Provides cushioning and its stickeyness makes it much easier to hold poses, no slipping, so much better than my previous mat

Nice and good quality mat. The size is really big and good for tall people. My husband is tall, and this is the only mat on the market he can use.

I just got one of these mats and found it was slipery similar to the comment above.. Apparently there was some kind of oily coating from the factory. I washed it with soap and the sliperyness went away. A word of caution if you do this….this mat absorbs water and soap, so don’t use too much soap and wring it out afterwards otherwise the residual soap will be just as slipery as the oily stuff you’re trying to get rid of. To wring out all the soapy water, I rolled it along with a towel and put my knees on it and the towel absorbed all the soapy water.

While the mat is thick, it isn’t very dense. I found it didn’t give me any more padding than the thinner mat I was replacing.

I bought this because of the extra thickness and it is thick; however, this mat gets very, very slippery with just minimal sweating. I am fairly new to yoga and I’m not doing hot, sweaty Ashtanga – we’re talking basic yoga with some vinyasa. This would be unsuitable if you were a really proficient practitioner. I’ve had this less than a year and have tried various cleansers but nothing makes it less slippery. I’m in the market for a new mat and will try something more highly textured.

I bought this mat after I tried a friend’s. I had two other mats, but they weren’t very sticky, were too thin, and one smells strongly of chemicals even though I tried to let it air out over a few months. Laying on it in a yoga class actually made me feel sick.

The original tapas mat is very light (even though I purchased the “ultra”– which is thicker than the original “orignal”), very, very sticky and does not reek of plasticy, rubbery chemicals at all.

I think it would be hard to be disappointed with this product.
