Retrospec Solana Yoga Mat 1/2" Thick with Nylon Strap for Men and Women, Non Slip Exercise Mat for Yoga, Pilates, Stretching, Floor, Fitness, Workout

This mat is so comfortable! It’s thick and while working out I didn’t have any pain. The other mats that I have used in the past did not help, but after using this mat I didn’t feel any pain. The only drawback is the strong smell that it has. I have used it for two weeks and it continues to smell.

Exactly as it looks in the picture. Perfect mat for working out. Thick enough so if you have bad knees it will provide protection.

It does have a weird smell, like fishy smell once opened from the package. But the smell gradually faded in later days. It’s very light in weight, yet very thick and soft. Great for abs workout. No pressure felt on the tailbone when doing crunches nor elbows when doing plank. It’s also non slip. The mat also comes with the strap which I can then hang the mat for storage when not used. It does leave dent mark on the mat after first use. However, that doesn’t really affect much other than the look.

I was looking for a new yoga mat because I have multiple injuries and needed something with extra cushion, and this one absolutely fit the bill. It is true to size and actually has a full 1 inch thickness, which makes a big difference. I am much more comfortable now when doing yoga and floor exercises. The included carrying strap works well and makes it easy to store, although once it is rolled up, it is noticeably larger in diameter than a standard yoga mat, but that is expected with the extra thickness. The only downside is that it had a very strong chemical odor when I first unpackaged it. I would definitely recommend letting it air out outside if you can. I did not have outdoor space, so I left it in a separate room with the door closed, and the smell faded after about a day. If you are sensitive to chemical smells, just be prepared for that part. Other than that, it has been great. Supportive, cushioned, and exactly what I needed.

Very nice, thick and comfy. I like that it stays in place and doesn’t move around
