This is exactly what I was looking for. It is comfortable, rolls up and flattens perfectly for use. If you are looking for a little extra padding and protection for your meditation and yoga or excercise this is a great choice.

I received this and it looks like a nice mat but it's a gift for my son for Christmas so until he uses it - I will not know.

Yes, love it. It has the extra foam I need, at least one inch, compared to others that don't.

Comfortable mat for my physical therapy exercises.

Wonderful. This mat will help me make progress.

This mat is just what I was looking for very durable and thick.

I was looking for something that would pad my hips while doing lateral side leg lifts and this mat is perfect!

Expensive, but anything thinner is useless. I do a lot of core stuff on an industrial carpet over concrete. It's a lot easier to go thru the routines when you don't have to worry about banging yourself on the floor.

I'm fairly new to yoga and found the 1/4" mat on my hardwood floors was not enough cushion for several poses. Found this 1" mat and it works well. By the way, there was no chemical smell whatsoever as mentioned in a couple reviews.

Crown Sporting Goods<br />Yoga Cloud Ultra-Thick 1&quot; Yoga and Exercise Mat with Shoulder Sling by Crown Sporting Goods<br />Too thin, hurts my back, unable to use and, worst of all - unable to return!<br /> Do NOT BUY.

THE BEST MAT THERE IS. GREAT FOR OLD TIRED BONES AND DOING FLOOR EXERCISES.

Way too soft for yoga, not stable and slippery.

This is my first mat that's been this thick, so I know it's going to take some getting used to. I ordered this because I'm now practicing in a space with hardwood floors and *do* have some joint issues. Yes, it's very soft and cushy. However, I think this actually compromises you where pressure and gravity are actually beneficial in certain poses. For example- in child's pose when having a little pressure on your forehead actually relaxes you. You're not going to get that with this mat. You'll need a block or something. Neither will you be able to splay your limbs out evenly in shavasana. Just stuff to keep in mind because it's so thick. The plus side is if your knees are sensitive- this mat is a dream. It rolls up pretty big. You can't use the strap for anything other than keeping it rolled and neat. I've also noticed it's not as sticky and slides when I try to hop on it. If I were to make this mat better, I'd fix that, 'cause that could be dangerous. Give it some texture on the underside and make the strap less flimsy. *shrug* I'll update my review after I've used it for a few months.

Very good mat! Will buy another.

excellent product. thank you.

Hard to balance on this thick mat but it does feel better on knees and wrists....I guess I will use a combo of two mats; 1 thick and 1 thin

Used it today as soon as it arrived. Just what I needed. ( Some reviews said it had an odor, but I detected none...I was worried about that.)

Love it.

Wonderful for 76 year-old who has to do back exercises.

A lot of cushioning. Can be used on a hard floor.
