Comments about Jade Fusion Yoga Mat - Midnight Blue:
I finally decided to purchase a high-end yoga mat after years of buying cheap mats that had disappointing grip & cushion. This mat is extremely durable (and thick) and my hands and feet never slip. It's definitely bulkier and heaver than other mats, but I don't consider that a bad thing (but wanted to note it).

Comments about Jade Fusion Yoga Mat - Midnight Blue:
I've been using this mat for 90 minute vinyasa sessions three or four times a week for about six months now. The pros: I like the eco-friendly manufacturing and packaging, and the fact that it's made in the USA. It's a very sticky mat and I've never lost my grip no matter how sweaty I get. It's luxurious and very comfortable to use, especially if you have wrist or thumb pain (I do).The cons: But all that comfort comes with a price--at a whopping seven pounds it's very heavy and difficult to manage (inconvenient but worth it). Worse, though, it shows every speck of dirt and dust, and also shows sweat marks. That's frustrating for me because I clean my mat often but it still looks dusty when I roll it out at thebeginning of a practice. It also shows a scuff/wear pattern from my rough heels, so it's not quite as durable as I had hoped.In summary, it's not the "perfect" yoga mat but it's great for people who need extra padding for pain relief. I recommend using a yoga towel with it to prevent premature wear.

Comments about Jade Fusion Yoga Mat - Midnight Blue:
I bought this mat last year, and it still looks new. I usually cover it with a yoga towel to keep it in great shape. The mat is so thick and cushy that it has been a life-saver for my bad wrists. Down dog used to be painful, but using this mat, I don't even need to wear my wrist braces.

Comments about Jade Fusion Yoga Mat - Midnight Blue:
So I ordered my P90X DVDs and then headed out shopping for a few items. I ended up at REI and stared at their yoga section for a while as not only is there a 90 minute yoga session but several other P90X sessions that recommend a mat. I saw the Jade Yoga mat with their minimal packaging that was obviously printed on recycled paper. It declared the mat as the ultimate or the last mat you'll ever buy, something like that. I pulled it out of the bin and couldn't believe how heavy it was. I'm pushing 200 lbs and hate having my spine make direct contact with anything so I thought the heavy padding would be just the ticket. I won't lie, I did gasp when I saw the [$] price tag. Between the thickness of the mat, the 'Made in the USA' label and the low impact rubber used for the mat, this is a put your money where your mouth is kind of purchase. If you complain about big companies shipping jobs overseas and then do all of your shopping at [...], you're part of the problem. If you cringe at deforestation but grab the cheapest mat you can find, you're not helping.OK, so your conscience can rest easy about the purchase, what about your back and feet? I have now used the Jade Yoga mat for a 90 yoga session, a 20 minute ab routine, a 60 minute cardio routine and a 60 minute martial arts routine and I can easily declare this mat as a winner. The flimsy thing my wife bought for her yoga sessions is nothing compared to the Jade mat. It's so comfortable, my daughter actually slept on it last night.
