Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased the 85 inch in Black Sage. The color was so green it was almost black. More like a forest green. I really did not care for the color, but perfect for my husband. I ended up getting the color Sensation as pink is my favorite color. I adore the color! I am 5'8 so it was not completely necessary for me to have the longer length, but...I REALLY LOVE having the extra length to stretch out on and not have my head or feet on the floor ever! I chose the pro because of the cushioning and the lifetime warranty. It is not squishy at all just dense and having hardwood floors, the cushioning is just amazing. Yes it is heavy to lug around, but I do not mind because I drive to class. Getting the mat into a regular mat bag quickly after a class is not a fun task so I found a cute canvas tote bag from target that it is super easy to slip into to and from class and does not have to be perfectly rolled to fit. I read a ton of reviews on people having slipping problems on the mat. I did purchase some coarse sea salt and scrubbed my mat after it arrived and the difference was immediate. I scrubbed it first with the sea salt and a washcloth then went over it with a stiff brush, then wiped it down with clean water. I took my time and did it outside in the sun as the salt is very messy. I live in WI so sun is rare this time of year... I let it dry in the sun for about an hour and it definitely made a immediately noticeable difference on the grip. The next day I went over it again with a scotch brite scrub pad (green pad), and apple cider vinegar mixed with water 50/50. The mat still looks absolutely brand new even after the scrubbing. Yes it was a pain to do this, but it was worth it. (consider it a bonus arm workout because it really is you will sweat.)
