I love the Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat! The extra thickness provides excellent cushioning for my joints, making my workouts much more comfortable. It also has a great non-slip surface, which keeps me stable during poses. The included easy-cinch yoga mat carrier strap is a fantastic addition, making it convenient to carry around. This mat is durable, lightweight, and perfect for both home and studio use. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable yoga mat!

This mat is ideal. It's medium thick, comfortable and supportive. İt doesn’t make you feel like on the ground. A bit slippery on the carpet though.

The only main negative thing I’ve seen on my mat is the imprints in my photo from where the strap was holding in for a very long time which is on both sides, but this doesn’t particularly bother me, and it’s just on the very ends of the mat.

The mat itself is a good length for me, and while it is pretty firm, it is much more comfortable than my floor. I tend to get sweaty hands, and even through a few uses I don’t find myself slipping at all, and the mat stays in place.

I know some people were complaining about a smell, but mine hardly smells at all. It does have a rubber smell to it which makes sense, but I only notice it if my face is on or just above the mat, and it’s not super unpleasant and doesn’t bother me. I wouldn’t say the strap itself is necessarily comfortable if you’re gonna sling it over your shoulder because it’s standard Velcro, but it is definitely lightweight and easy to carry, and it doesn’t take up much space when rolled up.

This is my first yoga mat as I’ve just started, so I do have nothing to compare it to, but I am very happy with my purchase. When this one wears out I am likely to buy from this brand again.

The Valuable Opinion
5.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatable Durability and Comfort
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023
The Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat has proven itself to be the epitome of reliability, earning a solid 5-star rating in my book.

Unless you're in the market for a yoga mat to serve as a status symbol or you happen to have some mysterious "brand loyalty" (whatever that is, you weirdo), look no further – this mat delivers unparalleled value for your money. It's not just a basic yoga mat; it's a steadfast companion that has been by my side for three years and still looks as good as new, with only minor wear and tear.

The thickness of the mat provides an exceptional level of comfort during workouts, making every yoga session a joy. The material is not only resilient but also easy to clean, ensuring that it maintains its pristine appearance over time.

The Easy-Cinch Yoga Mat Carrier Strap is a thoughtful addition, making it convenient to transport the mat wherever your fitness journey takes you. It's a testament to Gaiam's commitment to practicality and user convenience.

From downward dogs to intense workouts, this mat has proven its durability through it all. Unlike other mats that show signs of wear after a short period, the Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship.

Additionally, I love the built-in strap to quickly roll up and store the mat away - no fuss.

If you're looking for a reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting yoga mat without the hefty price tag, the Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat is your best bet. It has exceeded my expectations and continues to be an integral part of my fitness routine. Highly recommended!
