The mat I bought for use in the cold season. Usually I just use Pilates mats which are thinner. This mat is really almost a luxury, lying is pleasant and arms are no longer cold during lateral stretching supine. However, the quality is worth only 4 stars, the mat has for 3 weeks been using impressions, which I do not personally feel that bad. It is relatively non-slip, which surprised me. Of particular note, I think it has the mat smelled very little discomfort and is nothing more to remember after a week. Price-performance ratio is absolutely top.
