Love this yoga mat! Bought it in black three years ago; it has served me well for doing yoga/pilates/workouts at home. Things I like about this mat in particular: it is longer than a standard yoga mat, so you don't have to feel like your feet or head are falling off the edge if that bothers you on standard size mats. It is also the perfect Goldilocks thickness in my opinion: thick enough to be comfortable and supportive of your joints such as elbows and knees during certain poses, but it's not so thick that you would sink or lose your balance.Durability: I'm replacing it after three years due to unintentional damage on my part - I stored it right next to a radiator pipe (my mistake) and the mat warped and no longer lays flat. If you store your mat in a normal location and not exposed to excessive heat, I'm sure it would last many more years. It is also reasonably resistant to your pet's nails. My dogs like the comfort of the yoga mat too, and while their nails have left some scratches, it has only ever been minor cosmetic damage and never any rips or tears.I looked at other options for "upgrading" my yoga mat, but ultimately settled on getting the same kind as before as it is truly a great mat! The new one arrived and the quality is just as good as the original. Got it in the wine color this time; color seems true to how it looked on the screen. As a bonus, the mat also comes with a strap to keep it rolled up when not in use (it also did in the original I bought several years back; I was happy they still give you a strap). I would definitely recommend this JELS yoga mat if you want a mat that is comfortable, functional, and long-lasting!

Super nice, thick, well made yoga mat. Great length and size. The thickness rids the need for additional pads, very comfortable and stays in place. This is not a carry mat, as it is bulky and does not fit in a yoga bag. It does come with straps, which is nice. Definitely recommend.

I've had it over 2.5 years and it has just a few scuffs for wear from my shoes grazing it.Rubber has not degraded, no funky smells, no pilling, no tearing... condition mostly like when I first bought it.It is solid enough to give stability during jumping moves but soft enough to drive my knee into it from a standing position and not take out my knee (Really helps in transitions during a HIIT workout).It does not wipe down easily due to the texture but I just take it outside with a hose and a brush for about 30 seconds.

I need cushion for my knees, and was tired of fussing with knee pads, so wanted thick, but dense mat, so I would get cushion without sacrificing stability for balance poses, like tree. This mat is perfect in that respect. Texture is also interesting, I think if I'd broken it in, it would likely have ended up very grippy, too. Only very slight slipping brand new, anyway, and almost a little harsh feel on palms, but i really think that would have broken in to yield more grip. Also, this seems more durable than most any other yoga or exercise mat I've ever seen - really nice quality materials! However, I'm kind of long, and have a tendency to step on or lay across the edges of the mat in various poses, so the edge may uncomfortably dig in, or the thickness is extreme enough to risk stability if i accidentally stepped on the edge, which i do. So I am returning this, looking for one with 6-8 inches more width. Hope I can find one as nice as this!

The media could not be loaded. This mat is heavy duty and thick with no fishy smell, it rolls up easily after you use it, the carry straps keep it neatly together, the mat is easy to wipe down after each use, the mat is designed well.

It’s going to sound bad, but this is actually a favorable review so bear with me. This mat has such good traction I broke my toe! Now I’ll explain. I purchased this mat to replace the double layer of sticky mats I’d been using as my knees and ankles just couldn’t take the abuse of the hard floor underneath. I wanted a thicker mat to make kneeling a possibility when doing yoga. This is a huge pro and I’m very pleased. The con is that it’s harder to balance with more cushion. I’ve found by stepping off the mat for one footed poses I can have the best of both worlds. Now the toe situation. Several months ago I had surgery to fuse my toe and I’ve been gradually getting back into yoga. Things were going great with the new, cushy mat when suddenly “crack!” The sticky quality so desirable with a yoga mat grabbed ahold of my fused toe and didn’t let go. So I don’t blame the mat. I blame my fused, no longer flexible toe for this unfortunate accident. The good news is I won’t do that twice. If you want a cushiony yoga mat you can actually kneel on, this is your mat.

I love this mat. I bought the black 10mm thick one. I was worried I wouldn’t like it because I’m very picky. I wanted something thick and comfortable because i do yoga in my backyard on solid concrete. I thought the thickness might keep me from doing poses correctly, but it’s thick but not too cushiony. It’s a hard cushiony, which works better for yoga. I was also worried about hand and feet grip while doing poses because I suffer from hyperhydrosis, which means my hands and feet are almost always dripping sweat. I didn’t slip on my last yoga mat, but the texture of it also hurt the heck out of my hands and feet. I wanted something more comfy but I didn’t want to slide all over the place either. I’m amazed that I haven’t slipped once, it is actually grippy while I’m sweating and it doesn’t hurt my hands and feet! That’s a lot for me, I always thought I would have to sacrifice one or the other. And it feels wide and long enough for me. I’m really enjoying doing yoga again.

Doesn't slide around as much as my old mat. I love that it's a thicker mat which provides great comfort and cushion for you while working out. I like that it comes with a removable handle it's great for storing the mat when not in use and makes it easy to carry.
