IUGA Yoga Mat Non Slip Anti-tear Yoga Mats Eco Friendly Hot Yoga Mat Thick Workout & Exercise Mat for Yoga, Pilates and Fitness (72″x 24″x 6mm)

Pleasantly surprised. I’ve been on a mat buying splurge lately and many of them have been pricey! So, I was thinking that i might not like this mat very much and that it was just an average cheaper mat, but I actually like it a lot. It is non-slip without being sticky. Don’t know if that makes sense but it has a very nice, soft, almost velvety feel to the mat. I can easily adjust my feet without lifting them like you have to on a very sticky mat. My yoga practice is not very sweaty so I can’t comment on how it would be for hot yoga, but for regular hatha and vinyasa its great. It does state on the label that it is a closed cell construction, which means it won’t absorb sweat (similar to Manduka) so I assume it might get slippery. However, it should stay looking newer and cleaner compared to those mats that do suck up your sweat, such as Liform. I really love the softness of this mat, very cloud like, its 6mm thick so a bit thicker than average and the density is much softer than a Manduka but I think it gives more support than your basic $15 mat. I find it very comfortable on my knees ( I have hardwood floors so I need more cushion.) It feels great to do headstands on and if you have a more restorative/yin type practice it would be perfect. I didn’t notice any noxious smells, but I’m not sensitive to that. I think all mats smell rubbery at first. There was a white powdery residue that rubbed off during my first practice, so you might wipe it with a damp rag. I only wish it was wider!

Best exercise mat Ive ever used. over 6 months of heavy use and basically still amazing~At first was hesistant because I expected a heavier mat than this, becuase that is a good indicator that its got a good grip and stability when placed, but even as lightweight as it is, it kicked it out of the park! This mat is amazing for all kinds of exercises. its thin and tough enough for standing positions, and soft enough when laying down for ab workouts. I use this a lot as a pushup pad as well, and most mats have me slipping on them but this one grips so well and soft, its barely an issue, giving me confidence in my crazy positions! Even when sweating a lot there is enough grip to not make me slip out. All other mats I have tried im always slipping at the first sign of humidity in my hands, and with this I got no problem at all. I havent even thought of using a towel on top of it, but only when I got to clean it. I like the texture and the touch of it too.it absorbs some sweat too though, but doesnt damage its performance, a but of its look over time and wear (over 6 months of heavy use and still looks great!), but thats mostly my fault for not trying to clean it everytime sometimes, time to work out is precious!Very much recommended!

So much more comfy than I expected. So, I’m not a yogi and didn’t know what to expect. My initial thoughts were: it looks kinda thin and I saw some reviews about slipping, which was concerning because I’m 6’2, chubby, and notoriously uncoordinated, but it was cute and affordable so I got it.My experience now is that: (1) its like *surprisingly* comfy, I mean its so thin, but its not hard when you lay it on the floor at all; (2) I haven’t had any issues with traction; and (3) it fits my tall chubby self just fine.THAT SAID, I should note the context of my usage: I’ve had it for like two weeks, use it every other day for about an hour, and I’ve used it exclusively indoors with AC. I don’t know how this mat may work under more strenuous use or if you were sweating a bunch while you were using it. I mean, I know hot yoga is a thing, but not for this gay. Thus, if you rely on this review, please know I’m basing off of this context.

3 years and still strong. I got this mat back in March of 2020 and it has stuck with me through countless workouts and routines throughout the years. I have done workouts with and without shoes and I can say that it works great. My shoes did not tear up the mat even a little bit in all the years I’ve had it, and it’s perfectly comfortable to use it without shoes as well. I don’t feel any pain in my back when I’m doing sitting/laying workouts with this on top of a hard surface. I will say that it does move around a little bit during workouts but not too much and it’s definitely a very small thing compared to the good. I am now reordering a new one, and the only reason I am doing so is because despite loving this yoga mat, I just didn’t take very good care of it. It is now dirty beyond being able to be properly cleaned. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to start getting it clean again. For me, it’s just easier to buy a new one. If it wasn’t for that, I’m sure this one would have lasted me another 3 years at least.

Durable. Love this yoga mat..super durable and cleans up very easily .

Not the Mat I Needed. As a yoga instructor, I am always looking for a better mat and this one wasn’t it. It is very lightweight and more like foam than an actual sticky mat should be. It doesn’t have any flaws that make it defective, but it didn’t offer the grip, support, or cushion that I was looking for.

Durable but the smell creeps me out. Pros:- Durability: The mat has proven to be durable over extended use, withstanding various workouts and routines without tearing or damage.- Versatility: Suitable for workouts with or without shoes, providing comfort and support in both scenarios.- Comfort: Provides adequate padding for sitting and lying workouts, reducing the risk of back pain on hard surfaces.- Easy to Clean: Easy to clean, making maintenance hassle-free.Cons:- Movement during Workouts: Tends to move slightly during workouts, requiring occasional adjustments for optimal positioning.- Odor: Initially emits a noticeable odor which may persist for a while.- Narrow Width- Slippage: Can be slippery, especially during initial use or when exposed to sweat, potentially affecting stability during certain poses or exercises.

Great grip. Great for hot yoga when it’s harder to grip the mat. I love the carry strap and color!
