Where to Buy
 

Some yoga mats can cost nearly $100, which may be more than some students are willing to pay. The Yoga Accessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat gets very positive user reviews and at less than $20, it's a real bargain. The mat is 74 inches long and 1/4 inch thick, so it provides more cushioning than the average yoga mat. This is a plus for heavier users and those who need more cushioning for their wrists and knees. Reviewers appreciate the Yoga Accessories mat's plush feel, and they rave about the comfort and stability the mat provides. The Yoga Accessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat is made with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), so it's not an eco-friendly option. On the other hand, PVC is known for its durability, and the yoga mat comes with a limited lifetime warranty. While the vast majority of reviewers are happy with the Yoga Accessories mat, a number of users complain about a strong chemical odor. This odor should diminish with time, but some users say they can never get rid of it completely.

There are few resources available to evaluate budget yoga mats, so Amazon.com remains the best source of information on the Yoga Accessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat and other budget mats. Amazon.com sells a number of yoga mats, and the Yoga Accessories mat gets some of the highest ratings, with the largest number of reviews. Over 230 users review the mat on Amazon.com, providing a wealth of user feedback on this yoga mat.

The video reviews at ExpoTV.com are not very high quality, and it appears that few of the reviewers actually practice yoga on the mat. Still, the videos provide a look at the mat in action so you can gauge thickness and dimensions.
