This is THE BEST Yoga Mat I’ve ever used 🙂
I began practicing yoga 3 times a week 10 months ago, and being a beginner I thought a yoga mat was simply a yoga mat. I could see that they came in different colors and graphic designs, but I really had no idea about the many different *kinds* of mats, and how that collectively, a wide range of various features/combined characteristics affecting actual *functionality* existed: Things like the material, ie. foam, PVC, rubber, recycled diver wetsuits, etc. – then density, thickness, firmness, texture, “grip” factor, the size, durability, weight, etc…and how each of these play an underlying significant role in your yoga practice.So for the first 2 1/2 months, I was using a very thin, light, slightly textured but cheap ($10 to $12), yoga mat.Although there were times that my sweat caused it to become slippery (and in some postures that felt really sketchy: the feeling that my hands or feet could slip out from under me at any moment), but I didn’t know what I didn’t know and thought, “Hey, slippery-when-wet is normal, just be careful!” That is…until I bought a course on UDEMY.com titled “Movement Foundations: For Mastering the Yoga Basic” – by Kendra Hill. There, right in the beginning in chapter 1, she talks about the variety of factors that make up a “yoga mat”, and how vitally important having the right mat is, to your practice. Everything she explained was an insightful revelation that made total sense. After all, everything we yogis do is on our mats, right? So if a mat doesn’t best support and serve us, it could lead to a serious injury (as a result of a sudden slip) or facilitate ongoing problem (like lack of steadiness in a balance pose, because of being over soft or spongy). As Kendra shared, these are a couple of the things I realized…which set me on a quest to find the ideal yoga mat!Right about that time (February 2019), I decided to get into yoga more full-time and signed up for daily “unlimited” classes per month at a local yoga center. Lo and behold, it was stocked with a collection of different kinds of mats for members to use! So for 5-6 days a week over the next several weeks, I tried different ones and asked the teachers and other members about their own personal mats: What made them choose it? What was it they liked about it? or maybe didn’t like? How much did it cost? Where did they get it? Etc.Armed with a new understanding and experience on different yoga mats ( note: a yoga mat, isn’t simply a yoga mat – it affects everything!)… I felt like I had a really clear idea of what type of mat would be ideal, and that, I needed to have:A) Safety First –> so a mat that could handle getting wet with sweat, yet remain highly slip-free and “grip” dependable.B) Comfortable –> Not too soft/thick = spongy = wobbleness/instability in balance poses, etc… But not too thin either = sense of near direct contact with a hard floor or ground = soreness in the sit bones, knees, other joints/boney areas of the body. Also, non-abrasive. The *safest* mat I’d tried so far was made of recycled diver wetsuit material. Although the material was very durable and had a strong grip factor, it felt abrasive to me and might even cause “road rash” during certain movements.C) Affordable –> I wanted the best, ideal, most excellent mat I could find. But some of the ones going over $100 that some yogis have, was like “hmmm…maybe not, maybe there’s something out there better for less. Let me look!!”So I went searching on Amazon, and guess what I found? The PLYOPIC Ultra-Grip Yoga Mat! :-)Honestly, I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews on this product, because it not only met, but exceeded my ABC criteria. How?2 Things –>> #1. The mat provides excellent grip and firm support (in 7 months of use 5-7 times a week and a lot of sweat, I’ve *never* once felt like I was going to slip). But somehow, the top is absolutely flat and smooth. There’s no uneven or worse, abrasive texture at all. Remarkably, it actually feels very soft to the touch, sort of like velvet or brushed suade. So it’s super sure and grippy, yet very gentle on your skin and body… and it does it without being over thick-soft and spongy. How PLYOPIC does this is pretty trick! #2. It has a Centerline, embossed on the top. One other “revelation” Kendra talks about in her Udemy course is the importance of body/structural alignment thru the 3 dimensional planes of movement. Having a mat with a centerline, lined up parallel with other visual cues in the practice space (in this case, ceiling beams overhead, hardwood floor seams, perpindicular window sills, vertical closet frames, etc.)…and knowing how to correlate these (like geometric reference points) as you move from one posture into another, makes a *Huge* beneficial difference in how confident and sure you execute each movement. Having a centerline for reference enables you to accurately observe your alignment, stacking, etc. and more importantly recognize *the feeling* when you have it precisely right, or, make the necessary correction when it’s not quite there until it is. In other words, your practice becomes much more empowered and gratifying, all by having a centerline on your mat. It’s quite amazing actually!Okay, so what are the drawbacks? Are there any? Well, the PLYOPIC Mat *is* made of rubber…so like others mention, it does have a noticable rubber smell when you first get it. How long that lasts I think depends on what each user does with it. When I first got mine, I started using it immediately. But each time before and after, I slung it over a wooden curtain rod in my open-air garage to let the flow of fresh air “flush out” the rubber smell. Within about 10 days it went from being quite noticable (up close) to barely being noticable. Then it became non-existent. So yeah, I’d say that’s about the strongest drawback. But if you can put up with it for a little bit, you’ll be fine.If there’s any other possible drawback to consider, I’d say it’s the weight. Rubber is generally denser and a little heavier than other popular mat material. On the other hand, it’s also a lot more durable. That’s why tires are made out of rubber yeah? 😉 So it’s a give n’ take: If for example, a person goes to yoga class bringing a lot of other stuff, they may not want to carry that little extra weight everytime. But being that your mat, is your #1 essential piece and everything else (other than possibly drinking water) is secondary, I think the PLYOPIC Ultra-Grip Yoga Mat is definitely worthy of any yogi’s consideration. It may not be the lightest, or even the prettiest (having other colors besides black/grey would be nice) but it’s definitely Super Safe and Functional! That’s what I think ~ Cheers 🙂

I already love itâ¦
Iâve been practicing yoga for about 10 years, and Iâve tried a handful of mats thought out that time. The one mat that I have always gravitated to was a dry grip mat from the big âG-â brand. What I like about that mat is that it has a smooth texture and my hands and feed never slip. The grip only gets better with sweat. The problem with that mat is that it is made with PVC material, which I know is not good for you/is considered toxic.So, I recently began a search for another new mat. Lot of people talk big about the âL-â brand mat, but Iâve read many reviews that say that mat does not last over time. For something that costs upwards of $150, Iâd expect it to last a lifetime, so that one was out. I tried a cork mat, but my hands and feet slipped when they were dry. Itâs crucial to me that I have a solid foundation during practice.I came across this Plyopic mat during my search, and was thrilled to see it has a smooth textured top, is made with natural rubber, and has the alignment lines (while I said Iâve been practicing for 10 years, it has not been consistent, so alignment lines are a perk I was hoping for in my future mat).I gave the Plyopic mat a try as soon as it arrived, and Iâm so happy with it already! It is very much like my other favorite mat without the nasty PVC. Itâs slightly thinner, but that didnât seem to be an issue when testing it out. With time I will know more about whether it will be a problem. Iâm happy to know that Plyopic has a â+â version that is thicker, so I could always go that route later down the road if necessary.The natural rubber does make this a heftier mat to carryâ¦fortunately for me, I practice at home, so that shouldnât be an issue. There is a smell like others have mentioned. I wiped it down with a cleaning solution and put it in my garage to hopefully dissipate the smell. Weâll see.Overall, very happy with this purchase! Iâm so glad I came across it because the price is comparable to the âG-â brand mat and significantly less expensive than the âL-â brand mat.UPDATE:After trying out the mat for an actual practice, I can confirm that this thing is super sticky, even without being in a heavy sweat, because when I moved it moved with me lol. Honestly, Iâm so happy I stumbled across this mat. Lastly, after spraying it down with mat cleaner and letting it air out in my garage for 24 hours, the rubber smell is still slightly there but definitely isnât unbearable, and it doesnât have that weird fishy smell to it anymore.

No slip
Love my mat. Itâs pretty and you donât slip no matter how much sweats on it and in hot yoga you know how much you can sweat. Only thing is when i fist got it i got black stuff on my nails idk what thatâs all about but id still recommend getting it.

perfect for hard floors
This is the mat you’re looking for if you have hard floors and are tired of the usual foam mats sliding and stretching all over the place.This thing is heavy and stays put. Also if you are a sweaty person like me, you won’t slide all over the mat during sessions. Feels safe and stable.The cushioning is not great, so if you will be doing a lot of poses that put pressure on knees or other sensitive areas, you may need an extra foam layer.As other reviews have noted, yes it does smell rubbery. When you receive it, open the package, unroll it, and leave it to offgas (preferably outside or in a garage or other out of the way area) for /several days/. It will still have a faint odor but it is made of rubber after all. For me it’s worth it to feel secure and stable.

Better than cheap ones.
Let me start by saying, it’s wintertime. It’s dry. And I wash or sanitize my hands over 100x per day. I see more lines on my hands than streets in New york! My feet have never slipped. My hands slil slowly. I don’t anticipate having problems with this in the summer when humidity is over 30%. Overall I’m happy! Very slight smell to mat. Not enough to distract me from yoga practice.

Entraînement programme sur le Net. Le tapis ne glisse pas et adhère bien. Par contre il est un peu mince pour certains exercices qui demande d’être sur genoux ou sur les hanches.

La verdad es que buscaba una esterilla antideslizante y esta cumple este requisito a la perfección. Otra ventaja es que no toma forma y se queda en contacto con el suelo. Quizás la única pega que le pueda poner es que es un poco más pesada de lo habitual, pero yendo a hacer ejercicio, tampoco es un problema muy importante.

Die Matte riecht am Anfang stark; das gibt sich aber mit der Zeit. Sie lag am Anfang gut auf dem Boden und hatte ordentlich Grip. Auch das lässt leider mit der Zeit nach. Zudem ist die Matte sehr schmutzanziehend und -anhaftend. Ich muss sie nach jeder Nutzung feucht abwischen, obwohl wir hier täglich saugen und keine Tiere haben. Die Dicke und Dämpfung ist super. Ich werde aber wohl weiter nach der für mich richtigen Matte suchen müssen.Ergänzende Bewertung zum Service: Der Service hat 5 Sterne verdient, da auf meine Bewertung sofort eine Reaktion kam und die Ware nun völlig unkompliziert reklamiert wird. Lieben Dank dafür.

Avendo iniziato a praticare regolarmente yoga, ho capito l’importanza dell’avere un buon tappetino che non ti faccia scivolare mani e piedi. Dopo varie ricerche online ho trovato questo tappetino che premetteva resistenza e caratteristiche come le marche più blasonate ma con un costo ben minore.Ho comprato questo tappetino piacendomi anche perchè:* “IGIENICO E PER IL CORPO – Realizzato con materiali di altissima qualità bio-consapevoli e vegani, senza PVC e altre sostanze nocive”: è importante per noi (che ci sudiamo sopra!) e per l’ambiente (meno sprechi e materiali migliori)* “COMFORT MIGLIORATO E ALLINEAMENTO DEL CORPO – Migliora il tuo equilibrio e la tua stabilità in qualsiasi posizione con una densa base di gomma antiscivolo che afferra saldamente il pavimento e offre un supporto ammortizzato alle tue articolazioni.” : le linee guida sono di notevole aiuto, specialmente quelle in diagonale e la linea mezzana. Il grip è veramnete altissimo: sia del tappetino al pavimento sia del corpo su di esso…mi sento molto tranquilla ad affrontare anche quelle asana in equilibrio sapendo di essere ben salda al terreno.* “i nostri tappetini sono costruiti con una robusta base in gomma naturale con uno strato di feltro imbottito tra questo e lo strato superiore del tappetino.”: durante le asana sedute si è stabili e comodi anche per tempi prolungati, in quelle con il ginocchio appoggiato non ho necessità di un pad aggiuntivo.*”Peso articolo:â2,5 Kilograms”: è ottimo e non risulta così pesante.Arrivato nei tempi stabiliti, con la sola sua scatola rettangolare che è stata schiaccita nelle varie fasi di trasposto ma non è stata persa comunque la cinghia aggiuntiva al suo interno.Il prodotto aveva un lieve sentore di gomma che però è sparito dopo poche ore steso all’aria senza i raggi diretti del sole,come viene raccomandato per ogni tappetino.Non noto differenze così sostanziali da giustificare il prezzo raddoppiato dei altri marchi e credo che il suo costo sia il migliore in assoluto valutando tutte queste caratteristiche positive.Lo consiglio, quindi, a pieni voti!V.
