This I can say after just a few training sessions.
The smell is minimal and very discreet. Especially there is no chemical smell and this seems also to evaporate very quickly.
In that respect I am very sensitive !!!
The mat is very thick (1.5 cm). If you are used thinner mats, it can obviously a bit weird happen to train on this. But this is purely a matter of habit.
Theoretically, you can use the mat to sleep.
Although it is quite expensive, but if it lasts a long time, then I do not care.
PS: You can see the Quality of the mat because they "verschindet" traces a training session after a short time. By that I mean the marks on the mat, which inevitably arise in determining exercises.
