 also had for 3 years and enjoy itAug 15, 2010
i bought THREE of these mats from amazon in 2007. 2 for me and one for my dad.
i do 2-3 hours of yoga/pilates a week.
i first learned about this mat from my yoga instructor who came back from a conference with one.
because i tore my ACL and never had it repaired (PT only and doing fine), i need the added cushion.
also, as part of my PT, i have to do lots of balancing exercises. so when i am in class, the cushion makes me work harder to maintain balance poses.
those are the pros. the biggest con is that the treads wore down after a year. at that point, there was not enough traction for downward facing dog or warrior. so i ended up turning it over in order to use the treads on the other side. it works but i have to keep the ends from curling up with small weights.
overall, it is still the best type of mat i've had in 6 years.

I purchased this mat less than a month ago and when I went to unroll it the 3rd time for class the ribbing on the mat had disappeared on the upper portion of the mat where my hands would be placed! I didn't do anything unusual to cause the morphing. I am in the process of returning it.
Owned the 10mm one for 3 years now and still love itMay 26, 2010
I love this mat. Still sticky, and in great shape after 3 years. Bonus: no nasty synthetic smells.
I do take good care of it:
It never gets put away damp.
I don't use it outdoors.
I don't leave it in a locker or unbreathable bag.
These are biodegradable mats, so you should treat them with a bit of common sense to ensure that they last (I think 3 years and going strong is pretty good!)
 Nice Cushy MatApr 02, 2010
As a beginner to yoga, I needed to find my own mat I could start taking to class. After much research I chose this one. When I received it I washed it in a mild soapy solution and left it unrolled for a day. The first couple times of use the mat seemed a little slippery, but this has gone away. I love the thickness of the mat. I spray it with a lavender solution after every use. It is holding up well after 30+ hours of use and hope it continues to do so. When I'm done using it, I can recycle it. Thanks Hugger Mugger.

 I love it, but...Dec 01, 2009
I really really loved this mat when I bought it. It has a great non-slip surface and is really squishy and wonderful. Several months into ownership, I noticed that it started slipping beneath me. I can't get through a yoga class without it stretching several inches and moving me around the floor. It COULD be because I left it in my car all summer and its fabulous biodegradable nature lead to its demise. So, I don't know if it's exactly why, but DON'T LEAVE IT IN A HOT CAR!
