Review on Variegated Nature Ultra Yoga Mat From Hugger Mugger - Enhanced Cushion, Durability, Sticky Grip, Non-Slip Surface, Lightweight Design. by Damon Murray

I'm not sure what the smelly reviews are about . maybe their mats were delivered by unkept UPS guys, who knows. (Though as we all know they're usually pretty cute.) Mine arrived yesterday and didn't smell like much of anything and was in all other ways perfect. I'm pretty short -- 5'4" -- so I can't speak to how well it would work for a tall person, but for me 68" is plenty roomy. The comfort level is great, and the stickyness is just right: Grippable but not icky, and no slipperyness at all. Plus I get to make up all these words like "grippable" and "stickyness," so that's fun. I wound up going with with the green, and the color (though I was hoping for a purple or magenta) is fine: The gradations are more a little more mellow than pictured, but mine definitely wasn't the "solid green" another commentator got. All in all, recommended.
