Thai mats are wider and thicker than shiatsu mats. Thai massage is an interactive style of massage in which the practitioner leverages his or her body over the client rather than using solely the hands. Therefore a larger mat is essential. Blue Lotus Yoga thai mats are handmade and measure 60"x 84" x 3". They are filled with fine quality cotton batting and have a durable cotton canvas casing. A washable removable cover protects the inner mat. Two ties are attached to one end to secure it for storage.
