SukhaMat Yoga Knee Pad Cushion – America's Best Exercise Knee Pad - Eliminate Pain During Yoga or Exercise - Extra Padding & Support for Knees, Wrists, Elbows - Complements Your Yoga Mat

I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. My rheumatologist recommended yoga since I can startin a chair and work my way up. But I had a hard time doing the floor exercises that require youto be on your knees. I happen to come across the Yoga Knee Pad when I was looking for athicker Yoga mat. My Yoga mat is 3/4 inch and adding the knee pad makes it just over an inchwhich significantly helps cushion my knees, even my hands and elbows. I think this is a greatbuy if you need just a little more support when doing Yoga floor exercises.

This mat is perfect for tossing on top of a regular 3mm or 5mm yoga mat and gives the exact amount of cushion for whatever part of your body might not want to roll around on hardwood. I use this in conjunction with my yoga paws (yoga mats for your hands and feet). I can just throw this mat and my yoga paws in my travel bag and do yoga literally anywhere. Quality is very good. There isn't any weird smell (just the standard "rubbery" yoga mat smell). A LOT of squishy exercise mats have that weird smell but this one is great. I use this on top of a 1 inch thick exercise mat for pilates + crunches, which usually cause a lot of soreness in my booty bones. Helps a lot with inversions as it gives your head, elbows, or shoulders a place to land. I will definitely recommend this to friends and will probably purchase at least one more for my home studio to share with guests. :)

This is awesome! My knees have been sore from yoga lately (too many table tops and forward lunges). Instead of buying a thicker mat, I found this. It's been awesome! It's small enough that I can still carry it with my other yoga gear. It fits perfectly across my mat and between the thickness of this mat and my actual yoga mat, my knee pain is gone!My only "con" to this is how it was sent. It was so tightly curled, I had to weigh it down to get it to stay straight.

I finally reached the point in my yoga practice where a folded towel under my knees was no longer providing enough support to keep my practice pain free, so I decided to upgrade to this knee pad and I am extremely happy I did! I use this in a fast moving vinyasa class that includes lots of kneeling poses and it is the perfect size to support one or both knees in every pose that requires it while still being short enough that it doesn't get in the way of my standing series. I should clarify that my knee pain was from wear and tear from a daily yoga practice coupled with extremely bony knees--I haven't had an injury/surgery so I am not sure how well it would work in that case, but as someone who just needs a bit of extra support beyond the thickness of my mat, this was perfect. I purchased the dark blue color and when I opened it for the first time there was a bit of a smell but it dissipated within a few hours. I have also only been using it for a short time, so I can't speak to its durability, but it appears to be pretty dense foam and it springs back to its original shape after every class, so I am hopeful that it will last for a good long while.

I'm a Yoga instructor and this Yoga knee pad has become the "go-to" for my students with knee issues and those who require a little extra cushioning when on the mat. It's light, unobtrusive, easy to carry to/from class, and just right thickness so knees are protected without sacrificing steadiness on the mat. (It's also easy to move it out of the way when not needed during practice.) My students have tried knee pads, gardening mats, rolled up blankets, and all sorts of other cushioning over the years ... this is the one that works! I have students with serious joint issues, including knee surgeries and replacements. It has been extremely helpful for them. When not protecting knees, I've seen my students slip it under their head as a pillow during relaxation, under their forearms/elbows in dolphin pose, and under their hips for side-lying postures. It offers just the right amount of cushioning without interfering with the practice.

This has been my 1st and only yoga "extra" purchase and it was the best move I could have made.My knees have always been sensitive to hard surfaces so I knew that if I was going to invest in this practice and journey, I needed to be comfortable from the start.People always ask me where I got this once I pull it out to use it. It easily fits in my yoga mat bag and flattens back out (since it was curled around my mat) upon use. It is super easy to use and much more comfortable and convenient than using a blanket.Great price and great product. I have had it for 6 months and it is still going strong!

Was initially looking at the RatPad YogaRat RatPad, Indigo as my knees need the extra padding, but I hate the thicker (squishier) full yoga pads. So, glad I stumbled upon the Sukha Knee Pad instead as I don't need to move it around (as I would with the single knee pad)...good cushion without being too soft and stays put on the yoga mat underneath. The shipping on this item was a little outrageous, but still glad I purchased it...use it every day. YogaRat RatPad, Indigo

This knee pad is nice and thick. It made an immediate impact on the quality of my yoga session by cushioning my palms during the downdog pose which I frequently do, and reassures me that I am not placing excessive force on my wrists. I've just placed an order for a second identical mat for my knees.

Good mats! My husband loves these for his knees during yoga!

This mat is perfect for adding the extra cushioning I needed for my knees during yoga practice. Nice and thick and much better than doubling up the entire yoga mat or folding over the edge. Very easy to move around during practice as needed and as it is as wide as the mat it cushions both knees at once. Love it.

Tiene buen espesor, protege las rodillas en el ejercito. Indispensable en la práctica del Yoga.

Best purchase I ever made. LOL I teach all kinds of fitness classes, this is easy to transport!

It's a great knee protector specially for Yoga also use it for diffferent kind of knee protection.

Excelente for knees!

works great for people with knee issues

Justo lo que necesitaba para mis rodillas

Works really well for knee problem

Works well. I like the one piece for ease of placing.

excellent product

I purchased this mat to cushion my knee following knee replacement surgery. My surgery was 8 month ago and I find the mat too dense to cushion the knee properly.
