Yakibest Basics 1/2-Inch Extra Thick Exercise Yoga Mat

Order a red mat. Pink one arrived!! Conclusion, fulfillment section is populated by color blind folks. Will not return.

Folks who sell mats are skunks. I asked for think mat and half the responses came back 1/4 inch thick. One was advertised as thick it was only 1/3 inch thick. Reason i purchased is this one is 1/2 inch thick.

I am tall. So i looked for longer mat. They show mats for tall folks which are only70′ long when the standard length is 72′. Why don’t they advertise 80′ or 84′ length that is 1/2 inch thick. Never happen.

Moral of story, read very carefully the description of what you are getting before you order. I really do not know why something so simple is so darn complicated to purchase. Yes, i am a confirmed purchaser!!!

I love this mat! My workout spaces are either the hard garage floor or my office tile floor. The thin exercise mats were not cutting it. This mat has a ton of cushion and support which makes floor work far more bearable. It is a good length. The carrying handle is a nice addition since i move it around pretty frequently. No smell issue past the initial ‘shipped in plastic’ smell that disappeared after i let it air out overnight. My workouts are much more enjoyable now and my little kids love crawling all over it too.

I have a few of these now. One to use upstairs, one for downstairs, bought them for my kids, etc. They are great for home work-outs. I did discover that the yellow color one really upsets my fish though, had to get rid of that one. I would like if these were a bit thicker. Using these on a hard-wood floor while doing sit-ups and crunches is hard on your back and increasing the thickness would help a lot.

I am beyond grateful with this item, i have been using it and love how is perfect for workouts, the support it gives on my body, i don’t feel like my body is laying on a hard floor. I really recommend this item, the quality and the price are perfect.

Comfortable mat, plenty of padding to save the joints against floor. My toddler and dogs claimed it as theirs, it’s surviving an 80lb basset walking all over it trying to make it a nest.

I just received mine today. Ordered the gray one but looks more like forest green, it doesn’t bother me though. Color is beautiful! Mat is very comfortable and thick enough. Perfect for my indoor work out. I love it!

This mat has revolutionized my stretching routine and core work. Very supportive of the back and feels great. Doesn’t fold up while using like other, cheaper made floor mats.

This is a perfect mat for my floor work. I was shocked at how much difference the extra padding would be for my comfort. It’s well worth the price and arrived very quickly. I couldn’t recommend this mat enough.

I bought a yoga mat so i wouldn’t have to put my face in the carpet that, while clean, has been through 2 dogs and 15 years of life in our home. This amazon basics yoga mat provides ample cushioning. Part of my stretching requires me to lay on my stomach. I can do so quite comfortably on this mat and even used the partially folded up end to support my right foot. As for durability, we’ll see, but i’m not planning on carrying this anywhere right now. Am very happy with this purchase, and it was the least expensive mat. Would have liked a color but black is just fine for me.

Pretty, bright color (pink), very nice thickness and in perfect condition. Comfortable to use. Very pleased.

I was surprised when i saw a yoga mat of this thickness for such a low price. I’ve had it for month now and here is what i think about it. It’s not as firm as i would’ve hoped for it to be, the reason i got in the first place was because i was having trouble working out on my wooden floors m, this made it a lot easier to work out on the floor but i could still feel the floor beneath me as i sunk into it.not very firm and i’m considered low weight so i wasn’t even too heavy for it. Also, it comes with a little sling handle you put around it after wrapping it, after just a day of having left it wrapped with the handle, i could see the indentations the handle had made on it. These still haven’t come out and we’re disappointing to find on my brand new mat. It’s overall an okay mat. Don’t buy if you consider yourself heavy.

I was having back problems and the standard yoga mat wasn’t helping. It’s very hard to find a thick yoga mat, a lot where just slightly thicker by 1/8 inch. So i was really happy to find this one. The thickness i love nice cushion for floor exercises, no complaints. Like that it come a carrying strap. The lines on the mat run vertically which can make for a slippery grip, i wish they were horizontally oriented. Also, i find my nails fingers and toes can cause scraps and chunks. Overall, a good mat and glad i purchased.

This mat helps cushion my joints when doing floor exercises. The carrying handle is easy to put on and take off. Keeps it rolled up nicely. The mat was crimped up at one end from how it was originally rolled up. It is gradually working out. It also has a chemical smell to it. I tried putting it outside but it didn’t eliminate the smell. The odor seems to be getting weaker as time goes on. I have been using the mat for about 2 weeks and no damage has occurred such as holes or tears, as other reviewers mentioned. Overall it serves my purpose and i am keeping it.

This is a nice and thick yoga mat, which is what i was looking for. I have no complaints, except that amazon sent the wrong color. It’s not worth the energy for me to send it back and replace it so i can have the pink i wanted instead of black, but it would have been nice to get the color i ordered

Super comfy and soft so your knees don’t hurt from hard surfaces. The one thing i don’t like is how squeaky it is against some surfaces.

The mat is just what i wanted to ease my floor work, but i received it with packing tape wrapped around it to hold the carrying strap in place. When i tried to remove the tape, it began to pull up the mat’s surface. So, now i’ll have tape on the bottom of my mat. Not ideal, but not worth wasting resources to exchange it for a perfect one.

The mat itself is very thick and comfortable .packaging needs improvement , a crease was formed which is so hard to remove

As soon as i opened the box, the strong smell hit me. Like others said it really smells like cat pee lol. I rolled it out and put it outside for a few hours and the smell went away! I noticed immediately it had a bunch of little holes like as if it’s been used (i don’t think it has but it’s weird) i’m only planning on doing things like yoga on this mat so i won’t be returning it but if i was planning on doing more rigorous activity i would’ve definitely retuned it because those holes have potential to get bigger with a lot of use. Besides that it’s perfectly padded and i love the length

edited to add: the carrying strap looks like it’s gonna break really fast, i probably won’t be able to get much more use out of it so that’s something to note

Most of the mats in this category seem identical, however amazon’s product is less expensive and of higher quality.

The product matches its description except for it never came with the carrying strap.
