I have used this mat for about 6 weeks and no complaints! It ’s very grippy even when sweaty and does not slip on the slick wood floors of my studio. Since the mat isn ’ t textured, it ’s also very easy to wipe down at the end of my session. It ’s heavy but not too heavy and comparable to an alo yoga mat.

I love how simple this yoga mat is while still having that extra “ something ” about it. The foam is cushy enough and comfortable to lie down on and move around on for extended amounts of time. It doesn ’ t move around while changing poses and doesn ’ t crinkle or bunch. Easy to store and carry around.

The yoga mat is excellent, good grip on the floor soft enough for hands and knees. Use it for exercises and stretching and love it! It rolls up well and easy to store when not in use. Defiantly thinking about getting one for my partner.

This is absolutely the best yoga mat I ’ ve ever owned. It looks and performs like or better than MUCH more expensive mats! It ’s extra thick, with a much more substantial and luxurious feel. The extra grippy texture on the backside made sure my mat didn ’ t slip at all on the slick hardwood floors at my yoga studio. Finally, the beautiful marbling is also a huge plus- it really does look so much nicer than any may I ’ ve owned.

Julie
This Calia yoga mat is my favorite. Two best things are its length and grip. I ’ m 5 ’ 8 ” tall so many yoga mats are to short, not this one. I can keep my feet and hands on the matt. No more slippery grip cuz my feet don ’ t fit. The grip is amazing, even when my hands get sweaty. This mat is a bit on the heavier side but that ’s the trade off for the length and grip.

Mama H
This mat is my favorite so far! It is lightweight, easy to transport, very cute, comfortable, easily cleaned, and always gets compliments! I have the 5mm in terracotta. I wasn ’ t sure about the color at first, but I am definitely a fan now. I am always asked where I got this mat. If you are in need of a mat, head to Dick ’s Sporting Goods and get yourself one!

This mat stood out to me because it wasn ’ t just plain black. The thickness was just right for me and I liked that it has the grip on one side and it is smooth on the other for comfort. This is not the softest mat from this brand but it has stood up to me degrading it all over town from studios to outside.

Probably one of the best yoga mats I have ever own. Not only do I use if when I exercise, but I love to stretch out on it. It ’s reversible which is a great feature, super supportive and I love the line down the middle which helps keep my aligned while exercising and stretching. It ’s got a good grip on it which helps if your sweating during your work out. If your looking for a new mat, you definitely should give this one a try.

This mat was a huge surprise. I didn ’ t think I ’ d ever like one more than my spendy lulu one. First, great color, but even better was the feel. It stays flat without rolling up, has the perfect amount of stickiness, and cushioning that feels like you are on a cloud. I wouldn ’ t change a thing.

I chose this product because i wanted a good mat for yoga and for ab workouts. This mat checks all the boxes. It has enough cushion to be comfortable on a tile floor. It has good grip so the mat does not slide on the floor and your feet do n't slip either. Another nice feature is the line that goes right down the middle of the mat. This helps with feet placement with any exercise you are doing. When you are done working out it is easy to clean and rolls up for easy storage. I can also tell from the quality of the mat i will be using this yoga mat for a very long time.

I have been using a good mat for yoga, though basic, it has helped me 6 months in my practice. This Manduka mat is really worth the price since it has enough cushioning, not so much that makes one lose balance but good for a head stand. Also, it has a great grip for positions when you press hard with hands and feet. It is long enough for me to fit laying down and it is n't that heavy. A very good product overall, I highly recoment it for anyone who practices yoga or even other sports.

I purchased this yoga mat at my local Dick's Sporting Goods Store. I had been wanting a really good mat after attending Hot Yoga with an' ordinary' Target- brand mat. I was slipping and sliding all over the place with my previous mat. With the Manduka PRO Mat, I was calm- cool- and stable. It was wonderful! It is a little slick at first( the protective coating has to wear off), but that will get better with time. I have become a Manduka fanatic after using this mat. FYI- it is a little heavy. I would recommend purchasing a yoga strap or yoga bag to haul this puppy around in.

[ Awesome travel yoga mat. Like it's sister mats, this one is super sticky so you have good grip on your mat no matter what asana you choose; from Dancer, Warrior 2, or handstands, there will be no slippage on your mat! This mat folds up nicely for travel, easily fitting into a crammed suitcase then coming out as if it had never been folded. It's amazing. Bear in mind this is a travel mat therefore it is thin! May want additional padding underneath Once you reach your destination or you may desire a thin mat mat. Just know what you are ordering. It is unfair to the store and manufacturer, for you, a customer, to buy a travel mat then give it a poor rating because it's thin, when that is what a travel mats all about!!!

The only slight negative is it is a little heavy, not bad but I was just surprised when I picked it up.

[ So far I 've only used this for one class, but it is not slippery! I go to buti yoga, which is sort of like a combination between cardio and yoga, and I sweat, although I am not a heavy sweater. It involves a lot of downward dogs, and I felt much more stable than I did on my previous mat. My hands felt grounded and did not slide. The mat did seem a bit slick when I first received it, but I read lots of reviews and followed a few suggestions: leaving it out in the sun for a few hours( it was 80 degrees), rubbing a fine grain sandpaper over it( once over, applying a bit of force), and using a heavy duty scotch- brite sponge with some cleaner( I used Mrs. Meyers) before rinsing it off and letting it dry. I maybe spent 10- 15 minutes using the sandpaper and cleaner. And it worked! I am hopeful that this is my soul mat.

Good bye old purple yoga mat, hello blue heaven! GoFit's Pilates Mat is exceptional, and the price for such comfort..... absolutely reasonable- underpriced if anything! I have bought a couple of mats searching for enough cushioning to use on hardwood floors& only got bruises. If you have hardwood floors or any hard surface- you must get this mat, if I could give more stars I would=) The curling issue, not a biggie. Keep the box it comes rolled up in, and reverse roll it. After each use, roll up opposite of last roll and place it back in box. I LOVE THIS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!
5
Kzookelly
If, like me, you have a prominent coccyx( tailbone) and bruise a lot there when doing crunches, pilates, or yoga, this is the most comfortable mat I 've found. It does make for slightly less stability when doing anything that requires standing on a single foot( I just step off the mat for those) but I find the trade off more than worth it. I have had no durability issues, and it is going on 2 years old now. I do alternate the direction in which I roll it to prevent creasing, though that may be unnecessary on my part. Overall a great mat for comfort, and if I wear mine out, I plan to buy the same one again.

Got this to help fight my hardwood floors and not being able to do a few moves without hurting my spine. Thick mat and perfect for anyone practicing pilates. The thin normal yoga mat was just not cutting it and it took me a while to find one like I use in class. This is perfect!

I like it, for the price it is what it's advertised as. A yoga/pilates mat which fits me from head to toe( i 'm 5'8). It is thicker than most yoga mats which i appreciate. It does slip as i 'm doing some more strenuous exercises, like side planks for example, but not enough to bother me.

Lila Klu
I thought the concept of `` yoga in bed '' was a little silly until I got this mat: my sessions come pretty darn close with it, and I get even more out of my workouts. I use this mat mainly for pilates, but have learned to stabilize on its thicker foundation with all of the yoga poses I do often( including all of the warriors and even balancing poses like half moon). The best thing about this mat though, is how it really opens up my yoga/pilates practice by giving me the extra cushioning I need to do things that were literally too hard on my body with a standard yoga/pilates mat( e. g. truely using my abs, rather than guttering over on my perifery, in `` rolling like a ball ''). So if I can set aside a minor uncertainty about being able clean it effectively-- with all its little wrinkles, and maybe even pores-- it's no doubt my favorite.

Good for a light gym mat, not for yoga ... If you want to have two mats this is a great option for the general fitness in a home

The texture of this mat is very grippy and rugged. It seems it would be good for general fitness, but not the greatest for yoga, which is half of why I bought it. If you want to have two mats this is a great option for the general fitness in a home gym.
When considering an expensive yoga mat, look for features such as high-quality materials that provide durability and comfort. A thicker mat can offer better cushioning for your joints, while a textured surface can enhance grip and stability during practice. Additionally, consider mats that are eco-friendly and free from harmful chemicals, as well as those that are easy to clean and maintain. Finally, a mat with a non-slip design can help ensure safety during various poses and movements.
The thickness of a yoga mat can significantly influence its performance and comfort during practice. Thicker mats often provide more cushioning, which can be beneficial for joint support and comfort on hard surfaces. However, they may also reduce stability in certain poses, making it harder to maintain balance. Conversely, thinner mats can enhance stability and connection to the ground but may offer less cushioning for the joints.
High-end yoga mats are often made from premium materials that enhance durability and performance. Common materials include natural rubber, which provides excellent grip and cushioning, and eco-friendly options like TPE, known for being lightweight and non-toxic. Some mats may also feature a polyurethane top layer for added moisture-wicking properties, ensuring a stable surface during practice. Additionally, high-quality mats may incorporate sustainable materials to appeal to environmentally conscious users.
To determine the right size for a yoga mat, consider your height and the type of yoga you practice. Most mats are around 68 to 72 inches long, which accommodates most individuals, but taller practitioners may prefer longer options. Additionally, think about the width; standard mats are typically 24 inches wide, but wider mats can provide extra space for comfort during poses. Ultimately, choose a size that allows you to move freely and comfortably throughout your practice.
An expensive yoga mat is often designed to provide superior grip, cushioning, and durability, making it suitable for a variety of yoga practices. Styles such as hot yoga, power yoga, and vinyasa can benefit from the enhanced traction and support these mats offer, helping practitioners maintain stability during dynamic movements. Additionally, restorative and gentle yoga practices can take advantage of the extra cushioning for comfort during longer holds. Overall, investing in a high-quality mat can enhance the experience for many types of yoga enthusiasts.
The grip of a yoga mat plays a crucial role in enhancing your practice by providing stability and support during various poses. A mat with good grip helps prevent slipping, allowing you to focus on your alignment and movements without the distraction of losing your footing. This can lead to a more confident and fluid practice, as you can hold poses for longer periods without the fear of sliding. Additionally, a reliable grip can contribute to better balance and control, making it easier to transition between poses.
When considering the durability of a high-quality yoga mat, look for materials that are resistant to wear and tear, such as natural rubber or high-density foam. The thickness of the mat can also impact its longevity, with thicker mats often providing better cushioning and support.

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and proper storage, can also enhance the lifespan of the mat.
