Jade Fusion 68-inch Yoga Mat

Really helped my practice. Non slip, big, cushioned my knees. Worth the money

Just like Goldilocks, I’ve tried all the mats: one thick that was soft and cushiony but I slipped around on it; one that was thin with plenty of “grip” to the floor and for hands/feet, but it hurt my knees.....then I tried this one and it’s just right!! The little extra thickness and the quality of the rubber combine for plenty of cushioning for my knees and the texture of the nonskid surface feels great and it stays I place on the floor. It’s perfect and it is solid rubber so it does weigh a bit more for carrying.

Excelente agarre... y dura muchos años en perfectas condiciones. Súper recomendado.

Ótima aderência e também promove um excelente amortecimento.

Love it. Yup, it's pretty much the most expensive mat out there, so it really needed to be good. And it's great. This mat actually does provide padding against the floor, which is what I look for in a mat. I've tried the medium of the line and the top of the line, and the bottom of the line, and the key, for me, is foam density. Here's how I would classify Yoga Mats: - Highest Density: Hard and Tough (think Manduka mats): they call it a mat, but really, it's like working out on a rubber tire. It's high density that will absorb impact, but it won't provide gentle padding. It's fine if you're a hardcore yogi, but for some of us we need a little extra padding. - Low Density (this is the cheapo stuff). Basically, it looks like a yoga mat, it may even be 1/4 inch of yoga mat, but because of the low density, it squishes pretty much to the floor when you kneel or stand or lie on it, so it doesn't provide any more than a 1/8 high density mat. - Medium High Density: this is what I'd call Jade Fusion: It's high density, so it won't sink like the cheap stuff, but because it's not as hard and dense as the Manduka, it actually cushions a little, which is nice! But it's still high density enough so it doesn't sink to the floor. You actually get a lot of padding out of that 5/16th of an inch. It was tough to spend that much on a mat, but I'm glad I did. The only downside is that whenever I'm not using it, I have to roll it up, or my golden retriever goes straight for it to have a little lie down...

I'm not the queen of ashtanga or anything but I've enjoyed practicing yoga for about 5 years. Much like the Princess and the Pea, I'm really picky about mats and have had difficulty with slipping (my feet sweat a lot). I researched rubber mats when my studio converted to hardwood floors. I already had a thick mat but wanted more cush. This really fits the bill. The smell takes some getting used to but the added comfort is worth a little rubbery scent. And no slipping - EVER. I washed it once when it was brand new, let it air dry, and that was it. I find the cushioning to be far superior to my old mat when I'm doing balance poses. You can really grip it with your feet and it makes holding all asanas a lot easier. Everybody else in my class is using 2 or 3 standard mats at a time to get extra cushion. I use this and I'm just fine and I have middle-aged knees. I never thought I'd pay this much for a mat but it's totally worth it.
