i am never picky about anything, but why is this mat rated SO HIGH???
the only thing special about this mat is that it is a bit longer than the rest, but THAT IS IT!
the mat STILL stunk when i opened it.
It is NOT “Ultra Thick” as advertised. I still feel the tiles on the floor.
It is not even cheap!
I figured regular price $50 and on sale for $30 seemed like a good deal. But i seen equal quality at walmart for $20….
too bad amazon doesnt sell the “praxis” mat i bought from overstock…
maybe i’ll make that request now!

My cheap old mat was falling apart so I started researching for a new one. After looking at mats in all different price categories, I decided that this was the mat for me. It shipped to me lightning fast and I followed the directions and scrubbed it down with some detergent and let it air out in the sun for a few days. I then tried it out at home and was very pleased with the mat, no slipping, good length and it felt cushy. I was really happy with my purchase and pumped about taking it to my yoga class.
Well, last night was yoga class and I regretted my purchase within the first 5 minutes. At home I used the mat on carpet, so of course it felt cushy. On the hardwood floor in class, I noticed that the mat compressed down to the equivalent of a thin piece of cloth where ever my body weight was. You could even see dents in the mat where I sat or stood. I felt like I was directly on the wood floor. The sciatica that I have never had a problem with in yoga class flared up immediately and by the end of class I was having problems moving around. I also have bulging lumbar discs in my back and on the car ride home I could feel pain radiating from my back down to my lower calf, I haven’t had back pain this bad in years!
When I got home, I pinched the mat and found that it compressed almost completely flat between my fingers; I tried the same test on my cheap (much thinner) mat and found that it did not compress much at all. Comparing the two, the thinner cheap mat was actually thicker than this mat!
In a strenuous yoga class I may experience slight back pain, on either the studio mat or my old cheap mat, but nothing like what happened last night (and last night’s class was NOT strenuous). I guess this mat will be for on-carpet use only and I’ll continue my quest for a new mat.

I like the length and it is thicker than some mats, but my knees still feel the wood floor using this mat. I wish it was even thicker or softer somehow. Seamist (green) color is great, not sure if it matches my inner self, but it matches my workout room very nicely.

I purchased this mat after reading all the great reviews (thinking… 162 people can’t be wrong). Out of all mats amazon offers, probably the highest number of 5 star reviews out of the total submitted.
Yes, the mat looks and feels great, very little odor out of the box and almost none after washing (and whatever odor there is, it is never unpleasant). As instructed, I washed it in the machine, let it hang dry. It took a while to get dry completely, cause it seems to absorb the water almost like a sponge (remember, no tumble dry).
I like the thickness and length, but… Even though my palms and feet don’t sweat much my hands just can’t stop slipping, especially in Adho Mukha Svanasana. This happens in the very first few minutes, so sweating is not even an issue. I trust other reviewers who claim that using other products by Aurorae to minimize slipping probably works, but doesn’t seem like a good solution to me simply because:
a) I have another mat (different brand) that is the same size and thickness, and no slipping at all (out of the box), and
b) I don’t need an extra piece of equipment to carry around (rosin bag).
I also tried several mats at the studio, some thinner some same in thickness (1/4″), and came across only one that had some slipping (might have been soiled).
I will try washing the mat one more time as some suggest, and revise this review if I notice significant improvement.
Here’s some food for thought. I read reviews for some other brands and someone bought two mats but different colors. One had slipping issues, the other did not. In other words, even if a mat is made by the same manufacturer, is it possible that some would slip, and some won’t depending on the color or series?
I really wanted to like this mat – very soft and cushy, well built, nice design and colors (I got light green), but slipping is a huge flaw for me. I hate to return it, not so much because it’s a hassle, but because I really like the thickness and the looks. Will use it for routines in which slipping won’t be an issue. I’m still hoping that after a while I might break it in sufficiently, so that the slipping will stop.
