REEHUT 1/2-Inch Extra Thick High Density NBR Exercise Yoga Mat for Pilates, Fitness & Workout w/Carrying Strap

I bought this mat for the extra thickness and was not disappointed! My knee was deeply bruised (soft tissue injury) and I did not want to give up my daily yoga, so I needed something that provided extra cushioning. I really like it because it gave just enough added padding between my knees and the hard floor. I use it primarily for yoga, but it also comes in handy when I'm doing cardio and toning exercises on the floor. I have been using it on a daily basis for almost a year now (10.5 months), and it only recently started to feel like it had lost some of thickness; it feels a little more compressed than it used to. It does not regain its shape as quickly after I've left an impression in it (such as hand prints from downward dog), and it has one small tear in it. However, this wear & tear has not prevented it from being a great mat to have handy for daily use. I do plan to replace it soon but that is not a comment on this mat; I just want to upgrade to something with larger than standard dimensions.Here is what I really like about the mat:- Carrying strap makes for easy, compact storage & travel- Not slippery; it stays put on my carpet & my hands can grip well when in yoga poses (it does slip a little on wooden flooring though)- Does not get more slippery with sweat (and trust me, I have drenched this thing in workouts before)- Extra thickness is great on joints- Lasted a long time in terms of thickness- Does not keep indentations from my hands/feet or the strap- Maintains well with regular cleaning (I used a gentle yoga mat cleaner)I have recently decided to look for extra long & wide mats because I feel like I often end up hanging off my mat somehow in floor work. If I could find this same mat but with extra large dimensions, I'd be really great. There is nothing wrong with its size because it is the standard size of a yoga mat, and as a 5'7" tall person it fits me just fine.

I bought this mat for in-home exercise since my apartment has wood floors & it's great! Super soft & it's thick but not too thick for planking or push ups. I'd recommend this for sure!

I was looking for a padded mat to cushion my joints during yoga and pilates. It works great! I like that it had straps to carry. The only issue I have is that it makes a noise (a very embarrassing sounding one) when you move from one position to the next. For example, you can't adjust your lunge.. It's so padded that your feet/arms are cushioned in, so you can't glide on to the next position like a regular mat... you will have to lift a little and adjust. I'm a beginner yogi, so it's not a huge problem for me, but I think a more advanced person doing flow, might have some issues with this mat. I think I read another review about it...It rolls up pretty big, even if you try to roll it really tight.. so its much much bulkier than a regular mat. You need to be careful with finger nails and other pointy things that might tare the mat. I would go for a less thicker mat if you really don't require the thickness for health reasons.

I gave this mat four stars because I was exactly what I wanted in thickness and comfort. For those of us who enjoy actual padding between our bodies and the floor, this mat is wonderful. However, if you are looking for a mat that will not fall apart after three months, this mat is not for you. I use this mat everyday and it has already begun to stretch, show sign of wear, and will soon rip. Reehut sent me multiple e-mails asking me how I liked the mat, which was considerate. When I made this compliant they replied that "this yoga mat can be used for about 3 months for repeated use." It's a great mat, very soft and exactly what I wanted, but I am somewhat put off by the idea of buying a new one every three months. If, however, you are not using your mat quite as often, it will last much longer. I am happy with the purchase, but upset I will not get to enjoy it for very long.

I bought two of these to make a longer dog bed in my office for my two 100lb dogs. They're nice and thick so my pups don't have to lay on the hard floor when they come to work with me. They seem very durable! They dogs chew on all kinds of hard toys and antlers on the mat and have barely torn it (a little torn but a very small amount considering how many sharp toys are played with on these mats). It doesn't have the easiest finish to clean though. Some yoga mats have more of a top coat on them that makes them easy to wipe down, I think. This is really just the foam stuff so it has stained from dirt, mud, and drool. I'm sure most people won't have this issue as you're probably using it how it was designed to be used. Overall, they've stood up very well to my mutts and are probably far more durable than any yogi needs on a regular basis!

My yoga teacher sorta shamed me for having a too-thick mat! I will keep this one at home. I don't sweat a lot, and I don't do hot yoga; mostly yin and restorative while I recover from hip surgery. So the grip has been fine for my purposes in the limited use I've performed on it. I got it because my knees tend to get some pain when doing more challenging poses. So, for classes outside the home, I got a CleverYoga, 6mm (1/4 ") thick mat. They're also highly-rated. I'm not rating this mat's durability because I've hardly used it. I will update once I've been using it at home for at least a few months. I do yoga 3 times a week.

I have been wanting to get a new yoga mat for quite some time, as my old one still smells of chemicals after a year of use. My other criteria was that I wanted a thick mat. I like my new mat. It has just the right amount of thickness that is comfortable for use on hard wood floors, and it has no smell whatsoever. I only had a small amount of slippage while doing regular yoga, but the more vigorous piyo did result in more noticeable slippage. I gave 4 stars due to occasional slippage along with a high pitched sound when the mat slips on the wood floor. Over all I am very pleased with the thickness, comfort and absence of chemical smell with this mat. I would recommend this mat to my friends and would buy again for myself.

I first bought this mat in Dec 2020. I loved it. I loved that it was thick enough to cushion my joints. I used it for yoga, Pilates and kettlebell home workouts. I understand that the thick airy mat makes balancing difficult; this was certainly proven in my experience, but it has not been enough of a bother, because protecting my joints is the priority.The elastic bands are useful for keeping the mat rolled but the strap is useless. When I try to carry the mat by the strap, it pulled the elastic bands and the mat slides right out of the bands. This is likely because the elastic is not very tight. Of course, a tighter elastic would damage the mat, so it is understandable.Yes, there were a few dents but those typically disappeared when the mat was not in use. I was very satisfied with the mat for a long time. After two years, the top of the mat (the part which would usually be exposed when it's rolled up; the part where my head and hands rest most often) began to get rough. Whatever lacquer that's used on the mat got brittle in the areas where there was the most wear. Also, the mat began to powder the floor with purple dust. When I life the mat, the floor would have a purple powdery outline. It was clear that this mat had a 2-year shelf life and it was time for another. Sadly, when I ordered the same mat again, it was lost in transit so I never received it.The underside is smooth, and may slide a bit on some surfaces. You can add anti-skid stickers to the mat; the kind that you would stick to a rug.

Great thickness. My physiotherapist recommended

these are so soft and a pleasure to use.

J'emploi ce produit pour faire de la musculation chaque soir depuis plusieurs mois. Jusqu'à présent, ce tapis a la même apparence qu'à son arrivée à la maison. Le fait qu'il soit légèrement coussiné accentue le confort lors d'exercices au sol (ex: lorsqu'on doit se mettre à genou un certain temps). Il s'enroule facilement et la cordelette qui est vendue avec le tapis permet de le ranger facilement entre les séances d'entraînement. J'ai acheté le mauve, je le trouve joli, pratique et ne regrette pas du tout mon achat !!

Bonne qualité, confortable.Le seul point négatif se sont les encochures sur le tapis a son arrivée.Pour la durabilité, j'ai bien hâte de le voir a force de m'entraîner dessus.
