Great Purchase January 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're looking for a thick yoga or pilates mat, this is a fantastic choice. It may be slightly heavier than others, but worth it for the extra cushion comfort.
A good mat, great padding, a bit slick for yoga. March 16, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've never done pilates, but I do yoga, and I chose a pilates mat because they are generally a bit thicker, and this one because I've had good luck with the Hugger Mugger brand in the past, and because I like the color. Yes, some people shop for things based on color. Sue me.
Anyway, the mat is great! I really do like the extra thickness, because I often have joint problems, so some poses can get uncomfortable awful quick if using a regular-thickness yoga mat.
The only 'problem' I have with it is that it is a bit slick. I was told by my yoga instructor that this is common with pilates mats. Yoga mats are generally just a bit sticky, and this one has a bit of that, but not NEAR as much of a gripping feel.
I have also been told that you can use window cleaner or surface cleaner on your mat to make it a bit more sticky. I would recommend NOT using Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Surface Cleaner. I did. It left a residue that took quite a bit of rinsing to get off. It didn't hurt the mat irrevocably, however, so I'm willing to bet window cleaner or another surface cleaner wouldn't hurt your mat, either. I will probably try window cleaner eventually, but only when I have time to rinse it for a while if things go awry.
