My son wanted his own yoga mat to do yoga with us. I picked this mat because I have a Hugger Mugger and have been very happy with it.

This mat did not disappoint. While the material is thinner at 1/8" (compared to 1/4" for the thicker adult types) it "feels" proportionate for the mat's size and a child's weight. The material is still much higher quality than the typical mat you see at a big box store and provides better support, cushion, and grip even at the same thickness. It seems to be the EXACT same material as the adult Mandara. It stays in place as well as any mat I've seen and the surface grips without being sticky. I also do P90 on my Mandara and the material feels very good, simultaneously providing firm support and cushion.

At a fairly standard 24" width and 60" length the size is a nice blend of being easy for a child to move and take little room to set up but large enough that a kid who is 6 or 8 years old will have years of use before they outgrow it. My experience with Hugger Mugger mats is that they will easily last for years of casual use with decent care taken of them so if you expect your now-little one to pass 5 feet in the next year or two I'd recommend getting an adult size. They also resist dirt and sweat amazingly well and wash easily when the need does come.

Because this is the same material as my adult-size 1/4" Mandara I expect it to hold up about as well. It is not prone to what I can only describe as dry cracking that cheap mats can start to pick up after 6-12 or maybe 12-18 months. A Hugger Mugger is a very nice mat you will be able to enjoy for a LONG time.
