Why is this mat the same size as the Yoga and Pilate mat, but the weight is only 4lbs, usually this kind of mat weights like 7lbs?

My Manduka does weigh about 4 pounds but other mats that I have previously owned weighed a lot less. I can certainly feel the difference in weight when I carry it to class. I even used to take two mats to double up. The Manduka is by far so much better than any other mats I have used. It is very firm and cushions me without loss of balance.

Hi John! I am not 100% sure the weight. But I can say that it is pretty heavy. I can't imagine it is only 4 lbs. When I compare it to other Mandukas, it is thicker. I love it and would recommend.

The black mat pro is about 7lbs. It's probably just a misprint in the description that you're reading.

Because it is very thick (which is good for the knees). The material with which it is built with contributes to the heavy weight. But I'm sure you can carry it with no problem at all, especially if you buy it with the bag. The only issue is slipperiness, not the weight.

I would hope you would get the actual mat. I used mine for a treadmill and it is a wonderful mat. I have not had any trouble out of mine and I would order it again.

Much thicker and softer. Also not as long as most yoga mats. I would not use this for yoga.

The travel mat only come in 1/8 inch. If you want a thicker mat get the Harmony pro mat (3/16 inch thick). Jade also makes a super thick mat (5/16 inch) called the Fusion for yoga and pilates - all of these come in 74 inches.

My husband is 6 feet 2 inches tall. He weighs about 200 pounds. He uses it for exercises similar to Yoga (Chinese Qigong).This is without a doubt the best mat we have found in more than 20 years

This is the regular size mat, 64" x 24", so it should fit in a standard size yoga bag. However, since the mat is thicker than a regular yoga mat, when it is rolled up, gets a bit bulkier. Hope this helps.

There are different sizes of towels. The mat towel is Lon enough to cover your entire yoga mat. The smaller towel is perfect for wiping sweat and is a little leger than a kitchen hand towel. I have both sizes and find them equally useful.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I didn't try it out before I gave it to my nephew for his birthday. He loved the mat though.

I haven't weighed the mat but it's very light. Guess it's approx. 1 lb. or so. It's hard to realize it's there when carried rolled up atop a pack.

The mat has proven to be very durable and comfortable to do floor work on. It's easy to handle and not heavy to move about. I don't know its specific weight.

It's the same length as my older "standard" mat, and yes it fits into my yoga bag. It's a little thicker, so it fills the bag more fully. But I haven't had a problem getting it in or out of the bag I've used for years.

It's not so much thicker as less slippery. I love this mat. My hands used to slide in down dog...now I can use good form and feel strong.

The 72 inch mat weights 15 pounds per web site.. My wife wishes it was at least 6 inches wider

I have no experience with a regular Silpat, so I can't make a comparison. It may not be, because I have experienced some sticking/bread tearing due to the mat's porous design. That's only a guess, though

I'm 250 pounds and work at home. After using my mat for 2 years, it did develop a crack. Buying it again since this is very good quality.

Mat thickness 1/4" (6.2mm) thickness twice as thick as a standard Yoga mat. Mat size 72" x 24" (4" longer than a standard yoga mat) I hope this helps, please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. -Owner of CopyCat Yoga

I have the longer mat and if I guessed I'd say 3-4 lbs, but with the comfort enjoyed from having it in the pack I never even thought to weigh it. Side note, besides backpacking, I mainly pack a kayak for trips, and believe me if it was a burden it would not be included, I do not enjoy paddling with any more weight with me than absolutely necessary, I'm getting old, lol
