Melanno Yoga and Fitness Stretching Mat, 6 x 4 Feet (72 x 48 Inch)

I like this mat a lot. I'm 6'3" 200 lbs.As one reviewer noted, the surface can be low friction. If you are prone to sliding around in yoga poses, you may want something with more friction. It doesn't slide around on a carpeted floor for me. When doing exercises, I notice my toes and fingers leave impressions. Within a few seconds, the impressions are gone. Longer, if I spend a long time in one position like with yoga.After contacting the seller, this mat is suitable for cardio.I like that it is 6' long. Doing floor workouts with yoga videos, Gilad, Erin O'Brien, or others is no longer a struggle with my back, hips, and other body parts. Especially floor work with Erin O'Brien's balancing movements.I like the cushion level this mat provides.The odor level is very low. After several weeks of use, it is still there if I get my nose close and try to smell for the odor. I cannot smell this a couple feet away. It doesn't seem to give our allergy family member any issues.The little bubble pattern to the top face kind of makes my eyes blur when I'm up close doing some yoga poses. I just close my eyes for those parts. Certain patterns give my eyes trouble and unfortunately, the bubble patchwork surface does that for me. But I have to be up close to it.The mat is very light. easily rolled up. The problem at that point becomes ... where do you put this? You'll need a 6' long (or tall) spot for this mat for storage. Oh, I guess you could roll it so it's 4' wide. Why didn't I think of that sooner? Oh, probably because it was rolled up 6' long in the box and that seems to be its go-to curl. Well, anyway, have a spot in mind for this mat.Any impressions made in the mat by my feet, hands, or whatever, disappear completely after a few seconds for brief contact or a bit longer for prolonged contact. Maybe a minute or more if I do weight exercises with 10+ lb dumbbells. That's pretty nice. Takes some getting used to.For cardio walking, marching, etc., it's a little weird seeing impressions disappear while new ones occur with subsequent steps. I tend to do the cardio without the mat because my mind keeps worrying about the impressions and then I lose my focus. It's great for more stationary type exercises. For marching and other cardio, I prefer those exercises without the mat. For abdominal and core work, this mat makes those exercises so much easier than fighting the floor.

This mat exceeds my expectations. When I first laid it out, I thought it looked quite thin and a lot like a non-exercise floor mat. Also, it's about half the thickness of the typical, much smaller, foam yoga mats that are rolled up and slung over the shoulder. To my delight and surprise, however, I found the cushioning to be really excellent, with just the right of firmness to provide stability during my exercises.

Product seems to be great. I gave it as a gift and heard a positive reaction from the receiver. The part I did not like had to do with the shipping/packaging. Instead of rolling the mat up to be 4 ft tall the manufacturer rolled it up to be 6 ft tall. The box I received on my door step looked like a coffin because it was so large. It was light weight so it was manageable. However I was forced to hide a 6ft tall box for a week. I left the mat in the box and wrapped it because it was funny to see how ridiculously large the box was.The mat itself seemed to be top quality. It is exactly as I had expected. I haven't used it myself but again the receiver gave it a positive review.

Love this mat!! It is big enough so that I don't feel like I'm "falling off" the sides of the mat while I'm doing my exercises!!!!!

I really love this mat. It's just the size I needed. I am able to use it every time I exercise. This mat is durable, and it can be easily rolled and put away. I would recommend this mat.

Exactly as described and a great workout mat solution for older yoga enthusiasts. My only issue is that my dogs think it's a new bed! We all love it!

Great mat ... thick enough for comfort yet not so stiff that it can't be rolled up and put in the corner. Really helps a lot with floor exercises and agility ladder stuff. Thanks

Worked out perfect to exercise in my basement since it has concrete floors! Doesn't slide too much at all! Working out for daaaaayz!
