I have two of those. They are a little nicer, but much smaller and much more expensive.

Yes it is! I love this mat! The thickness is dense so it is much more cushiony than I imagined. :-)

My yoga mats are not expensive either, I think I paid between $8 and $15 for them. When mine started getting slippery I would just buy a new one but now I use the slip free rosin and it pretty much takes care of it. I'm a little weird about the chalky feeling but I wash my hands immediately after yoga and I'm fine. It is definitely worth it.

I relied on the answers below and ordered this mat. However, mine arrived rolled up, not as tightly rolled as another one I had previously but still not flat. Just so you know.

I'm not sure. I do have a manduka yoga mat and it works perfectly. I know that manduka mats are pricey but it's really worth it. I hope this helps.

I would for sure recommend this mat. It is extremely comfortable and for the price I paid it is well worth the money. I can't answer about the expresso. I bought the red color mat.

No, I think I received the lower quality version, sent it back for exchange and again received the same style mat. However, the "lower quality" version which I apparently have (doesn't have cutouts for the d-rings) is actually a really nice mat; very heavy duty rubber. I have had it for two years, no problems.

I don't know the exact thickness but it does seem thin. To me, it was more important to have a mat where I'm not slipping when sweating than something really thick. But if thickness is important to you, I can't say I'd recommend this mat.

I don't know a good answer to that. Once you get used to using the mat, you are not as aware of the current. I did not buy the sheets. I would assume the little "wires" in the fabric would get brittle or soft with use and washing. I think the mat would be the longer lasting. I do not use the cover with it. It doesn't bother me to be in contact with the mat. I like it, and I think the numbness and tingling in my fingers and toes/hands and feet has improved some in the months I've been sleeping with my feet/calves on it. The mat is very similar to a mouse pad in texture, thickness and flexibility. I don't know a good answer to that. Once you get used to using the mat, you are not as aware of the current.

Hi! No, I believe it's sturdier and heaver than a regular bath mat. I really like it.

Advice for people with healthy knees: If you're alright with doubling over the mat for positions which put your weight on your knees, then go for the Harmony. The Harmony mat bends and unbends really easily. I never feel hassled when I fold the mat over to protect my knees. Also, Harmony's thinness makes it ideal for balance poses. I sometimes find that cushier mats affect my balance. However, if you suffer from knee issues, then disregard everything I just said and get the density. My husband has had knee surgery after sports accidents, thus he uses thick mats because of existing miniscus damage. It's imperative that he do so, because knee issues never go away and only get worse over time.

I hope the writing side is up, as that is how I use it. The mat has been working out very well for me. I just do some balance poses on the hardwood floor as I am not good enough yet to do them on the mat.

Totally! I use the eQua and the yoguitoes mat towels, both are very good and they will keep you from sliding, I preffer the eQua one with my manduka mat.

I would say that is about right. It is very comfortable, easy to clean and move around if needed. This is my second one and I really like them. This is by no means an anti fatigue mat. I use mine in the kitchen. The mat has a nicely padded foam back that prevents slipping and adds to the comfort.

Hi Jennifer, Our Barracuda Exercise mat is approximately the same thickness as a regular yoga mat, 1/4" Thick. It is not super squishy but does give enough padding to protect joints.

Hello Bonnie, the other people answered correctly. It rolls up like a rug and gets quite compact. The only problem I have is that it is a little stiff when rolled up, even more so than an excercise mat. So if you leave it rolled up too long it retains shape for a few days after unfolding.
