I have really enjoyed using this mat for my yoga workouts. Its very thick yet isn't uncomfortable. Seems to be good quality.

I like using this yoga mat; it's a pretty color and design, has a firm, somewhat sticky surface that is excellent for standing poses and also is thick enough to cushion knees and elbows. I find the standard length and width o.k. for my practice, but some might want to purchase one of the larger ones offered.
I think the material should stand up better than some of the softer mats I've used. It's one of the less expensive mats on this site, but is listed for more on the manufacturer's site. Overall, I think this is an excellent, reasonably priced mat for both beginners and more advanced yoga students.

I really like the colors of this mat as well as the thickness!! It is such a nice treat to do yoga with a mat as nice as this. It's also easy to find in a classroom full of single color mats. It did have a relatively strong odor when it first arrived, but I just opened it up near an open window in a spare bedroom and the smell was gone pretty quickly (within 3 days.) The beauty of the mat is worth the slight inconvenience of an initial odor.

I've been practicing yoga for almost a year now. Before this one, I had a cheapo mat that I bought at Wal-mart. It just wasn't sticky enough for me. So, after a little research - I'm not ready to throw down $89 for one of those fancy real rubber mats - I decided on the Hugger Mugger. So far, I like it a lot. It didn't smell bad out of the box, it's light, thick enough to support you (although I do need to use a towel under my knees in some postures), and it's a lot stickier than my last mat. I will say that I do still slide on it, usually towards the end when we're good and warm, but I am waiting to see if that is just because it is new. I've probably used it about a dozen times already and although it hasn't improved much (stickiness-wise), I haven't had a chance to give it a good cleaning with soap and water either. Usually I just throw a towel down under my hands when I start sliding. Bottom line, it feels good - not too hard, not too soft, it looks great, doesn't smell, but my hands do slide a bit in downward dog. I would recommend this mat overall.

I like the width (a little extra width, compared to most mats). It is also a nice length. I am 5' 5" and I have plenty of room. I love the thickness, as it helps to cushion the knees and back side. The color is also pleasing. I have only had it a short time, so it is not quite sticky enough yet, when I am sweating, but I think it will be soon, and it still does the job. I let it air out a couple of days after reading other reviews, and it did the job for my mat. I would definitely buy it again.
