I thought the concept of "yoga in bed" was a little silly until I got this mat: my sessions come pretty darn close with it, and I get even more out of my workouts. I use this mat mainly for pilates, but have learned to stabilize on its thicker foundation with all of the yoga poses I do often (including all of the warriors and even balancing poses like half moon). The best thing about this mat though, is how it really opens up my yoga/pilates practice by giving me the extra cushioning I need to do things that were literally too hard on my body with a standard yoga/pilates mat (e.g. truely using my abs, rather than guttering over on my perifery, in "rolling like a ball"). So if I can set aside a minor uncertainty about being able clean it effectively--with all its little wrinkles, and maybe even pores--it's no doubt my favorite.

I bought this mat, thinking I could use it interchangeably for yoga and Pilates. It feels great doing Pilates, as it is very cushioned and floats above my hardwood floors, but it may be a bit too thick and plushy for yoga. I've found that it is very difficult to balance on the mat on one foot during yoga balancing poses; however, it feels good on the hands, and it's thickness prevents one's hands from slipping. It squeaks a lot, and does shift and slide backwards while doing "Rolling Like a Ball" Pilates movements. However, overall it is a suitable mat for most Pilates movements, as it protects the joints very well. It was my own fault, thinking this mat could be used as effectively for yoga, and I have since also purchased a mat specifically made for yoga workouts. My dog really likes how soft this mat is, and will often join me during my Pilates routines just to provide me company, unless I shoo him away constantly!

I’ll never go back to those thin ones... The comfort of this mat encourages better, stronger workouts! And is a bargain compared to others! Even if delivery is a little longer, it’s SO worth it! Stay safe. Be well.

I love this mat and use it instead of my yoga mat because it is very comfortable.
