Retrospec Solana 1 inch Yoga Mat

The retrospec Solana exercise mat is wonderful! I selected black as the color option. It is 1 inch thick (72" x 24" x 1") so there is plenty of padding to make for relatively painfree stretching. It is more comfortable than the PT tables at the rehab center where I am receiving treatment for a sprained ankle! The mat is easy to roll up for storage and to unroll for daily usage. I feel I made the right choose in selecting this brand for the features offered and at a reasonable price. I haven't tried cleaning it yet because I just purchased it.

Love this mat. It's big enough to do sun salutations, firm enough for balances poses, and the best part is the one-inch depth. It's a soft resilient cushion that protects you and makes floor work comfortable and easy.

Great mat! The extra thickness is fabulous. You cannot feel the floor through it at all. It is also long and wide enough to be comfortable to use.

While I like this pad, it is actually 3/4" thick and not 1 inch as stated. The other dimension are 24" by 73", so slightlly longer than stated. Now that I'm using this pad I think that this is plenty thick enough and any thicker would be hard to roll up and too heavy. It comes rolled the wrong way, probably to protect the main use surface. I roll it the opposite way so that it lays flat on the floor. It also was rolled so that a deep crease formed on one end. I hope this will disappear over time. The firmness of this mat is excellent and gives you support without being squishy.

Noticeably thicker than other yoga mats and very comfy/well cushioned. I have bad knees and this makes sitting and kneeling much more comfortable. The carrying sling is nice, but slides around pretty easily. But way better than carrying it without the sling/strap for sure. A bit pricey, but I feel like it's worth it for the quality.

Love this exercise mat. Durable, comfortable, and seems a little longer and thicker.

Soft and thick! Good for your back if you have problems there.

I recently started exercising again and this mat makes it much more comfortable. The thickness really helps my knees, which aren’t as young as they used to be. The only thing I’ve noticed is that I have a little more trouble with my balance because my foot seems to move more because the mat is soft and thick. I’m sure I’ll get used to it, and the benefit to my knees is worth it! Some people have mentioned an odor. I’m very sensible to that and I haven’t noticed any smell coming from it. I don’t find it too bulky to carry, given its thickness. I definitely recommend this mat, especially if you want to alleviate pressure on your knees and joints!
