Gorilla Mats Premium Extra Large Yoga Mat – 9' x 6' x 8mm Extra Thick & Ultra Comfortable, Non-Slip Barefoot Exercise Mat – Works Great on Any Floor for Stretching, Cardio or Home Workouts

Wow. This is the BEST mat I have ever purchased for exercising. It is super thick and cushions my feet for my bellydance sessions that can cause fatique in both feet. It also shields me from the cold of my garage floor while allowing me to lie down for floor work. The 9' x 6' mat is perfect for dance, stationary work, and for any exercise that requires cushion or shock absorption. It is very much like a sticky mat but a LOT thicker. The quality is AMAZING.

Works perfectly. We wanted a large mat for a dedicated workout area in our den, which has hardwood flooring. It rolled out beautifully, is nice and thick-feeling underfoot without being bulky - approximately 1/4" thick. No unpleasant odor. We have both an erg and a stationary bike sitting on it, with room to spare for mat work. The color is a nice deep blue, not too bright and not too dark. I wanted a color alternative to black, but didn't want anything flashy - this works great. When doing mat exercises on it my back feels fine, no additional cushioning needed. It beats my old yoga mat, that's for sure. Love that there are so many sizes available, allowed us to customize the sizing to fit the area we needed without placing a 'custom' order. Carry straps and workout towel were nice extras. Company reached out several times during the ordering process and after delivery, to ensure we were satisfied and didn't have questions. All in all we're very pleased with the product.

Nice firm cushion when walking on it. I like the textured finish. Heavy weight for a long life. Not cheaply made.

This is a great mat for simple stretching.

I purchased this mat to replace a rug that we used for exercise in our basement.I do a combination of yoga, body resistance and weight training with and without shoes.I wanted it to be large (to replace a 5x8 rug) but not too cushioned.I have used it a couple of times so far and it definitely makes barefoot cardio exercising much better.The first time I stepped back into lunge, I literally felt there was something on the bottom of my foot.It's great for routine yoga practice - it is QUITE cushioned, so if you like a thinner mat, this one might not be for you.This mat is intended for barefoot practice - I have been advised it is okay to use sneakers, but avoid high impact.I don't do much high impact training, so should not be much of an issue. I have yet to exercise on it with sneakers.The mat arrived quickly and in good condition. It is very nice looking and there is no odor. I am enjoying having it in our home.

I purchased the 9' x 6' x 8mm Extra Thick workout mat that was delivered on November 16. This product is a very high-quality mat and is working great for my stretching routine. It comes tightly rolled up in a carefully wrapped package. I put the mat on my hard laminate floor and because of the thickness of this mat, it is very soft when lying and stretching on it. On Black Friday, I noticed that the mat was $80.00 less than what I paid for it only a few days prior. I contacted the seller and immediately received a polite response thanking me for the purchase and informing me that they would refund me the $80.00 difference. Great product and a great company. 10 stars for this company and this mat!

I ordered 3 of these mats as I opened a new yoga space for clients. I teach Buti yoga, which is sweaty and intense. After one use, it was clear these mats would not work for us. Within 5 minutes, my students were wiping their hands and even their feet, trying to get more traction on the mats. One student literally put her socks back on because that was better than just the mat.I contacted the company and was told there was a break-in period. I have used probably 6 brands of yoga mats and understand break-in periods. This was like trying to do yoga on an ice rink. I told them I wanted to return them given that the description above lists a lifetime guarantee for the product. They told me to contact Amazon for the return.Here's where it gets really good. Amazon agreed to let me return them, but I had already recycled the boxes they came in. Stupid me. Because when I brought them to UPS, Amazon's return shipper, there were no boxes that would fit the mats. I was sent to a UPS distribution center next, which also had no boxes to fit the mats. I came home and contacted Amazon again. They told me to arrange a pick-up in "any box I had available." I reiterated to them that I have no box that will fit this mat. There was no available option, I was told.SO--learn from my $450 mistake. These are not suitable for a sweaty form of yoga. I really don't even understand how anyone uses them for any yoga. Downdog is downright dangerous. And if you do decide to take a chance on them, SAVE THE BOX THEY COME IN.
