Retrospec Laguna 5mm Yoga Mat - Fitness Mat for Women, Men & Children, Slip-Resistant and Moisture Absorbing Exercise Mat for Home, Pilates, Yoga and Floor Workouts

UPDATE: 2/11/22So..... The mat seems to have lost its grip completely. Imagine standing in Warrior II, and both feet are sliding very slowly toward the edges of the mat. Not sure what happened. Maybe poor quality. Or maybe I did too many hot yoga sessions (I average 4-5 a week). It was a really great mat at first, and by far, the best for not slipping all over. So super bummed that I now have to find a new nonslip mat...___________________________Like:-This is, by far, the BEST mat I've found for my sweaty hands. No more slipping in downward facing dog!-The green color is lovely and sort of grounding. Makes me feel like I'm doing yoga on Mother Earth. :)-Thickness is great for my achy knees. I don't have to use a towel as much as I do with other mats.-My pups love it! It's soft and squishy in a way. They enjoy doing savasana with me.Dislike:-The smell is strong and took a couple months of using the mat and airing it out for it to go away.-Best non-slip mat I've found, but goodness, can it show sweat stains! I always feel self-conscious, especially after a hot yoga session, and have to quickly roll up my mat.-This is the heaviest mat I own. People are always surprised when they pick it up. I've gotten used to it. Strength training for my arms! ;)-Alignment lines would be nice, especially for those working on proper hand and foot placement.Would I buy it again? Absolutely! Despite the sweaty stains, I love that I don't have to worry about slipping and can just focus on my alignment. This is my go-to mat for all my warm/hot yoga sessions.

Mixed review for this mat . My favorite mat is a Manduka - it’s the best mat made for the price, warranty and durability. I bought this mat because I was attracted to the cream and neutral colors as they match my bedroom and this was going to be my new yoga corner mat. I like the texture and sturdiness, I don’t slip or slide the the grip is great. However, IT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN. The material it’s made out of makes me believe I cannot clean it with essential oils either. The time frame for me to return this has passed so I have been airing it out outside in the sun on a porch. I wouldn’t be mad if it was rained on. Hopefully it will dull and disappear over time but I can’t even perform a child pose without “huffing fumes”. It’s like plastic off gas or something bizarre.

I do BBG on the sweat app and no matter what sneakers I wore for my mat exercises, they were shredding up my foam yoga mat and making a mess everywhere. I finally decided to research a more sturdy mat which lead me to this one—and it completely fits my needs!! I’d say this is best for at home workouts or something you don’t bring it with you for. It’s quite heavy. And the other negative is the smell! I think it’s going away and will keep washing it. But otherwise—this mat has defied my expectations in terms of durability! Yay!

First off I know it's dumb to buy a used Yoga mat but I didn't want to spend too much and I wanted high quality so I took the risk. Nothing against this mat, I actually think it's a perfect mat for me. It's very long but not as quite as wide as my old mat. If it gets wet, it dries clean and doesn't leave marks. My gripe is that the description said it was in like new condition but the packaging was damaged. That is not the case. This thing was road hard and put away wet so to speak. I've been trying to flatten out the creases for a week now by stacking heavy flat objects on it and it's still not laying flat. One crease in particular looks like it'll never go away. It didn't come rolled up but folded in what I'm guessing was not the original package. It was very dirty. Like someone used this every day for a month and then returned it dirty. I spent a lot of time cleaning it and there were a bunch of shoe prints on it that came off. Overall I'd recommend this mat new but buying a used mat as most people would suspect has turned out to be a regrettable adventure in trying to save $20. The thing is there was another one that was used, same price, same seller I think and it said it wasn't in great condition so I chose the one that said like new only packaging damaged. Well, maybe they got switched. I dunno.

So I actually bought this to use for a photoshoot, but I also have used it personally as well. I like the warm neutral color, but it does show dirt really easily. And like other reviews, you'll be able to see sweat on the mat. I don't do intense enough poses to start sweating, but I did use a wet rag to clean a dirt spot off the mat and the water soaked right into the mat. It did dry out and the spot faded luckily. The texture has a good grip but it's also pretty slick at the same time. I can imagine if you're doing hot yoga or pilates and sweating a lot, it might become slippery. It also has a funky smell but it's not too bad. Mostly just smells like a strong rubber. Overall, for the price, it seems like a decent mat. I wasn't expecting it to feel the way it did for the price I paid.

This yoga mat is absolutely gorgeous & totally fits my neutral toned aesthetic! It’s exactly what I was looking for as far as color & comfort! HOWEVER, just like other reviews mention, the mat smells terrible. I unrolled it and let it air out before going to a yoga class, but the smell was still there. I figured it would go away within a few uses but it hasn’t. I almost feel embarrassed of the smell when I have to unroll it at my yoga classes. I just ordered a yoga mat cleaner to see if that will help. I will update my review once I’ve done that! On another note, the mat is comfortable, sturdy, and hot yoga approved! I don’t slip and slide all over the mat even when I’m sweating. My only complaints are (1) the smell and (2) sweat takes a while to fully dry off so you can see sweat marks while you’re doing yoga. It eventually dries, though.

I enjoy doing Pilates and stretching. This mat prevents me for sliding which is pretty common using other mats. It is true, the mat does have an odor, but it doesn’t bother me at all. I only smell it when lying face down on the mat. It does collect sweat marks and pet hair, but I use a towel with soap and water to wipe down the mat after each use. My favorite mat by far and worth the price.

Mucha gente decía que olía feo, avinagrado. No es cierto.A lo mucho huele como a llantera pero es súper ligero el aroma y no huele a podrido ni sucio, solo a plástico.Sí, las gotas de sudor se quedan como una manchita qué no se quita pero hasta ahora, no ha sido un problema, y en realidad, era de esperarse.No me resbalo nada, completamente antiderrapante, se estira y no se queda curvo como otros.Eso sí, es muy pesado, pero al menos para mi no es un problema ya qué no lo ando cargando de un lado a otro y si tuviera que hacerlo tampoco sería el fin del mundo.

Es verdaderamente antiderrapante, sólo por eso vale toda la pena. Había leído las reseñas previas antes de comprarlo, así que sabía que llega con un olor muy fuerte, el cual se le quita si la primera semana no lo enrollas y de preferencia lo dejas al sol. Es verdad también que se mancha con facilidad. Yo lo limpio cada vez que lo uso y se está conservando razonablemente bien, no impecable.

Excelente mat de Yoga, al inicio lo sentí un poco grande pero llevo ya 1 mes usandolo y es una delicia, no sé mueve, es super cómodo, el color hueso es hermoso y si bien se ensucia rápido también se limpia muy rápido. Gracias, sin duda volvería a comprar con esta marca

Me gusto el tamaño y comose siente al hacer ejercicio, lo unico malo es que se mancha con elsudor y nose quita!!!! se que es un color claro pero desde la primer usada queda manchado!

Muy bien cumple mis expectativas de antiderrapante y no lastima las rodillas y el olor que tenía desaparecio en unos días dejándolo asoleandose varios días solo que el color es muy limpio hay que estar aseandolo seguido cuando compre otro será de un color obscuro
