Hugger Mugger Tapas Ultra Yoga Mat - Outstanding 1/4″ Soft Cushion, Lightweight, Made in the USA Sticky Mat, Durable and Long-Lasting

I ordered this because I wanted a thick yoga mat. It is thick but not as thick as I would have liked, I still often have to double it up to protect my elbows and knees. However the surface is comfortable and just the right amount of sticky. And I love the color. Works well enough for my purposes.

No smell. No slipping. Light weight. Comfortable. If you pay three times as much for a yoga mat (which I did), you get a mat that is stiffer and that provides a little more support for the pressure areas. I found that this is an excellent mat for the money that I spent.

Very sticky. I’ve had it for about 2 mos now. I’ve gotten used to it and I think the stickiness has lessened some. Nice thickness and pretty color.

I’ve tried to do upward bow pose for a while with my Gaiam yoga mat. However, my hands kept slipping. I barely sweating, I am sure my hand is always dry. One day my yoga classmate told me maybe is mat issue, so I tried to do the same pose upward bow on her hugger mugger mat. Immediately I feel difference, so I decided to buy a hugger mugger yoga mat.I received this yoga mat just three days and I already total fall in love with it. I’ve tried several poses and my hands stay sturdily. And it is really lightweight but comfortable. I left knee had been surgery, so my knee bone is very sensitive to hard ground. This Hugger mugger mat did a good support for both my hands and knees. I love it and highly recommend to yoga lover. It’s not expensive but do the same job for me, if compared with Jade or manduka brand.

I have had a Hugger Mugger Tapas mat for about four years that I totally loved... So sticky, I had to peel it off the ground like a bandaid after practice. It got pretty thin and started flaking away at my feet and hand prints over the past few months, so I finally decided to get a new mat and sprang for an "upgraded" model-- the Tapas Ultra.Very disappointed with this mat. I've been using it for about a month and a half, and it's already starting to flake at my feet prints. It slides around on the ground during practice, especially on bamboo floors. (For some reason, it sticks better to hardwood.) My mat will bunch up during practice, which is very distracting. I tried using both sides of the mat to see if one side was for the floor, but same results on both sides. I had read cautionary reviews and was worried I would feel the same way.I do like the extra cushion, and I even got the XL version (I'm 6' tall). It's perfect in those two departments, but I am overall disappointed with this purchase. I mainly practice vinyasa, but I do yin 1x per week. Not nearly as many problems in yin, so if that is your main practice, this mat will definitely work for you.I will unfortunately be purchasing another mat. So sad!! I loved my old Tapas!!

I love this mat. I had a Tapas Ultra mat that I got as a gift when I was in my 20s and now I am much older (the mother of two teenagers!) and the mat just recently started to shred. It's just the right amount of sticky and grip without being too sticky. There is no weird smell. It's just thick enough to be comfortable without compromising balance or form. I use this mat for yoga and also for ab workouts and ballet barre style workouts. I bought many mats trying to find "the perfect mat" and I finally just went back to a new mat in my favorite style and I couldn't be happier. My old Tapas Ultra lasted nearly 20 years so I'm hoping this one will too.

I did a ton of research before buying this mat. I am just beginning yoga practice, so I wanted something that wasn't overly expensive but would still do a great job. I read review after review about other mats falling apart. When I read the reviews on this mat, I was sold. I followed the advice of another reviewer and prepped my mat before I used it for the first time. I scrubbed it really well with warm water and a little dish soap, rinsed and let it dry thoroughly before rolling it and putting it away. This mat is comfortable. It's squishy without flattening completely. It works really well on hard floors and carpet. My toddler often wants to do yoga with me and this mat is long enough to accommodate both of us as he follows most of my poses (I'm not tall by any means: 5' 4", my point is that this mat is long enough to accommodate a much taller person than me). If his interest in yoga continues, I'll have to buy him his own mat. I would definitely buy this mat again. Squishy and comfortable, but easy to roll and carry around.

I bought one of these mats last year and it worked just fine. Sticky. Good grip. So when the other mat wore out I ordered another. The new mat is way too slick. I used it for a week and it never lost its slickness. My yoga teacher almost fell when she stepped onto my mat to adjust my pose one day!!!! She said, "What on earth kind of mat is this?" Super super slippery. NO GRIP. I don't know if this one was a fluke, but it was a waste of my money and I will not be buying another.

had this mat for years and now replaced it with a new one. my favorite!

Es perfecto! Ligero, no resbala.

There is no slipping on this mat. I am 6 ft tall and it is longer than regular mats. Best purchase I could have made in a yoga mat!

Good

Mat is very suitable for the yoga I do. I like the colour. It has a good, slightly grippy surface.
