Gaiam Essentials 2 5 Thick 10mm Yoga Pilates Fitness Exercise Mat with Easy-Cinch Carrier Strap Cushion Support For

Absolutely love this toga mat. Its nice and thick but also comfortable. I don't really do much of any workouts with shoes on, just barefoot, and the mat holds up really well. It fits my size comfortably and I'm 5'2 and only 115lbs. I have plenty of extra room on top and bottom. Read more

I've owned 4 yoga mats by 3 companies over the years. This is by far the most comfortable, especially on wood floors where I need extra cushion for floor exercises that put direct pressure on my knees - especially a single knee. This is the only yoga mat I have where the pressure points are never uncomfortable. It is soft but firmly resilient and grippy enough for my feet and hands. It's also very light and rolls up very easily. The color is lovely. I'm very sensitive to smells but noticed none with this (the navy version). Super happy with this mat - am buying another one so I don't have to carry it back and forth between workout areas. Read more

Good quality yoga mat overall. I expected it to be a bit thicker, but it still works well. It’s not entirely non-slip, so if you’re doing hot Pilates or yoga, I’d recommend wearing grippy socks. It also comes with a carrier, which is a nice bonus and makes it easy to transport. Read more

If you’re looking for the ideal yoga mat to support a variety of workouts, the Gaiam Essentials thick yoga mat is a fantastic option. Its substantial thickness ensures you never feel the hard points on floors, providing comfort whether you’re practicing yoga, pilates, weight lifting, or stretching.

I found it especially convenient to bring along to local gyms or studios that lack equipment, as it tucks away easily and is light enough to carry wherever your fitness journey takes you. Overall, the Gaiam Essentials thick yoga mat is a great addition to any workout routine, combining comfort, versatility, and portability in one well-designed product. Read more
