Our Yoga mat came from the desire to provide the finest yoga sticky mat at the best price. We feel that most 1/8 inch thick sticky mats are too thin and soft and simply do not provide enough cushion to ones knees, ankles and other sensitive bones for comfortable yoga practice. Yoga mat is 140% thicker measuring 1/4" thickness and with more density. We wanted a mat that was longer than 68" so that we wouldn't have to adjust our position so often to stay on the mat such as having your face be on the mat during chattaranga rather than touching the studio floor. Yoga mat is 72 inches long which accommodates taller people as well. We also noticed that mats wear out in a couple of areas and on only one side of the mat, the textured side which is always facing up. Yoga mat has a textured traction surface on both sides of the mat so both sides of the mat can be used thus lasting twice as long. We feel standard yoga mats are sort of drab and boring with few color options.
