Is this yoga mat non-toxic? Does it smell bad like chemicals? Thanks!

I just received mine, and it does have a weird odor. It is NOT the same as a typical new yoga mat smell, but closer to sour body odor. It's not strong, but it is very unpleasant. I unboxed it about 10 minutes ago, and the smell does seem to be fading as it airs out, so that is a good sign.

Ok here is my stupid question. which side of the mat do you use. one is smooth and one has ridges? is it just a matter of preference?

I've used it both ways. It seems counterintuitive, but the most stable way to use the mat is with the ridges down so you're standing on the smooth side, grips the floor to stop it from moving.

Is this mat thick enough to do sit ups comfortably? The flooring under the mat would be hard woood.

Yes. The mat is thick and I use it on wood floor for yoga, planks, sit ups, etc.

can this be cut into 1" strips with a knife?

There's not much you can't do with a properly sharpened knife. I do want to caution you, if you're planning an escape from your room at the top of a tower, I'd probably stick with the tried and true approach of tying sheets together...1" strips of foam may not be overly reliable.

Love it

This yoga matt is so nice, at the begining I thought it is very massive and after I like it. One day we were doing yoga outside by the sea and was windy all matts were here and there only mine was on the place, so now I really love it

Thick, Supportive & Worth It — Great for Daily Workouts

Great buy. This mat is exactly as described—extra thick, sturdy, and genuinely comfortable for workouts. The cushioning is excellent for knees and back, it grips well on the floor, and the carry strap makes it easy to tote around. Feels like real value for the price. Definitely worth the price. Highly recommend.

A solid choice for home workouts

Really pleased with this Amazon Basics mat. It arrived neatly boxed and wrapped in plastic — no damage, no creases. The extra thickness (1/2 inch) adds comfort during my workouts or just stretching during cooldowns. What I loved most? It’s longer than the standard mats, which makes a huge difference if you're taller like me or want more space to move freely. Texture is grippy but soft, and the material feels durable. It doesn’t slip or slide, but I’ve only used it on carpet. The included strap is a handy touch for carrying or storage. For the price, this one punches well above its weight. A solid choice for home workouts.
