(More customer reviews)After using less expensive ($20 or so) PVC mats, many students are eager to try a new material: Either PTE (heavier, closed cell, recyclable, biodegradable) or natural rubber.
The current (11/09) Yogamatic product description has a math error. It states that the mat's 5 mm thickness is equivalent to 3/8 inch. The thickness is closer to 3/16 inch. Most 3-4 mm mats are sold as 1/8" and most 6 mm products are sold as 1/4". This mat's 5 mm thickness is about midway between those two standard sizes. (FYI: 3/16 in = 0.1875 in. 5 mm = 0.1969. I.e., 5 mm is very close to 3/16 in, NOT 3/8 in.)
I've used several types, and my experience is that there is no one perfect mat material. However, older students like me usually want a thicker mat for maximal cushioning from hard floors. The reason to pay a premium for this mat is aesthetics--you love the design and have to own it. Note: You may find that the Yogamatic mat is more slippery on the printed side.
P.S.Those wanting to make their regular, unprinted mats more tacky should try this cleaning method. Wash your mat in HOT water using about a cup of vinegar and a few drops of clothes washing detergent (not dish liquid, which is often formulated with oils). You can even use the gentle cycle on some washing machines, but do not put your mat through a spin cycle. Rinse really well in a tub or shower. Press out (without twisting) as much water as possible if your mat has open cell foam. Place on a clothes rack to dry. The tackiness will be restored, and perhaps improved beyond any previous level.

The mat measures 73" x 24" (185cm x 61cm) with a thickness of 3/8" (5mm). The underside is the distinctive YM yellow and features an ultra slip-resistant tread. The topside is a brilliant white to allow the crisp reproduction of the selected artwork with our print process, allowing edge-to-edge reproduction in full color. The top-end of the mat features a branded emboss, your assurance of it being a genuine Yogamatic product.
Unlike many mats that claim to be eco-friendly, our YBRID mat is made from sustainable Natural Rubber (including some recycled content) that can be disposed of without harm to the environment. As a commitment to this policy we incentivize customers with a disposal policy requesting the return of worn mats to our studio by mail. In return we provide FREE shipping of a replacement mat purchased from our site.
Our mat's closed cell surface structure provides superior cushioning. And because it cannot absorb moisture, this results in no bacteria being stored.
Every mat is printed individually to your order in our studios using an ultra high-resolution, proprietary printing system. The flexible Dri-Touch inks are water based and solvent-free, resulting in an odor-free and non-toxic finish.
