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)

I just got this, but so far it works great for hot yoga (yoga sculpt). Mat stayed in place and there was no movement at all. The mat does have an odd residue type feeling that stays on your hands but I think it’ll go away with a quick cleaning (I haven’t tried yet). We will see how well it holds up.

The strap helps keep this cushioned yoga mat easily accessible for the gym.

I can’t get this darn mat to lay flat no matter what I do. But beyond that, it’s pretty non slip and works decently. But if the edges curling up bothers you like it does me then go with another mat!

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.

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!

The mat is great, however it did not come with the carrying strap like it says it does, only received the mat and a crumpled up brand label :( but the mat is nice. Would be great if seller would send the strap i paid for..

Great value for this price category

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!
