This was the perfect little exercise pad for me! I wanted something a little thicker and this has been great!

A little under 5/8&#34; thick and it looks like it was cut with a dull blade; the edges are very unfinished. It literally looks like a byproduct from some other manufacturing process, repackaged, and sold as a &#34;yoga mat&#34;.<br /><br />The low price can excuse the cosmetic shortcomings listed above. What is not excusable is THE SMELL! The chemical smell coming off of this mat is nauseating. I haven't even been able to use the mat yet due to not being able to be in the same room with it. I'm not sure if the smell is coming from the mat itself, or from some other chemical used in the making of the mat that is still lingering. Currently, the mat is &#34;off gassing&#34; in a warm room with adequate ventilation. Previously it was in the garage, but the cold temps likely prevented any real smell dissipation. I'm hoping that after a few days at warmer temperatures the smell will subside. Otherwise, I'll reduce my rating to one star, roll the mat up, stuff it in a cardboard box, draw a target on the box, and use it as an archery target (seriously).<br /><br />OK, I just knelt on it while holding my breath. It does feel nice and cushy and my knees didn't pack down the foam much at all. I sincerely hope the smell goes away though. Or not, since I do need a new archery target.

Perfect for my back. I have back issues and need to stretch a lot. This is so thick that makes laying in the floor very easy.

I purchased this mat in red, based on the stock image of the mat color - aka, a deep, vibrant cherry red. The mat arrived... it's a weird, artificial pinkish red. Ugh. Comfortable, yes, but then, so are all yoga mats of this kind. Disappointed. I would have bought a different mat if I'd known.

i have really bad knees and this makes doing yoga so much more comfortable.

This is my second of this particular pilates mat and I love it! I have bad inflammation and am unable to use a regular yoga mat. This mat provides great cushion and grip. Highly recommend!

Exactly as advertised. Very cushy and I love the carrying handle.

Not a rugged as I had hoped. It needs a tougher skin. It permanently deforms and even rips with minor stress.<br />I use it infrequently so am treating it carefully. But I would not expect it to last more than a few months under daily use.

Good thickness

This yoga mat was exactly what i needed. It was extra thick so my knees dont hurt when im doing yoga. It stayed non slip even when I started sweating also. The included carrying strap is great for on the go yoga too. I would definatly buy rhis agian when T one wears out.

perfect thickness and cost

If you want some comfort when you exercise at home these kinds of thing are amazing. The thickness is very awesome for comfort but makes it hard to balance when you're on them so keep that in mind. I prefer to use this mat to do pushups off of, and to lay on when doing abdominal exercises or exercises laying on my back.

Very soft and comfortable!

Just what I needed. soft and comfortable

So soft! Prefect gift for my GF she loved it

Its a thick and dense mat. Have been using it for pilates for about 5 days now and it seems to be good enough. I bought 2 of them and both are a little shy of 5/8 inch. But its good enough.

I ordered this matter because it was the thickest available. I am glad I did. It feels great.

Use it every day. I like the thicker pad. Rolls up and easy to carry with it's strap.

Very durable and comfy to use

Good quality, wife likes.
