Primasole Folding Yoga Travel Pilates Mat Foldable Easy to Carry to Class Beach Park Tear resistant Travel Picnics 4mm Thick 9 Colors by primasole

This actually wasn’t my first choice for a travel mat, but it was the only one that would arrive overnight to the hotel where I was staying. It’s perfect for a travel mat! It’s not the lightest weight one (which is why it was my second choice), but it’s still way lighter than the mat I use at home. It’s a decent thickness to provide some padding, and if it’s not enough you could always use it on top of a beach towel or something for additional padding. For me, the main thing is grippiness. I thought I could just do yoga anywhere but I tried it in the hotel room on a beach towel and it was terrible, because my hands and feet kept slipping in poses like down dog. This mat has great grip, and really I think that’s the main thing you need to do yoga anywhere. It folds up so it’s easy to throw in your carryon bag, which a rolled mat wouldn’t be. I did notice a faint rubber smell on it when my face is close, like in child’s pose, but it’s not strong or too chemical, just smells like rubber. I hope that will start to fade but we if it doesn’t, it’s not a deal breaker. Glad I got this!

I really like this yoga mat—it’s lightweight, folds up easily, and grips the gym floor well without slipping. The only downside is durability. Mine arrived with a scratch and a small chunk missing. I’d return it, but I need to use it right now. I’m just a little worried it might tear more over time. Otherwise, it’s a great mat!

First, I love this color. Second, I can’t believe how light and compact this is. It’s a bit thin, but you’ll be glad for the portability.

If you’re traveling indoors you can always put a towel underneath it to protect your knees. If you’re traveling outdoors, you’ll appreciate the lightweight packability.

It feels durable for the price. It’s easy to fold right back into original form. There is no smell. I purchased it “Used, Like New” and it appears to be exactly that.

Update after a few weeks: This is a budget-friendly mat, and it doesn’t have the high quality and sticky grip that great mats will have, but you’ll pay a lot more for those. So it’s priced right for what it is. I’ll still keep this for travel because it’s so light and compact.

This mat solved a huge problem for me when I needed to keep up daily “Core Balance Training” while on a 16-day trip. It folds up small, very light weight, a tad narrow but nice and long, and I did not smell any off-gassing.

I’m loving this mat! I was turned on to them from one of my yoga students. It’s soooo convenient and easy to transport. It’s got good cushion but, you may want to use a towel or something under your knees. Great for everyday use and durable. I’m a yoga teacher and it’s convenient when I travel to different locations.
