Overview
This 8mm POE yoga mat measures 72 by 28 inches, reversible with a different color on each side and non-slip texture on both faces. It comes with a carrying strap for transport to a gym or studio.
The extra width and thickness set this apart from standard 6mm, 24 inch mats, aimed at people who find narrower mats cramped or who want more cushioning under the knees and spine. POE is pitched as a step up from ordinary TPE for durability and odor resistance. Reviewers largely back the cushioning and width, though at least one certified instructor found the extra thickness got in the way rather than helping.
- 8mm POE construction, thicker than standard 6mm mats
- 72 by 28 inch reversible dual color design
- Non-slip texture on both sides
- Included carrying strap for transport
Who it's for
Good for people who want a wider, more cushioned mat for home floor work, general yoga or Pilates on hard flooring. Less ideal for practitioners who prefer a thin, firm mat for balance heavy poses, since the 8mm depth can feel unstable underfoot.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly single out the thickness and the 28 inch width as the reasons they bought it, with several saying it eases pressure on their knees on hard floors and gives more room than a standard mat. The carrying strap gets called out as a genuine convenience rather than an afterthought. The two complaints that show up are a want for more surface grip and, from one certified yoga instructor, that the mat was too thick for her practice.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Extra width leaves room to move without edges
- 8mm cushioning eases pressure on knees and spine
- Reversible two color design, non-slip on both sides
- Carrying strap makes it easy to transport
- Some reviewers wanted more surface grip
- Thickness can feel unstable for balance focused practice
Performance notes
The POE material and dual textured surface are what keep the mat from sliding on tile or hardwood, a point several reviewers confirmed directly. Because it is reversible with two colors, one side can be used until it needs cleaning while the other stays fresh. The 28 inch width gives noticeably more room than a standard mat, which mattered to at least one petite reviewer who found narrower mats cramped.
