I have no other data point for comparison, this being my first mat; but I'm satisfied within all reasons. I definitely thought more than twice before buying, for fear of it turning out to be a smelly, slippery, too-thin, good-looking good-for-nothing-else. I was eventually still overcome by its charming looks, and so far I love it! The thickness turns out to be pretty acceptable (I'm doing it on carpet though); it's still smelling strongly (after 3-4 days) when I put my face next to it, but oh well, it's better than the air of Shanghai (where I'm from).
