"I doubt the strap is included in the warranty, but the elasticity of the loops is quite impressive and may indeed last 2+ years, and can certainly be used with other mats."
"Pros: -it's mostly non-slip, if you're not doing a lot of sliding around on it -the strap is convenient and useful -the material does re-form after each use, so the marks from your hands and feet won't be permanent -it's easy to carry around, especially being so thin -better than floor or carpet Cons -it can slide around a bit depending on what you're doing -it's a bit too thin, and I guess I should have known when I bought a 1/4" one, but it's my first one and I thought lightweight was better to carry around and no one really had any problems with it being too thin."
"* I've been using this for almost a year."
"I did my research on different mats and decided on this one based on customer reviews, price and the fact it came with a carry strap."
"I have used this mat for less than 10 yoga class and it is falling apart."

"I doubt the strap is included in the warranty, but the elasticity of the loops is quite impressive and may indeed last 2+ years, and can certainly be used with other mats... The smell does seem to have subsided after leaving it open for an hour or so, and will likely be unnoticeable after regular use. In short, the mat is good quality for a low price, and definitely a worthwhile buy for anyone looking to dip their toes into a yoga practice."

I suppose you can make up your own mind over this depending on what you need it for. It works as a short-term solution for me, but I'm thinking of trying it over carpet."
"* I've been using this for almost a year. Good Yoga mat, but susceptible to "gouges" and "flakes. " I suppose that's par for the course (or I'm just too darn hard on my mat)."
"This is the first yoga mat I have ever purchased... I did my research on different mats and decided on this one based on customer reviews, price and the fact it came with a carry strap... Full disclosure, I do use it on the carpet at my house most of the time, I find that it is sticky enough to keep me on it when I am doing positions that people complain about sliding during."

"* The mat came wrapped in plastic with a 2-year warranty card included. The carry strap is made of 2 elastic loops (which easily slide on and off the rolled mat) connected by a solid strap. I doubt the strap is included in the warranty, but the elasticity of the loops is quite impressive and may indeed last 2+ years, and can certainly be used with other mats... One of the photos in my review shows how the material is a bit like memory foam (I'm hoping the marks from the carry strap dissipate)... When I first removed the platic wrapping, the mat had a strong chemical odor (formaldehyde most likely). The smell does seem to have subsided after leaving it open for an hour or so, and will likely be unnoticeable after regular use. In short, the mat is good quality for a low price, and definitely a worthwhile buy for anyone looking to dip their toes into a yoga practice."
"* There are a lot of pros and cons with this product. Pros: -it's mostly non-slip, if you're not doing a lot of sliding around on it -the strap is convenient and useful -the material does re-form after each use, so the marks from your hands and feet won't be permanent -it's easy to carry around, especially being so thin -better than floor or carpet Cons -it can slide around a bit depending on what you're doing -it's a bit too thin, and I guess I should have known when I bought a 1/4" one, but it's my first one and I thought lightweight was better to carry around and no one really had any problems with it being too thin... My knees hurt during deep stretches. -dirt/dust sticks to this thing like crazy. You can't simply shake it out. I suppose you can make up your own mind over this depending on what you need it for. It works as a short-term solution for me, but I'm thinking of trying it over carpet."
"This is the first yoga mat I have ever purchased. Needless to say you can't beat the price. I did my research on different mats and decided on this one based on customer reviews, price and the fact it came with a carry strap... Full disclosure, I do use it on the carpet at my house most of the time, I find that it is sticky enough to keep me on it when I am doing positions that people complain about sliding during... I am not the biggest fan about how curled the corners stay but if I use the opposite side it is a non issue. My hands and feet do make imprints but they do not remain long... I have had this product 2 months and really do love it."
