Wood floors + 5 yr old yoga mat = Bruises. I needed a mat that was "extra thick" because of the wood floors - so I chose this one. Not a good choice.

The foam is too soft, in other words, the "extra thick" squishes down. Not recommended if you need padding for your back, or if you have hard wood floors.

The mat is slippery. If you would like to challenge yourself when doing standing poses which require serious concentration...then here's the mat for you. Ha ha =) I am unable to use this for standing poses because my feet start sliding.

The sides of the mat are tearing, I don't know how...I'm not doing anything crazy with this, no shoes on it, doesn't leave the house?

This Danskin Yoga/Pilates foam mat is not made to last - not durable. I am disappointed in this product. I recommend spending your money on a better quality mat.



*Did a little research(yes,I should have done this prior to purchase) and CLOSED CELL FOAM MATS are where it's at! I'm off to buy a closed cell foam mat =) *

This mat is not a very good quality mat. It doesn't even seem that it is thick. It feels worse than some of the regular mats I have had. I would definately not recommend it to anyone nor would I have bought it if I had tried it at a store.

The mat is good quality and the carrying strap is excellent. However, I have had this mat for about one month and attempted to use it on a daily basis for Iyengar yoga. It was far too slippery in the beginning to be of much use for many poses. Even after a month of use and washing it by hand and by washing machine it is still too slippery. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is doing many standing poses. I'm folding mine in quarters and using it for headstands only.

Danskin Extra Thick Yoga and Pilates Mat

This is a GREAT mat for Yoga!! I have a lower back injury and I LOVE this mat!! It also comes with a tie rope for easy traveling. It arrived quicker than I expected!

Very slippery! I got this to replace my old one. I opened it up and it smelled of chemicals so bad it stank up my car for days. Then I get to my yoga class and I realize it is so slippery I have to take a towle and rub it down a lot before I chould even use it. I had to switch it out for a class mat halfway through.

This is a great yoga mat. It is a little thicker for some additional cushioning for your knees and tush. For the most part you don't slip. When you are in a hot yoga class, you will slipo a little... but that's because of the heat in the room not the mat.

I love the design on this mat. I think it may be a little short for some people but I'm 5'1'' and it's just right for me. My pilates instructor said it's actually a yoga mat and not a Pilates mat because Pilates mats are a little thicker. I believe this may is 1/4' thicker than the thinnest mat you can buy. That being said, my Pilates instructor also has the same mat in pink, so it's good enough for her to use for yoga and Pilates. I personally have no problem using this may for either yoga or Pilates, but if you're very boney I can see where some if the sidelying exercises might hurt your hip and you might want a thicker mat.
