Does anyone have one of Cathe's (not round) yoga mats?

kittybug · 04-17-21, 10:52 AM

I'm in desperate need of a new yoga mat as I've only ever had cheapo ones and they are now literally disintegrating and need replacing. I'm curious about Cathe's new yoga/exercise mats (not the big round one, no room for that), how the extra thickness is, how sticky they are, etc. Does anyone have one to comment on? TIA!!

I only have the Cathe green mat that came with the Turbo Tower, as well as a Cathe roll up "travel" black (non-sticky) mat from many years ago.

I did just buy her "new" round black mat, and

it! Best mat I've ever purchased!

Since you're looking for a yoga mat specifically, Gaiam now makes a much thicker 6mm mat that is quite good. I have two of these placed on top of my Cathe round mat for even extra cushioning. Mine is extra long and wider than regular yoga mats. Purchase on Amazon for about $26 each.

I've been looking at the aqua one, even though I don't need it. It's the same thickness as the round ones (the cork one isn't as thick), so I would assume it performs the same as the round ones too.

Cathe's Amazon store has some reviews, and the shipping would be free if you're a prime member.

Thanks for the recommendation, Pam! I'll definitely check those out!

Lori, I'm looking at that one too, though I like the darker blue too. I was planning to order from Amazon since I've got Prime. Just need to make a decision and stop wavering!

I just bought the round mat and the cork mat from Cathe. I ❤️ The cork mat!

i have the aqua mat. it is a very nice textured mat! the color combo and thickness caught my eye when they first came out.

I just bought a jade mat, the harmony, and I absolutely love it. It’s very grippy and not too heavy but thick enough. I also have two Manduka mats that are grippy, more than Gaiam mats, but not as grippy as Jade. Sorry to hijack the thread but I think you’d be happier with a Manduka or Jade mat.

Kim, not hijacking at all! I should have mentioned I'm open to other suggestions, and I'll look into yours for sure too!
