Tiggar Yoga mat - Natural Tree Rubber yoga Mat, Eco Friendly ,Non Slip, Dense Cushioning for Support and Stability in Yoga, Pilates, and General Fitness

UPDATED: (to 4 stars from 3) The smell dissipates after 3-4 weeks, and the performance of the mat over time makes it worth the wait. It seems quite similar to the Manduka mats, so I continue to use it. Gets gripper with time also.ORIGINAL: I've asked the seller to provide the names of the "non-toxic foaming agents and non-azo dye" used in this mat, as the report listed in the photos is not readable and basically is useless if we cannot read it. The link they provided does not have any information on the mat. As a years-long yoga teacher, I have owned natural rubber yoga mats from both Manduka and Jade (currently have 3), and the smell of this Tiggar/Tigger yoga mat is much different. I ordered it because I need a light grey mat for my current teaching situation where I have to record classes. I received it yesterday, and the smell is quite strong. I'm not surprised the mat was making people sneeze, per prior reviews.It would be helpful if Tiggar/Tigger yoga was transparent about the chemicals used in processing and list them in the Q&A instead of avoiding answering and deflecting the question to a website that has no useful information.The mat is okay. I'm sensitive to smell, so I'm hoping the smell will dissipate. Otherwise, I will need to return the mat.

I purchased the fudge. It's more amethyst / mauve but still very neutral. I researched mats for weeks and read what seemed like thousands of reviews before settling on this one.I have 40+ sessions in with it now. I wanted a thinner mat as it normally goes down on a wool carpet and I wasn't getting the stability I wanted on thicker mats. I've used it on wood floors as well with zero issues. I do not normally need a lot of padding. I'm 5'7, 135 pounds and appreciate the length, I have zero issues with the width and rarely find the need to adjust posture.It sticks and stays in place great normally on both carpet and wood floors. Zero shift issues. The edge that gets rolled in curls under a bit no matter how I roll it. I'm getting used to it but in the beginning it did set off my ADD a bit. I practice daily so it is not sitting rolled for any length of time.It stunk when it arrived. I wish the seller was a little more transparent about what exactly is in the mat, i.e. dyes etc. After about two weeks the smell started to dissipate.I did slide a little in the beginning but nothing like other mats and it seems with time the grip is getting better. I have sweaty hands 24/7 and this has been the best mat for stability with that.Overall it seems really durable. I can't see it tearing or flaking under normal yoga circumstances.Lastly it is heavier than other mats in my collection. I don't mind but others might if they're traveling with it a bit, you'll probably want a case with a padded shoulder strap.I'm really happy with the mat. If I had to purchase another I would pick this one.

I have been practicing hatha yoga and bikram yoga for many many years and have used a lot of  yoga mats made from different materials and various brands. This is the first time I tried a brand new product.  It is such a well made yoga mat.  High quality and reasonable price. I really love it!!!

Very good quality yoga mat. It has great ability to absorb moist, and great grip. The mat is also light enough to carry around and thick enough for the knees. So many beautiful colors and design to choose from.

I only practice hot yoga Because of the sweat, anti slip is very important to me. I am very satisfied with its high quality material and its exceptional resistance feel. Love the pattern as well.

I'm a yoga teacher and long time student as well and about ten years ago discovered the Manduka mat that's similar to this one and have repurchased it once because I love it so much.I'm staying in the countryside during covid and don't have access to the yoga shops where I usually buy my mats and my Manduka was sold out at the exact time I was in dire need of a new one (they lose grip after some years).All in all, I do prefer the Manduka. But this one offers great grip (not quite as good as Manduka, but better than most) for a much lower price. One thing I do like about this mat is that it is slightly cushier than my old Manduka - which allows me to never need padding on my knees.Both mats begin with quite a strong smell. I used to suffer from extreme smell and chemical sensitivities and would have to air the mat out for a week prior to using it. I did a program many years ago called "Meadow Healing" that cured my sensitivities and fibromyalgia and this is the first time I bought a new mat since. It's hard for me to gauge if the smell of this is better or worse now than the Manduka since I don't react anymore, but wanted to leave a thoughtful review because I remember how hard it used to be to find a yoga mat I could use. I left this one on the porch to air out for a day, then was fine to use it. There was a mild rubber smell, but it didn't bother me.All in all I'm happy with it - and I'm super picky. Will probably purchase the Manduka once I'm back in the city though.

I am SO happy with this mat! 4mm is not that heavy and still has enough cushion for my knees. It is easy for me carrying it around!

I bought this in Feb., and within 2 months, it already started having a few pieces start to flake off... first, it was a tear, and then eventually, the piece came off. It's even in a spot where I don't place my hands and feet so I don't understand the "wear and tear". Also, it's been 5 months now and the seams/thread on the edges are getting loose. =( Bummer. I was really hoping this would last at least a few years and was trying to find an eco-friendly mat. It is great in the sense that it doesn't slip.
