable, sticky, deep purple yoga mat

I find this dark plum-colored mat attractive, sticky and a stable source for downward dog poses, upward bow variations, shoulder stands and everything else. It's long enough for me to keep my entire body on the mat when lying down (I'm 5'4). It's a good, basic product. The mat didn't even have a strong "new mat" smell when freshly opened, which was a plus.
My husband uses the mat for more conventional workouts - as a base for crunches and push ups. We've even used it for tai chi and qi gong.
At a good price point, this product's usefulness lies in between a light traveling yoga mat and a thick plush one. I found it too big to fold into my suitcase when I took a flight (actually, it could have been squished down to fit, but took up more room than I had to spare). So I do have to travel without a mat when I fly.
On the other hand, the mat is on the thin side when using over a bare, non-carpeted flooring. I have tried some of my friends' thicker mats, and those are much more comfortable on the heels of the hands in sideways planks and frequent knee-bearing transitions.
In a way, it might be better to have two mats - one light, thin one for traveling, and one thick, plush one for home use. I have actually ordered a second mat for my husband that I plan to use when he is not, doubling up on the mats for extra cushy comfort.
However, if you are limited in space or budget, or otherwise only need one good fitness/yoga mat, this mat is a solid choice.
Recommended.
Customer Review: Good Value for the Prize
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I looked around for a cheap yoga mat and purchased this product. When I first saw the mat it seemed a little bit thin to me but it turned out to be ok. It seems to be impregnated and therefore slippery in the beginning. This goes away after practizing on the mat for a while or washing it. The product is fine for a beginner who doesn't know if he or she wants to go on with Yoga. It is interessting that the prize varies by the color. At the time I purchased it a yellow one was the most expensive so if one doesn't mind the color he or she should look at different ones.
