Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat Fitness & Exercise Mat with Easy-Cinch Yoga Mat Carrier Strap, 72"L x 24"W x 2/5 Inch Thick

This Gaiam Essentials yoga mat is very comfortable thanks to its thickness—it’s great for protecting your knees and back. Since I spend many hours sitting, I use it to stretch and do relaxation exercises, and it really helps with tension in my legs and back.It comes with a strap, which makes it easy to store and carry, and the size is great even if you’re tall.Just be aware that it can get slightly slippery on smooth floors, especially if you sweat. For that reason, I recommend not leaving it laid out all the time on slick surfaces, as it might shift a little during use.Overall, I really like it and use it daily. Good quality for the price.

If you are someone who is tall, this is a good yoga mat because it is longer than many you’ll find out there. I appreciate the thickness of the material as well, even though it doesn’t look like a triple decker thick yoga mat, it is! I have owned this and used daily for my morning yoga and weight work for about two months now. I’m about 175 pounds and haven’t encountered any discomfort where I felt like my knees or elbows are pressing in the ground. Especially in the knees, that cushion is so uncomfortable if it isn’t thick enough. Don’t worry, with this one, it won’t be an issue. It is grippy to the floor and the ridges nicely catch your feet when in difficult poses. I am also glad it didn't come with that gross rubbery/plastic smell. It folds up nicely and has a little carrying strap if needed.10/10!

This is a nice, thick yoga mat. I have a more expensive mat for inside classes and I wanted to get another mat for outside classes that was more reasonably priced in case it got ruined…this mat is just as nice as my other one. I’m very impressed. It seems really durable

This is definitely the most comfortable Matt I’ve ever had, purchased this one back in October 2024.I took a star away because of how easy it wears down over time, I have another matt from 2020 that has no marks or dents (however not nearly as comfortable or squishy) and I really expected this one to at least make it a few years with me.I work out anywhere from 30min-1 hour a day every day doing calisthenics, Pilates, or yoga, so unsure if maybe my usage is more excessive than others, but now I’m looking for a new matt and am torn on trying to buy a better brand hoping it’s just as comfortable and more durable, or just buying this one again knowing I’ll need to replace it in a few months 🙈

Love it use it daily. It's so soft I find my self falling a sleep on it after a work out

love the mat very comfortable

This Mat is nice and thick, but still lightweight and not too bulky to take to class, great for tender knees and wrists and no bad smell when I opened it!

This may is great quality. Perfect thickness for me to use in my pilates classes.
