Do Not Buy This - Cotton Yoga Mat Critique
The size is great -- not so big as to overwhelm the studio, but enough to feel comfortable (I'm 5'10"). My thoughts on several comments I saw in other reviews: Common comment: The surface is slippery when covered in sweat. This is a great mat, I really recommend it, but if you are from the ones that sweat too much, it's slippery with a lot of sweat! Still I love it because I mostly bought it because of the cushion. I like to conserve, and hate to waste money and a mat, but I am unable to tolerate practicing on this mat. Yoga mats are always compromises: lightness, durability, length, color, padding and "skidproofness" are all considerations that may be part of individual preferences. It is a little heavy and not that great to cart around. It's perfect for home use or to keep in your locker at the club or yoga studio.
The only negative aspect is the weight. It's a bit heavy to carry around, but I can live with that.
The mat is the same 1/4 inch depth as my other mat, however the material is superior, as it provides a firmer support and cushion of my knees, hands, feet and spine. I would recommend this mat and Amazon to anyone. The mat is thicker, heavier and responsive to the body. Your feet feel both cradled and supported, while at the same time being firm enough to balance upon.
I am very happy with this mat. It is thick enough to use alone.
Version, I had a discount so I'd save money. I didn't like it very much; it slid around more (both on hard wood floors and carpet).
I love my new mat! It provides more cushioning for my knee which feels great. My new mat has light grey streaks on it. This is a thick, heavy mat similar to industrial floor matting. I really did not want to spend this much on a yoga mat. I resisted for a long time thinking that if "less is more" I needed to settle for less.
For this kind of price, I expected this would not be an issue. I attend yoga classes 4 times a week and was looking to own a mat. This mat appears to be awesome, and it is, except it is extremely slippery when wet. I sweat like a spring in a rain storm, and after minute five of my yoga the mat becomes a liability and even dangerous to use.

I purchased the Jade Yoga Fusion mat just last week, and after only scrubbing it once, it is perfect. SHELVES FOR THE GARAGE.
