    This mat is exactly what I needed for stretching! It's thick and has good grip, though a little narrower than expected. Great for the price!

    New Year!! New me (in progress)! I bought this yoga mat for my recently downloaded wall pilates (for women over 40) workouts. No judging! I'm on day 8...BUT this mat is exactly what I intended it for. Perfect thickness makes it easy to roll-up but still provides back comfort during wall pilates. When unrolled the mat takes shape with no curls at the end quickly. No pungent smell or strong odor. Overall: exactly what I needed at an affordable price.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Thick and Comfy, but Easily Tears

    Pros:
    - This mat is nice and thick which provides good cushion on a hard floor.
    - The carry strap is a nice touch, although I rarely use it.
    - Relatively affordable, although in this case you really do get what you pay for.

    Cons
    - After one light stretching section I noticed the mat had tears and gouges in it where my finger or toe nails touched. For reference I DO NOT have long nails.
    - Slippery. I easily slide around on these even when I’m not sweating.

    Personally, I’m throwing this away and investing a bit more for something more durable and functional.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Mat
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2025
    The value for the money here is a no brainer. I got this as a starter mat, because I wasn’t sure how much I would keep up with yoga, and it has served me really well. Since purchasing, I have fallen in love with yoga, and practice enough at this point to invest in a thinner, more expensive mat. This mat provided the literal foundation for my practice, and provided great support as I learned. The strap it comes with feels flimsy, but it managed several long walks to the studio without ever coming undone or slipping. If you’re doing hot yoga, I highly recommend a towel (this mat doesn’t do great with excess sweat), but otherwise this mat is great for beginners, or someone needing a bit more joint support than typical mats provide.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatable Durability and Comfort

    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!
