 good quality Nov 01, 2011
By longmontmatt
"longmontmatt"
I had the Harbinger 3/8" mat before this one, so can compare the two. This one is made of a thicker foam, and it does not slide around on wood floors (or at least only a little). Big plus when doing sit-ups. In the picture it looks like it is ribbed, but the ribs are actually very small, so not anything to consider one way or the other. I actually thought the bottom would be ribbed, and that was why it would not move around, but that is not the case. It is just that the foam is not slick like the Harbinger mat.
The 'carrying case' is just the straps you see in the picture. They slide off/on the mat, which is nice, as you can just set them aside. With the Harbinger mat the straps are glued on, and that did me no good as I most often have the mat unrolled at home, and the straps would get in the way.
All-in-all this is a higher quality mat than the Harbinger mat. If I was to knock it, I guess I could say that the foam is almost too dense. But I actually like the fact that my hips, etc, will never make contact with the floor (I'm 170 lbs, and with all my weight on one knee I would say that I'm still at least an 1/8" off the floor).

 Very THICK Mat - Pros & Cons Dec 06, 2011
By Happy Shopping
"Okesene"
I tend to double up on yoga mats when practicing, so this mat is perfect when doing poses involving resting on your knees. However, this mat is not suitable for postures that focus on and involve balance. With the mat being so thick and well-cushioned, I found my feet sinking deeper into the mat and leaving an impression for the remainder of yoga class. Also, during certain poses, the mat will make a "squeaking" sound when adjusting your stances and postures. I would recommend this mat for anyone specifically looking for cushion & comfort. Also, when rolled up, the mat is VERY THICK bundled up and may not fit within most yoga carrying bags or cases.

Perfect Yoga Mat! Nov 02, 2011
By Crystal
This is a wonderful yoga mat especially for the price! I am impressed with the thickness of the mat; very comfortable! My boyfriend (who already owned his own mat) liked mine so much he ordered one for himself. I even have a hard time keeping my black lab (he has a bad hip) off of it; I may just have to order one for him too!
The carrying strap makes toting the mat around very convenient. I noticed when reading reviews for other brands of mats that a lot of people complained of a smell, these mats don't smell at all! Very pleased with the product and highly recommend it!

My Knees No Longer Hurt While Working Out Jan 10, 2012
By HDLEE
I bought the ProSource Premium 1/2 inch Yoga Mat because my knees were hurting when I used the thinner mats the gym provided. I knew I needed to purchase my own mat and that it needed to be thicker than what I was using if I wanted to save my knees and still perform all the yoga positions. This does the trick. I am able to do everything and without pain in my knees. I strongly advise it for anyone with knee issues.

Great Yoga Mat Nov 01, 2011
By dejuen
Mat is thicker than I thought. Sometimes feels awkward carrying it around - like whoa, that chick is carrying a hardcore mat - but it's totally worth it for protecting your knees!
