The thickness is what I have expected, but it is not flexible and is quite stiff.

This mat is a functional mat. As others have said, it has a strong smell to it but other than that, it’s worth the money you pay for it :)

I just bought this as a gift for my 11 yr old stepdaughter's birthday. She loves it. It's really cute and she loves that it has the mandala on one side and the poses on the other. It looks just like the pictures. - As a practicing yogi, however, I would not buy this for myself. This is not a good quality studio or home practice mat. It is very thin and the material is pretty slick. I bought this for my stepdaughter as a beginner mat and as a way to see if she might become, and stay interested in yoga. If she does, I will purchase a much higher quality mat for her as she develops a regular practice. If not, then I won't feel bad for spending $20 on a mat that she will sit on in her room and maybe do a few stretches here and there, or be forgotten about completely by the end of the month.

Not as squishy as I thought it would be with 34;premium34; in the title. Great design, I get lots of compliments.

Basic mat, fair value

This is a great mat! Love the color.
