The brand to beat? Seems like it. Thick and safe. Nice and grippy
I needed the thickest yoga mat I could find because I have terrible balance and I was sure to take a tumble sooner not later. I shopped diligently. I checked out Costco – great price but the thickness wasn’t there. I scoured Amazon comparing price and thickness. Turns out the thicker mats were priced significantly higher than Gaiam. Now who knows what deal will make my results obsolete.Well I unpacked the mat and checked it out with a few poses. Yup, right then and there within one minute I took a tumble. Luckily I landed on the mat. It did it’s job and only my dignity was hurt. No bruises except to my ego.But with my horrid balance it could easily have turned out differently.I think I should buy at least two more. Cuz I ain’t going to land perfectly every time. And no more standing balance poses for me.With the critical safety feature well demonstrated and cost effective come other issues.The mat is a relatively standard size for a quality yoga mat. I have certainly tried to save money and ended up with smaller and thinner mats. But back then my balance was significantly better and the trade off seemed reasonable.It seems to have a permanent curve in the mat. Makes it easy to roll but there is definitely an up and down surface spreading the mat. The harness to hold the mat is very secure, holds well but not the most convenient on the planet.The surface is nice and grippy very important to me. The mat has just enough give that you can sink your toes in a little bit. Excellent! Boy do I need that.Assuming I can stay balanced the whole time this is a comfortable (!) mat and if I just bounce off then you should not experience pain from extended standing poses.

Cushy and comfortable Yoga Mat
High quality, thick yoga mat. It is plenty long enough, slip resistant, cushy and comfortable. Design is easy to roll up and carry to a class.

Perfect
Gaiam Yoga Mat is a great product and I will highly recommend this yoga mat to anyone who is looking for an affordable yoga mat with great quality. Firstly, this yoga mat is incredibly soft and smooth. It is a perfect addition if you have hardwood floors. Secondly, you don’t have to worry about slipping around everywhere on the yoga mat. Thirdly, it has a perfect amount of thickness to it. If a yoga mat being thick is a top priority for you then I will highly recommend this particular brand. Lastly, the color is beautiful. As someone who enjoys doing yoga and is starting to slowly get back into it I am glad that I was able to buy this product and have a good experience with it. I’m still testing out the yoga mat so I’m hoping that it last a while.Reminder: Although some people may have bad experiences with this yoga mat I would still recommend you try it for yourself to see how you like it. Everyone’s experience is different.

Happy with purchase!
Mat is perfect for me. It arrived quickly. There was no bad smell. It has a few indents from the velco strap, but they a minor and don’t appear to be causing any wear or tear. The mat is thick enough that it keeps my knees and joints from hurting when using it on a very hard floor. It isn’t slippery like many mates I’ve used in the past and that is a definite plus. It is a good quality and I’m sure it will last. I recommend.

Finally, a Mat That Actually Cushions — and Doesn’t Get in the Way
I’ve been through a few yoga and exercise mats over the years, and this one genuinely stands out. The 10mm thickness is no gimmick — you really feel the difference the moment you get down on the floor. My knees and hips thank me every single session, especially on hard wood and tile surfaces where thinner mats just don’t cut it.What also surprised me is the length. It gives you that extra room to move freely without constantly repositioning yourself mid-workout — something I didn’t realize I was missing until I had it.Rolling it up and storing it is effortless. It folds down nicely and the included carrying strap keeps everything tidy. Whether I’m moving it between rooms or tossing it in the car for a class, it’s never a hassle.The surface has a light texture that keeps things controlled during floor exercises and low-impact routines. It’s more comfort-focused than grip-focused, so if you’re doing hot yoga or intense flows, keep that in mind — but for Pilates, stretching, core work, and everyday home workouts, it’s a perfect fit.One minor note: there’s a faint foam smell when you first open it. It aired out within a day or two, so nothing to be concerned about.All in all, great value for what you get. Comfortable, well-sized, easy to carry, and built for everyday use. Absolutely worth it.

Great mat for ailing knees and backs
Extra thick yoga mat is a must if you have any kind of knee or back problems. This gives plenty of cushion between the floor and your body motion during Yoga or Pilates. High quality and value for money.

Non slip and soft
It came with indentions but overall it was still usable. I used it for hot yoga and found it to be non slippery and soft. Shipping and delivery was quick.

Bien épais pour la pratique et pas trop encombrant s’il est enroulé.

I will NOT recommend this mat for non-carpeted floors – it is very slippery against a smooth floor surface (does not have traction with the floor, and feels like you are on ice), as it traps a thin a layer of air between the floor and mat (regardless of which side of the mat you use)All my children have slipped and fallen, to the point where we’ve just thrown the mats out rather than risk further injury.
