At 6.2mm, our extra thick yoga mat is a full 1/4" thick, and is one of the thickest mats on the market. The mats come in a variety of colors that are strong and vivacious, but not overpowering in their brightness. This well-made yoga mat will add comfort to your yoga workouts. And because of its high quality, this mat will last longer than most standard foam mats. When shopping around for a yoga mat, note that what many other companies call a 1/4" mat is actually 4.5 - 5.2 mm in thickness -- considerably thinner than this mat.

Customer Rating: Summary: Great retailer and Comment: this mat has improved my practice dramatically. Previously I was using a Nike yoga mat; it was trash in comparison: I call it like I see it. This mat is great! Comfortable, generously sized and just the right amount of stickiness.
Namaste,

Customer Rating: Summary: The Cadillac of Yoga Mats Comment: This is a very comfy mat. Suportive and cushy, but not so cushy as to hurt your balance. It does have a strong plastic smell when you first unwrap it, but just risnse it off and hang it and the smell goes away within a few days. Also, if it seems a little slippery at first, rinsing it should help and then it should get stickier within a few weeks of use. I like to have two, so I have one to use while the other one is drying from its machine wash. (Which, by the way, I've never had any trobule with -- machine washing keeps it fresh and clean and I have never had a mat hurt by the machine). It is a very durable mat and I can't imagine using another kind of mat. Customer Rating: Summary: Smelly but comfy Comment: I'm not a connoisseur of yoga products by any means. Whenever I have looked for a mat, I've mainly looked for something that is thick enough to keep me from hurting myself on the floor in a color that doesn't give me a headache. As far as those considerations go, these mats are perfect. With a range of colors available, you can find a mat that will keep you calm. The thickness of these mats is amazing. I was unaware that a yoga mat could be described as "comfortable," but there is no other way to describe it.
The only downside to the mat is that it smells peculiar and highly metallic when it arrives. I had to rub it down with mat-cleaner for a week to eradicate the odor. It was worth it.
