4 comments about Hugger Mugger Earth Elements Eco Exercise/Yoga Mat 10mm (72-Inch, Midnight).
- Pros- I bought this mat for yoga class, but it would work well for pilates, too. The thickness (which is actually 3/8") is wonderful for preventing pain in my knees, hips and wrists. Not the best for balancing poses, of course, but I've always stepped off even the thinnest mats for balancing. I am 5' 7" and the extra few inches of length really make a difference. I don't have to adjust as often to keep my whole body on the mat.
Cons- Can get a little slippery if it gets wet, although this seems to be happening less the more I use it. Still, this mat might not work for you if you sweat heavily. It doesn't lay totally flat on the end you first roll up, so you have to unroll it and then flip it over so it won't curl up while you're using it. It smelled a bit strong at first, but I just gave it rub down with a dilute blend of Mrs. Meyers all-purpose cleaner and water and then left it unrolled for a few days in a well-ventilated area. It took about 2 weeks for the smell to dissipate completely.
Overall I'm very happy with this mat. Many people in class have asked me where I bought it. I will update this review after several months of regular use with regard to durability. Right now it's too early to tell how well it will hold up.
- This mat is perfect for me. The 10mm thickness provides the cushion that I need for my ankles, back, and knees. I also love that it is decomposable, recyclable, does not absorb moisture, is toxic-free, hypoallergenic, and wipes clean with a mild solution of soap and water. Very much worth the price.
- When I first bought this mat I loved it. After a year of use the mat started to shrink in spots and buckle. It has become so bad that I had to abandon it because it would not flatten out and it became difficult to execute balancing poses. I contacted the company explaining the situation and sent a picture. They told me that the mat was designed to be biodegradable and would break down under some conditions and environments. If you expect your yoga mat to last, then look at other products.
- I had a this mat for about a year.
Positive
1. I do like the thickness/extra padding with it
2. Biodegradable is good for the environment
Negative
1. Tends to flex in wide legged poses.
2. Biodegradable has its price, I leave my mat to in the car and I live in Southern California. Heat and direct sunlight WILL destroy it. I didn't realize this and now its pretty much done for.
If you are careful with it I give it 4 stars but since many people will not be I have to give it 3 stars.

2 comments about Coleman Self-Inflating Mat with Pillow.
- I've just bought this mat, used it for two nights and I really slept as if I was at home. It's anything but portable, so I would really won't recomend it for backpacking-camping. On the other side, if you are going to a camp site on your jeep or truck it's something you should have. The pilow has an independent valve, so you may inflate it untill you fill it confortable.
- This is a very high quality pad. Solid and durable. It is NOT as comfortable as it appears in the image. I wish it was thicker, I will probably need to buy something else to use with it. It does fit a camp cot very well.

- These products are just brilliant for Bikram Yoga. No more scrabbling about between asanas wasting energy and loosing focus. Light weight and dry very quickly. the hand towel just the right size to grab for a rub down during the water breaks.

2 comments about Set of 6 High-Impact Mats- Gray.
- I purchased the Impex mat system to place under my squat rack. Everything is as it should be...quality mats, easy to assemble.
- The mats give you a decent workout area. Otherwise, there is nothing special about it.

2 comments about Music Monkey Set Girl - Sleeping Bag & Jumbo Pillow.
- This sleeping bag my daughets loves. The pillow matches it perfectly. Thie zipper is not too strong and I wouldn't have my daughter sleep out in the cold with it, but it is a good sleeping bag for sleepovers with her friends.
Price was good and shipping was prompt.
- Shipping was extraordinary! My niece just loved the whole set, especially the pillow!
I was a little disappointed in the quality of the sleeping bag; it is certainly like a light blanket, that's all, but it is still appropriate for inside sleep-overs.
