5 comments about Valeo Foam Exercise Mat.

1. I normally order the Valeo Foam Mats from Amazon and always have been pleased with the shipment and they way the mats are packed. But this time, I have to say I'm disappointed. The mats are normally encased in plastic but this time, no plastic to protect the mats and therefore the ends of the mats were all flipped up, bent and creased. Not acceptable. Please bring back the plastic covering to protect the mats from damage.



2. Good exercise mat, but it has a very strong rubber smell. My apartment isn't big, so the place reeked of rubber for a while.



3. It's a good mat and is comfortable to lie or kneel on. There are velcro ties at one end to help keep it neat and tidy when not in use. It seems to unroll well and lie fairly flat but as it's only 6ft long it might be a bit short for anyone moderately tall.



4. This mat is great for any exercise or stretching that has you on your back or sitted position. Wouldn't use it for any movement exercise a running in place etc.



5. It works just fine for what I do - which involves mostly ab routines. It does roll up on the ends, but you can just turn it around and eventually will straighten up like mine did.

5 comments about Swimways Baby Spring Float Sun Canopy.

1. I recently got this floatie for my 8 months old. He floats without any support which is great! (of course, I'm right there beside him) I tried floating him in Aqua Leisure learn to swim 123 tube and it didn't work - my son kept slouching forward and had his head in the water unless I supported him upright(which was very exhausting for me). My son is cautious and not very brave, so he hasn't tried climbing out of it. May be he will try to climb out when he's more grown up, but for the time being, kit's working great for us. I highly recommend it!!



2. I bought this for my 5 and a half month old baby. This product is intended for 9 months and older so I kept a good watch and actually held her while in the float because she was too small for it. Even though she was too small we found that if we put her in, and laid her back so her feet were sort of floating she was good, however, still would not stay far from her. The shade works great. I can't wait for her to be big enough to fit in it properly. This item has excellent reviews and that is why I bought it, and I would 100% suggest it.



3. This float is perfect for an infant. My daughter is 4 months old and I plan to start her swimming lessons at 6 months. I wanted something to get her familiar with the water. This flaot is perfect. She cannot sit up, so she just reclines on the back air pad. She absolutely loves it and was laughing and playing in the water. The water only came up to her chest so I was not worried about her falling forward into the water. The sun shade is perfect too with all of its ways to adjust. I highly recommend this toy.



4. The best solution when you want to enjoy the pool and you have a baby!!! I have a 7 month old and I was getting bored splashing with him in the kiddie pool (more like a puddle really lol) cause I wasn't able to enjoy the big pool myself. With this floatie, we can both be in the water at the same time! The canopy is AWESOME for outdoor pools. You can adjust it in 3 positions so your little one is always comfortable (I do apply sunscreen just to be on the safe side). Whoever invented this is a genius! This thing is an absolute lifesaver!!!



5. We bought this on vacation so our 7 month old son could swim with all of us (aunts, uncles, cousins). He loved it. We would put floating toys on the mesh that he could chew and play with. When he wanted to he figured out how to move use his legs to swim around. We loved it so much we packed it up and brought it home with us. Great buy in my opinion.

5 comments about Coleman Red Canyon 17-Foot by 10-Foot 8-Person Modified Dome Tent.

1. been on 2 camping trips and the tent is fantastic, especially for $99 (free prime shipping for me).
   
   The sides do slope in, but still plenty of room.
   
   the tent fits easily into the bag, but you have to fold it correctly and take out the air.
   
   - lay it flat, fold the ends towards the middle to make a rectangle. fold it lengthwise into thirds. fold again lenthwise in half. place the rods at one end and roll to the other end.
   
   That should do it. those that complain about the bag size just aren't folding correctly. you have to be patient as the air comes out while rolling.



2. Took the tent out for a test run at a KOA camp ground. It took about twenty minutes to set up with no problems. It rained and the wind blew thru out the night and there were no leaks and the tent did not shake to much. Plenty of room inside for my wife and two kids. Since it was raining we set inside with lawn chairs and watched tv comfortable. would recommend this tent.



3. I bought this tent several weeks ago and used it last weekend for camping in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Overall I am happy with it... Assembly was quick, the directions were easy to follow.
   There is a good amount of usable floor space. We had plenty of room with three air matresses, space for clothes and other items. There is a mesh pouch that installs at the peak and I liked it because it was easy to tell at a glance if your small items were there. One drawback I see is that the screen windows at the ends are only covered by the fly, the only way to "seal" them is to lower the fly so it rests on them. There was no rain on our trip so no feedback on how well it stood up. I would recommend this tent.



4. I have had this tent for 2 seasons. It has been used for several weeks each summer. This year the tent has been up for 2 1/2 months straight. Other than it has faded abit from the sun it is still in great condition. It is very waterproof! It is great for summer camping with the netting at the top to vent out the summer heat. It is very roomy! I would highly recommend and it is a great tent for the price! It is very easy to set up, especially if there are 2 of you!



5. I am profoundly disappointed, especially considering I really like this tent!
   
   We bought one for a camping weekend and after setting it up we noticed that there is a small tear in the seam right next to the door.
   
   To their credit, when we returned I submitted an exchange request and Amazon shipped a new one out right away.
   
   We took that camping the next weekend, set it up and found the EXACT same tear in the new one.
   
   In short, we LOVE the room shape of this tent! We easily fit a queen air matress, a twin air mattress and a pack 'n' play in this tent with plenty of room to move. We stayed nice and dry and never felt cramped.
   
   If it weren't for the quality of the seams (all around the tent they look very weak) I would give this tent 5 stars. The only reason I give it 2 instead of one is because of the overall shape.
   
   We're currently boxing up both to return, and commend Amazon for a great return policy. We're shopping for a similar tent in a similar price range that will actually last beyond the setup!

2 comments about 2 Pack 4 inches x 9 inches x 6 inches Yoga Blocks - Saver Pack.

1. I am a beginning yoga teacher and bought several of these blocks for my small, non-studio classes. I am a big proponent of using blocks and after 10 years of practice use them regularly - moreso than at the beginning when I somehow thought blocks were a sign of weakness!
   These specific blocks are quite good. they feel very firm and sturdy in all flat hand applications. they "give" a little and are left with an imprint if you are on your fingertips or all the weight is on the heel of your hand. the imprint disappears pretty quickly. They aren't spongy at all.



2. There's not a whole lot you can say about a couple of blocks. These are well made with a very strong, yet soft material. If you've used blocks in class, then you know the advantage of these blocks. If you haven't, and you have trouble holding certain poses, these blocks are invaluable. These arrived promptly, well packaged. There was absolutely no odor that some have commented on. They have great stability and strength (enough to sit on 1 on it's end) yet they have a nice give when you are using them for you hands on the floor.

5 comments about Coleman Queen-Sized Quickbed with Wrap 'N' Roll Storage.

1. Leaked till flat on the hard, cold, tent floor middl eof the night, of course. After reading more recent reviews here I think these latest models have some issues. I would buy another brand. Until it leaked though it was a great alternative to theramrests for car campling, but 10 times use is a waste of time and materials. We also tried to reapir the leak without success.



2. We bought two coleman air beds. One Queen size and the other twin size. Both are of poor quality. Queen one - two gone now. after first one's air leakage, we tried to return it but there was no return policy on that. Only replacement was entertained, so we got stuck with it and got a replacement. The second one has air leak now. Customer service is also very poor, nearly 45 mins of wait time and no response. I did not expect this from a company like Coleman. I don't know what to do other than putting it in trash. Twin one - first one was replaced due to the same reason as above. Have to wait and see when that will reach the same state.



3. The first night the mattress lost some air, the second night I was on the floor in 4 hours. I checked all around with soapy water, the valve seemed OK and could not find a leak. However, it lost air just sitting around so I tossed it out. What a waste! I have an older one(green) which is still great, but too narrow. This one has thinner PVC and is made in China. I am going to TRY to find a brand not made in China. RIGHT!



4. I don't know if its a bad batch or what but within 3 hours of inflation it needs to be topped off again. This is with no weight on it at all. I returned that one for another and the same issue.



5. Boought this item for a family camp out. It was pretty easy to fill with air. Held air all week long without any problems. When tear down started it was easy to roll up and put in the roll storage that is attached to it.

5 comments about YogaAccessories 1/4" Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat.

1. Fine for casual yoga, stretching or exercises. I would have liked maybe a bit thicker mat if I did yoga regularly.



2. Seems pretty good on my wood floors. Doesn't slip. Only thing is that it did have some smell when i opened it. Had to wash it and let it hang outside for a couple days to get rid of.



3. We bought a pair of these mats for use with P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program - 13 DVDs, Nutrition Guide, Exercise Planner, in particular Ab Ripper X, Yoga X, and Plyometrics. They've worked perfectly.
   
   These mats are extra long, so more of your body can be on the mat. They're very thick with dense cushioning, which is great for your wrists during tough Yoga moves and back during ab moves. They're durable and will clearly last a long time. The grip is great without being too tacky, so you don't feel like your hands are sliding during downward dog.
   
   We don't have the Manduka BlackMatPRO 71-Inch Yoga and Pilates Mat to compare this mat to (the Manduka mat is the "price is no object" Rolls Royce of Yoga mats), but given the immense price difference, this mat will do for us.



4. I've been practicing yoga for over a year a few times a week. I researched several mats and settled on this one for the good reviews and low price. Its a fine mat. No smell as others have reported and if folds out just fine. My hands do not slip during down dog as others have reported. I was prepared to lay it out for a few days to rid the mat of the smell and I didn't notice a smell from day one. I bought a black one that is great in that it looks sleek all the time. The thickness is fabulous and the extra length is an bonus as well. For the money, who can beat it?



5. My husband and I use this mat for P90X and it is perfect for the workouts we do. I don't know much about yoga, so I can't comment on how this mat would work for for someone who does yoga regularly, but for P90X it does everything we need it to. It's not too "sticky" and it's not too "slippery".
   
   It did have a strange smell to it when it first arrived. Like other posters suggested, I let it air out for a day or so before I used it and the smell is almost totally gone. I can still smell it when I roll or unroll the mat, but not during workouts.

5 comments about Aurorae Yoga Mat - Ultra Thick, Extra Long with Focal Point Icon and Illuminating colors that define your Inner Self. SGS approved Free from Phthalates.

1. The thing I loved most about this mat is that it is extra long. I may have to share this lovely mat with my husband and he is 6 foot 3 inches tall. The mat has a focal point at one end that helps when trying to hold your balance. It is also free of phlathates, which is nice to know considering how much time you spend laying on top of it. Provided great cushioning on my hard tile floor!
   
   Disclaimer: I received this item at no charge as part of my review, however all opinions expressed here are mine and mine alone!



2. The yoga mat arrived in the mail on time and in great condition. The color is true to what is pictured on Amazon's site and the mat is a very nice product. Sturdy and exactly what I was looking for. Even more impressive...the seller sent me an email after sending me the package on how to care for the yoga mat so I can get the best use out of it. Now THAT is customer service. One of my girlfriend's saw the mat at my place and is planning on ordering the pink one now. I also plan on ordering more products from Aurorae. What a great company!



3. Aurorae Yoga Mat - Ultra Thick, Extra Long with Focal Point Icon and Illuminating colors that define your Inner Self. SGS approved Free from Phthalates
   
   I purchased the Infinity, Solar and Violet ultra thick, extra long yoga mats; one for me, one as a gift and one for one of a yoga student. We're all very, very pleased with them. No strong smell, beautiful colors and just the right thickness, length and griping surface. I highly recommend this quality, affordable mat. The extra long length is very helpful as well.



4. I have the Violet mat and I love it! It's way longer and thicker than my old yoga mat. I don't use it for yoga. I'm doing kettleworx and it consist of doing a lot of lying on my back. This mat really gives me a lot of extra support and cushion on my back. It does not gives me back pain! It's also very easy to clean. It's machine washable. I definitely recommend it!



5. This mat was REALLY slick...too slick to do yoga on. It came with instructions to make it less slick, suggesting to wash it in hot water. That did nothing, as did the rest of the steps. I rubbed rosin on it, which also had no effect. It's totally useless. I wish I'd bought a mat from Hugger Mugger.

5 comments about Yogitoes Skidless Premium Mat-Size Yoga Towel.

1. After reading reviews, I decided Yogitoes sounded like the best brand to buy. I've now used my mat towel for hot yoga and it's wonderful, absorbing sweat, staying in place and not bunching up like regular towels.



2. This is the first yoga towel I've purchased, always relying on bath towel until now. I have to say, it is amazing! It doesn't slide and I can focus on what I'm there to do... yoga! In fact, I'm buying more right now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.



3. I ordered the Mat Sized Towel and received a hand towel. Beware when ordering!



4. I held off on buying a Yogitoes for a long time. I saw lots of other Yogis and Yoginis using them, but it just seemed really expensive for basically a towel. Well I kept having problems slipping on my mat, so I finally went for it and man, it's been great so far. Slipping problems are gone. I don't even have to wet it down, like so many people do. My body heat and the heat in most yoga classrooms, my own sweat, all these create plenty of friction and I have not had any problem slipping on it.
   
   I also like that it extends the life of my mat. My mat was beginning to tear up down at my feet, and so far it seems like the Yogitoes will really extend the life of my mat.
   
   Occasionally I need to reach down and straighten it out here and there, but nothing major, really not much of a problem.
   
   I got the moss color and like it.
   
   The only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is I haven't had it long enough to see how durable it is, but so far it looks and seems pretty durable after a few uses.



5. This towel has stopped me from sliding off my map during a vigorous flow class. Because my mat is not wet and slippery, the yoga experience is much more enjoyable. It air dries quickly.

5 comments about Harbinger 340100 Durafoam Exercise Mat 3/8" x 24" x 72" (Black).

1. I purchased this mat for P90X after realizing my carpet wasn't padded enough. So far, it has been perfect. At first it seemed a little thin, but has provided me with enough extra padding to be comfortable (or as comfortable as you can be with P90X). There was no trace of any odor coming from the mat, so I don't know if previous posts were a bad batch or something that spilled on them or what, but mine is odor free. If you need a little extra padding for comfort, I would recommend this mat, especially for the price.



2. I love this mat... It's lightweight, easy to tote because of the velcro straps around it, and VERY comfortable. It is exactly what I was looking for, nice and thick- my back hurts when it presses into the floor when I'm doing my ab workout, but I haven't had any problems since purchasing this mat. I would buy it again if I needed another one, and would recommend it to my friends. Also, in regards to a smell- unless you are pressing your nose into the mat, there is no distinct smell at all... And even when you are in a position where your face is close to it, the smell isn't strong enough to be bothersome.



3. Very comfortable and rolls and stores easy. The black color is impossible to keep clean.



4. Nice soft cushion, but the mat stretches when you use it for certain exercises. When doing push-ups, for example, your hands stretch the mat away from your feet out of the intended position. Many exercises and yoga moves are more difficult on the mat because of the stretching. The mat also slides around on hard floors too easily for my tastes.



5. The cushioning on this mat is great, I could even sleep on this thing. There is a slight chemical smell but hey, for the price and the quality of this thing, I don't really care. It's really easy to fold and easy to clean. 5 Stars

5 comments about Bean Products Yoga Mat 1/4" Extra Thick High Density 72" Length - Clean PVC (TM) Phthalate Free PER.

1. Used primarily for stretching in my room after running. Very comfortable and durable. I am 6-feet tall and can use this mat very well.



2. I am very happy with the thickness of this mat & also the length as I'm tall.. But I feel its not wide enough(i'm not fat!). It doesn't smell(maybe very little)but after few days you cant smell anything. So overall I'm quite satisfied with this.



3. Ordered the hot pink mat, good price, nice color and don't have the smell problem at all. Its a good buy!



4. This is a great mat--probably just as good as some of the more expensive ones. I bought the lilac purple one and it's a really soothing color. I love it, it's really comfortable and rolls out nicely after the first few uses. It also doesn't have that weird rubber small that some mats have. Love it!



5. This mat is nice and thick, not like the cheap thin ones you find everywhere that hardly even pad the ground underneath you. However, it still rolls up into a small cylinder. Very soft, good grip, and a great price!
