Natural Rubber Pro

Got this “yoga” mat on August 5th so I’ve had a few weeks to work with it. I’ve worked physical labor all my life, 12 hours on my feet is a regular thing, so you can imagine that when it comes to recovery some extra love and care for my body is sorely needed. I’ve always just used the mats they have at my local gym for warm ups, yoga, or different types of exercise routines. I go to the gym often enough that I decided to “invest” in my own gear that I can be in charge of cleaning rather than trusting the general public with that job. Browsed Amazon and came across this “extra” large yoga mat which immediately clicked with me, because I can’t tell you how many stretches or exercises I do that finds my knees or elbows hitting the hard floor instead of the cushy mat that my joints so badly need! This thing is heavy duty & stays put…like it’s not going to slide wherever you plant it. It’s “rubbery” but that’s a good thing…it’s just tacky enough for you to hold full body bridges with ease, but smooth enough for you to slide on when you need to. Double bonus…it doesn’t smell “rubbery” at all. Only drawback that I could see for some people is that it weighs about 10 pounds…I personally enjoy it because I start getting “warmed up” just bringing my gear from the car into the gym. I’ve been using it heavy duty and I haven’t seen any signs of degradation in the product yet which you generally see in inferior products after the “break-in” period. I have to say for anyone even contemplating that this mat is worth every dollar!

This is exactly what I wanted. It’s extra large and doesn’t slip on my hardwood floors. It is made with quality materials. It doesn’t have a lot of cushion but that’s not what I was looking for. I love it!

Almost exactly what I was looking for... except, I was hoping it was about a foot wider, wish it had some guides or hand foot placement markers, and would like it just a little bit thicker (with more cushion). With that said... and after order several other low-quality mats... I just want to say that I am very, very pleased with this mat!! I think it actually deserves 4.5 Stars. Great Buy!

High quality yoga mat! The seller/supplier customer support was also a pleasure to work with and they were quick to resolve an issue from my original order.

Really enjoying this yoga mat. It has me on the mat much more often. Nice to mostly fit and the natural rubber is very grounding. Only con is I don’t feel like moving it around as often with it being larger
