I have three different mats purchased simultaneously with a thickness between 0.4 and 1.5 cm thickness. Here I am in the middle of 0.8 cm. The first surprise is reflected in accepting the package, Amazon shipped the mat in an absolutely disproportionate package! That simply must not be! The package fits so in any normal waste bin. When unpacking reveals a hearty plastic smell, which is simply too massive! The thought of an hour or longer to lie in this fragrance on the mat not going! I have to let only aired a few days the mat, but then the smell is actually acceptable. Although only 0.8 cm thick of comfort is surprisingly high! Impressive! Also on tiles of comfort both when lying down as well as exercises with knees on the mat is perfectly acceptable! I want to take the mat on the plane to Italy, where the group space, operating in the tiles without underfloor heating calls his own. This works out! Whether hard tile or cold from below ... which mat is an optimal compromise between thick or thin and stability. Many hours, the mat used to meditate lying on the ground. This works out! And is a pleasant surprise. For the inordinate packaging and the powerful scent impression when unpacking but there is a star deduction.
