I bought this mat almost two months ago and have used it twice a week since. The pro is that it definitely has extra cushioning and feels good underfoot. The con, however, is its greasy coating. It feels greasier than any other mat I've bought, and I've felt like I have to fight to keep my stability in many postures. A wash in cool-ish water helped a bit, but there's still an unpleasant slipperiness to it. I'll try a light rub of vinegar & water next and see if that makes more of a difference.

Slippery even after washing
I bought this mat in Black a year and a half ago and had trouble with the slipping out of the package. After I wiped it down with vinegar water it was fine. Super Sticky and nice and thick with out being to heavy to carry around. BUT I just bought a second mat in blue to keep in the car so I wouldn't have to keep lugging my first mat around to yoga classes and no matter how many times I wash this new one down I cant get it to stop slipping. There definitely seems to be an inconsistency

Good value for the price. Nice thickness. Only I still occasionally slide on this mat, and it's supposed to be non-slip. I do like the thickness, and although it's latex free it still has that odor, which I'm hoping will fade in time.

not in love
Read the reviews, bought the mat. After 3 months it still isn't sticky enough for a good downward facing dog w/o my hands sliding. Daily use. I like the thickness, but I'm not in love with it and am looking for a better option.

2nd review
My partner loved my Dragonfly so much that i decided to purchase another one for her. I recently compared my mat to a more costly Hugger Mugger Tapas Performance and the Dragonfly is actually a little thicker and has more density. Love this mat!
