I just received this mat yesterday and used it for the first time today. I was a little worried about smell because I've gotten a few different yoga mats that absolutely stunk like chemicals for a very long time. First let me say, I have a nose like a bear…everyone says that because I can smell everything regardless of how faint. This mat had the very faintest of smell. It didn't smell toxic, it just smelled new – nothing objectionable. I stood it in my laundry room still coiled, but loosely, for one day. Then I wiped it down with lysol wipes, just because I'm a germaphobe and my face will be on it. I let it dry and then I used it. Don't let fear of smell keep you from buying this mat. It is a fantastic size, as I could do many positions without hanging off the mat at all. The thickness is decent. It is not very cushiony so if you are hoping for a soft mat, this isn't for you. I don't need soft, but I wanted some decent cushion for my limbs. This is totally fine in that respect. I am very glad I bought this mat and I will use it daily.
