## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does 2/5 mean? Couldn't you just say that it is less than a half of an inch and therefor not really thick at all?**
A: 2/5" (0.4") is 10.16mm. Most mats are 1/4" which is 6mm. It is easier to compare mat thickness in millimeters than in fractions of an inch. So, this mat is a lot thicker and will give more cushion.

**Q: Do you know how long it takes to offgas? I just got mine and it's really smelly, thanks!**
A: New yoga mats may have a bit of smell at first, but it is completely harmless! The smell will fade with time and use, however, cleaning the mat can quickly speed up this process. We recommend washing the mat with a yoga mat wash or a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water. Then let the mat air dry. It should take no longer than 2-3 days maximum. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at customerservice@gaiam.com and we would be happy to help provide further instruction or answer additional questions. Thank you!

**Q: Is it really for yoga? Does it have good grip on both sides?**
A: I use it for yoga. Has a great grip on both sides and extra thick padding to reduce pressure in certain poses. Also great for enhancing balance as the thick foam forces you to focus on balance.

**Q: Will it fit in a yoga bag 26 wide 6 diameter?**
A: No, it’s much thicker.

*by D***N on 4 April 2025*

Good quality overall. Scratches a little but so far its holding up. It's a good thickness (some of the thicker ones compress too much). Will buy again if it holds up well over time. Update: have been using regularly for workouts and yoga for a couple weeks now and it's been great. If you have any knee issues, it may be a tad soft. It's not as bad as thicker ones but I can feel my knee sinking in during certain stretches and it's slightly uncomfortable. I have a very thin mat that I'm adding underneath for yoga to avoid this and so far it's been perfect. If you have a softer floor underneath that may help. If you have knee issues- you may want to try to find one that's a bit denser and thinner so the knee doesn't sink in. Hope this review was helpful!
