I am keeping it rather than sending back and trying to find another one. This is the fourth mat I've tried.
This is good and not as heavy as all rubber. Grippy and good with one big "but." It is not a good cushion. If you have issues with knees on hard floors, this will not protect them without an added pad. I promise. My knees are pretty good, and I need to either put another mat under this or use a knee pad.
Other options, the basic 6mm gaiam is my next favorite. The
The cheapest ones that are not pvc or rubber are a little too slippy, but have good cushion and also are nice and stable for balancing.
The 10mm gaiam is junk. It stretches, doesn't grip, and is delicate. I used one class and it was getting dents and wear where hands and feet go for down dogs (I am not a big person, so… it wasn’t me).
So. I am keeping this one, but plan to use either over one of the studio's under it or get a knee pad. Or use on carpet.
Just done with searching and this was at the top of what I wanted to spend.
Note: I haven't used in class yet, just at home. So, I will change this review if it doesn't work in class and I have to return, but I expect it to be fine. Fingers crossed.
Another option so.eone at my studio likes that isn't wildly spendy is called Agoy. I kinda wish I had ordered that one instead, but….
