Premium 6mm Print Yoga Mat 68in x 24in - Extra Thick Non Slip

In this review of the Premium 6mm Print Yoga Mat, the bottom line is simple: this mat is for practitioners who want extra joint protection without a heavy carry weight. Our review finds the 6mm thickness and textured surface deliver noticeably more cushioning and reliable traction for standing poses and floor work, while remaining light enough to take to class or use at home. The mat's printed design and cleaner material profile make it a sensible choice for people who value comfort, grip, and a phthalate-free option.

Key Features

• Extra 6mm cushioning: Provides thicker joint protection for knees and wrists during poses and transitions, reducing discomfort on hard floors.
• Sticky non slip texture: The textured surface offers enhanced traction to help maintain alignment and prevent slipping during vinyasa and balance work.
• Lightweight construction: Despite the 6mm thickness, the mat remains easy to roll and carry to classes or around the house.
• 6P free PVC: Manufactured without the six most harmful phthalates, making it a healthier choice for users and the environment.
• Free downloadable yoga class: Includes a bonus downloadable workout to help users get started with routines and sequences.

Who It's For

This mat suits home practitioners, studio attendees and Pilates users who need more padding than a standard 3mm mat. The 68in by 24in size fits most adults and the extra thickness is helpful for anyone with sensitive joints or those who include a lot of floor-based strength and mobility work in their routine.

People who prefer ultra-thin, travel-friendly mats or require extra grip in hot, sweaty practices might look elsewhere; some users note varying slipperiness depending on personal grip and that printed mats can have a mild initial odor that benefits from airing out.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thick 6mm cushioning offers real relief for knees and wrists during long sessions.
• Textured, sticky surface improves traction for many standing and flow poses.
• Lightweight and easy to roll for transport to class or storage at home.
• Made without common harmful phthalates, a safer choice for health-conscious buyers.

Cons

• Some users report initial odor or occasional slipperiness until the mat is broken in and aired out.
