Gaiam Essentials 2/5" Thick (10mm) Yoga & Pilates, Fitness & Exercise Mat with Easy-Cinch Carrier Strap Cusion Support For Fitness and Gym Workouts

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.

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.

Great yoga mat! It’s sturdy and comfortable, and gives great support. I don’t slip and slide and it’s been a perfect solution for me for yoga class. I like the carrying strap too!

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.

I own Rooted Light Wellness, LLC and I love this yoga mat. It’s nice and soft, thick, excellent quality and love all the color choices! Grateful for this purchase and great product!!

Have had my yoga mat for several months now and use it constantly. It is thick enough to comfortably cushion and has held up well. Still looks like new. I like that you can roll it, attach the velcro strap and easily transport it. Easy to take to a class. Liked it so much I got another for my husband to use. He's 6 ft tall and it works for him too.

Use it for my exercise class & it’s comfy & thick enough for floor exercises! Buy it

This yoga mat is gigantic and extra squishy! It’s amazing for stretching. I’m 5’3” and it gives me a ton of space to work with, my boyfriend is 6’2” and it’s big enough for him to stretch out as well!

El tapete es uno de los mejores del mercado para hacer ejercicio. Ya sea para hacer yoga, pilates, calistecnia, etc. este tapete es de lo más cómodo que puedes comprar. En lo personal me gustan los tapetes gruesos, acolchonados y este cumple perfectamente. Y con sus múltiples opciones de color, creo que está más que excelente para quien busque un tapete. Además, el producto llegó a tiempo, sin problemas ni daños.

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