How does this differ from a traidiotnal yoga mat?

It's not really for yoga but I guess could be used if you want a lot of thickness. It's more for doing floor exercises like push-ups and sit-ups on a hard floor. I wouldn't carry it to yoga, it's big and doesnt fold up like a yoga mat. I love it for my house to do my floor exercises on. High quality mat for this purpose.

Much thicker and softer. Also not as long as most yoga mats. I would not use this for yoga.

yoga mat is very thin and is mainly to keep you from slipping. the aeromat I use for Pilates and is mainly to support the spine and keep your bones from hitting the floor. they are very soft and supportive at least 1 inch thick and very dense foam. really nice.

It is completely different. This is just a cotton fill as the Tempurpedic is a memory foam. The memory foam will last a LOT longer and is more firm. This is just a cheap cotton fill roll. Flattens out relatively quickly, but at 14$ for two is much cheaper. Also the Tempurpedic pillows are pretty heavy so if you're thinking of this for travel etc, this light weight might work better, you can squish it to fit in a suitcase.

Judy, the "pad" that has come with these $59.99 "rubber" mats has been a kind of "slip cover" (like the pillow case on a pillow. It's thin, and designed to make the mat feel more comfortable to bare skin. I would probably not describe this pad as "plush", but it certainly does the job, and I've had no discomfort whatsoever with my bare legs on this covering. I feel it's a very good unit, and likely to be longer wearing than some of the other Earthing devices, such as the "half sheets" or full sheets. They're made of cotton with the metallic fibers in them, and my guess is that they're probably not as durable as the "rubber" mat with slip cover that you are considering. In my judgement, well worth the money. I sleep better with my legs on one, have used Earthing products for 3 or 4 years now. Charles ND, PhD helpingtohealclinic@iw.net .

The mat has some cushion but it is not nearly as thick as a playmat. I would use it on hard wood floors if I was with my baby the whole time to prevent any bumps. Hope this helps!

Absolutely! It gives enough cushioning unlike the ridiculously thin Yoga mats, yet it allows you to do standing poses. Another plus is it's good for folks like my husband who has very long legs. This is the Best mat I've ever had.

I sleep on my back with the mat underneath my shoulders and lower back. It feels great and I sleep better with it. In fact, when I don't have it with me, I miss it. I started with a heavier tee shirt for a few days to get used to the pressure points, and then switched to a very light tee. I also bought one for my sister Melinda, who'd had knee replacement surgery and was having a lot of pain and discomfort. When I called to see how she liked it, she said it had really helped her. (The only problem was that her cat tried it out when Melinda first got it. Now my sister has to take the mat away from the cat when she wants to use it.)

I have no idea what the difference is. I looked at the description of the "Calmer" pad and it appears to do the same thing mine does. I love my pad. I have a seriously degenerating spine and it helps my tight muscles and will often times help me fall asleep.

The fabric is more substantial then a microfiber dust cloth. It feels very soft on the skin. The underside has a grid of nubs that grip the mat so there is no sliding. It is the towel of choice for hot yoga classes.

It's a great mat. It stays in place during my most intense yoga during floor work and standing poses. I find the more expensive mats don't stay in place as well.

This mat has a textured side and a smooth side. The smooth side has a slight bit of tackiness to it, so that side goes down on the surface. I've had no issues with sticking to the textured side.

rubber ,but not very dense rubber which is why I actually find folding it up (making it smaller but more thick) is the best way to use this mat. Again, there are more expensive mats out there, but to make this one usable I fold it like a pancake over itself to make it comfy.

There is no difference between them. Same product with different name. Yoga Gems is a little fancier name, that's all.

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

Not sure- I'm thinking just the name. It's a good mat, you won't be disappointed.

I bought from 2 different manufacturers. Their construction is similar. If you type 'Himalayan acupressure mat' in your search engine, you can go to the various sites.

No, it does not. The mat is thicker than an average yoga may, also. It would be nice to have a mat.
