Not as long as advertised, but still a good mat.

I like the design, and that the mat comes with 'chalk' to make it less slippery.  I am disappointed that this was advertised as a 72" mat and it's maybe 69" at most.  I'm very tall and need the extra length of mat.  I will keep it because I need to have a mat for yoga.  Just wish it were longer and maybe a little bit thicker.

We're still testing out our new mats, but so far so good. One thing to note is that we had to unroll it and let it air out for some time; it has a bit of an odor brand new. The mat's nice and secure and I like the extra length. The cushioning is enough to provide some padding but not feel off balance. It only seemed a little too thin when I'm on my knees. Again, I like this mat overall.

Very comfortable mat, protects joints and knees when kneeling etc. Very long, probably 6". Holds hands and feet in place when holding poses which in a plus, I often slip. Would double as a great camp sleeping mat. However I have done 4 30 min work outs using it, mostly just sit ups and it has developed a tear. Kinda disappointed this mat won't last long as otherwise I really love it.
UPDATE: The seller sent me a replacement mat! Thank you.

This mat is soft and colorful but it is rather small

An unusual "two-sided" extra-long mat. The sticky side performs like I expected, but the textured side was quite slippery. It's longer than the average mat.

Despite being labeled as "wider", this Gaiam is actually the same width as a Manduka (compared to both the Eko and the ProLight). It's also about 7-8" longer, which puts it squarely between the length of the normal and XL versions of Manduka's famed Black Mat. 5mm is a little thinner than the Black Mat's 6mm, but "thick" compared to discount-store mats. I could feel the tile flooring through this mat (but comfortable on carpet or other seamless flooring).

There's a little bit of a smell to the new mat, but nothing like a natural rubber mat's stench-- the scent seemed to mostly fade within a few hours. The sticky side feels like I expect for my hatha/vinyasa practice, but the textured side was very slippery if my hands/feet were at all sweaty. A new mat does take some time to break in, and that can be sped up by washing the mat with soap&water. But, the sticky side was usable right away without any treatment.

I'm not sure if the mat would move around on a polished wood floor, since the textured side is smooth for being on the bottom. The mat also holds its curl, so you should plan to roll it up according to which side you use.

I've had an on-again off-again yoga practice for many years, and have depended on a Manduka Eko (natural rubber) mat for many of those years. Getting a decent mat that fits your needs really helps maintain a practice. Plus, I've been to many studios where the mats are worn down and sort of gross-- bringing even an average mat is preferable to using those old shared ones.

I have a general perception that Gaiam mats don't hold up as well as Manduka's products, which opinion is influenced by all the cheap Gaiams at my local Big Box stores. I'll update if this Gaiam turns out to have longevity issues.

I haven't used this mat for very long yet, but so far it feels nice-but-not-spectacular. It doesn't have the firm friction-providing surface of my Manduka, but it's perfectly reasonable for the casual practice, and nice-looking. Recommended.

I use this mat for bikram yoga, which is hot and sweaty. 1/8 inch is ideal thickness, and I like the extra length of this mat as well. It doesn't stink like a lot of other mats, and it holds up very well probably not so environmentally sound but oh well at least it will be years before it winds up in a landfill. One negative, it took forever for Amazon to stock this and send it to me.

I like the mat, but it was a lot thinner than I expected.

we ordered a 9x12 and we received a mat closer to 8.5x 11.  It's pretty, but doesn't cover the area we need, so now looking for smaller rug to put next to it.  Dimensions on amazon need to be more accurate, otherwise, it seems deceptive.

This mat has an good combination of cushioning and support.  I use it mainly for in-home floor exercising [not yoga], and it is ideal for this [I prefer my floor mats on the slightly "cushy" side].  I also usually place a towel between me and the mat, and haven't noticed any micro-tearing that other reviewers have noted.  My red mat is just under the 24 inches width that's advertised [about 23 3/4 inches], but the length is accurate at 72 inches.  Very nice, and an excellent value!

So the mat does save me a little bit from my hardwood floors, but it's not as thick as or as long as I would like it to be....
Next purchase will be a longer and thicker mat.....
Hate to leave a "not so good" review on Beachbody -- as I LOVE beachbody!!!!

This runner was adequate for my needs, protecting my plush carpet during a charitable function.  But their thickness spec (0.1") is more than a little misleading.  The mat itself is less than 1/16" thick but it has a weave pattern of raised ridges on the backside that likely increase the thickness to a tenth of an inch.  There are also some spikes on the back which enable it to grip the carpet, technically making it thicker still.  But someone in spike heels standing in one place over a thick carpet could conceivably sink to the point of tripping when she went to walk again.  That said, it's a big improvement over any other product I found.

this has just the right extra size - not easy to find!  Most are either 24 inches wide or 30 or 36.  I didn't notice any smell and it rolls up nicely - I'm very happy with this mat

This bath mat is much longer than bath mats that I have used in the past. This mat almost covers my entire bathtub and it has a groove at the top where the water drains. This mat is about 39- 40 inches long, (depending where you measure it) and about 16 inches wide. It has several suction cups on the bottom to keep it in place that are about 1 inch apart. This mat is made out of vinyl and is  anti-slip and anti- bacterial. There are several holes in the mat to help drain all the water which makes it dry quicker and helps prevent mold. The holes in the center of the mat are slightly bigger so that if your shower drain is in the center of your shower, then you could still use this mat as long as the surface is smooth. This was simple to stick to the bottom of my bath tub. I cleaned the bottom of my tub, leaving my tub damp, then I placed the mat in the tub and had my son step on all the suction cups to make sure it was secure. I am surprised that it was not slippery when I had soap on the bottom of my feet. I would recommend this bath mat to anyone that is looking for a great quality long anti-slip mat.
I received this extra long vinyl bath mat at a discount in exchange for my honest unbiased review.

This mat is pretty thick.  Great comfort, not great if you need a space saver.  I should have measured before buying, it is pretty long.

I have some of these same mats I purchased at a store last year. Ordered this one to go under cat litter box, expecting the same size as what I have. But it is smaller and more square in shape. Still a great mat and will use for the entry way.

Long enough for me, and I like the extra thickness of the mat.

I didn't pay attention to the measurements but when it arrived it was smaller than I expected. It was much smaller than my previous mats and other mats I've seen at the store. But it was still very nice and I like that the inserts are interchangeable. The insert has stayed in well so far. I'm happy with my purchase.
