Gaiam Premium Yoga Mat, 6mm Thick Print Mat

I have really been enjoying this mat as part of my at home exercises. I use it for stretching and floor work like abs and glutes. It is very sturdy and provides a nice amount of padding. My knees and joints do not hurt while I am using it. The design is beautiful and the colors look exactly like they did online. It has a slightly sticky feel that helps me keep my grip during different poses. I also like how lightweight it is. It is very easy to roll up and move around the house or take with me to a class. This is a quality product for a very good price.

I have been doing yoga for over 10 years and have cycled through my fair share of yoga mats. I’ve had the expensive Lululemon mats, and although the designs are cool and they are durable, they stain easily, are super heavy to lug around (6+ lbs for the 6 mm ones), and are NOT non-slip (in my opinion, even though they—along with nearly all yoga mats—are marketed as being non-slip). I have never had an issue with staining, weight, or slipping on Gaiam mats. I actually started yoga with a very inexpensive Gaiam mat, which got the job done but wasn’t thick enough to support during certain poses (like boat pose and others when you are resting on one knee) and it fell apart after using it 1-3x a week for a year (the areas where my hands and feet are placed in downward dog started ripping up and little pieces kept falling off), so I was hesitant to go back to a Gaiam. This mat, however, is more premium than the one I had before. I love that it is offered in so many different colors and styles. It’s beautiful, lightweight yet thick for excellent support, and sticky enough to hold poses. As for durability, only time will tell, but from other reviews, it seems to hold up well. I may even buy another one for home use if they go on sale for Black Friday 😊😊😊

This yoga mat is really comfortable and feels supportive during workouts. The extra thickness is perfect for my knees and joints and it doesn’t slip while exercising. I also love the design it looks beautiful and feels high quality. A great mat for yoga!

I am addicted to the ocean so I did love ocean design I chose to order. My ocd noticed the design stops about half an inch before the end of the mat but it doesn’t really effect the overall design. The mat itself is perfect size. (I’m 5’5) I enjoy that it’s thick but not slippery because of the texture because when I do yoga on hard surfaces my back and knees hurt. Even though quarantine has me only doing yoga on my carpet at home I’m sure I’ll appreciate this feature in the future when I go back to classes and outdoor yoga. One weird thing that I’m sure is normal with a lot of packaged mats (idk) - it has a weird smell that has finally started subsiding about two weeks after I opened it. I cleaned it with Lysol wipes and sprayed my favorite perfume on it too haha. The only teeny tiny downside I noticed is that the topside has far more grip than the bottom side so during certain transitions and movements the mat scoots, folds, or flaps easily. Overall I’m so happy with this new mat! I definitely do recommend it for an affordable but good quality and nice looking investment.

As other reviews said, it reeked of plastic smell like a fart after eating a slab of steak. So I washed it and hung it dry for 3 days (slept with an open window and a box fan running constantly). Today, the 3rd day after pickup, the smell is completely gone. Overall, I am satisfied with the product. Good colors, smell went away rather quickly, and it cushions the tile floor quite well. I can stretch out my back on the floor without my knee bones threatening a revolution. Furthermore, perhaps because of me washing and hanging and stepping on it for occasional foot support, it does not slip around...at least on my floor. If you don't mind the initial setup, definitely a product you should consider.

I love my new Gaiam yoga mat! I recently joined a new studio and the focus is on hot yoga. I love it, but my old mat wasn't grippy enough or thick enough for my knees at this point in life, and I didn't want to have to carry my extra mat that I use at home. This mat is good quality, the perfect length and width for my 5' 5" body, and it's easy to roll up and carry to class. The cushioning is perfect; it's enough to protect my knees on a hard surface, without sacrificing grip or making it harder to carry. I use my own carry strap so I didn't need to worry about a mat that came with one. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could, only because it gets a tiny bit slippery on my hands at the sweatiest part of the workout, but I think most yoga mats will do that. Would buy it again in another color!

I do all levels and advanced vinyasa yoga. This mat is thick enough that I don’t feel the wooden floors of the studio digging into me, but also thin enough that I don’t have to worry too much about it potentially affecting my balance. I have lupus and have issues with my joints, so I wanted something with a little bit of cushion. I couldn’t find anything reasonable, both size/thickness wise and budget wise. I eventually came across this mat and decided to give it a try. I’ve found that it’s done a lot to help make me feel comfortable and to be confident in my posture and footing. The design is very nice, and even after over a year of regular use, the design is still very visible. I haven’t had any of the mat itself flake or run away and it’s still in one piece. It doesn’t show signs of wear. It’s easy to roll up and carry. It's great about not stretching while you’re using it for yoga (I’ve had mats in the past where my downward dog would become weird looking push-ups). It’s not going to start slipping across the floor. I don’t find my feet slipping, either, but my hands sometimes do (that might be more user error than the mat as I tend to sweat a lot from my hands). One downside would be that, because it’s a bit of a thicker mat, if it’s rolled up for too long or left in a hot car, the edge of the mat where you started the roll might curl upwards. I usually place a block or my phone at the edge and it holds it down without a problem and tends to flatten by the end of class.

Love this mat! Non-slip is great! Easily probable, flattening well and is light weight. Thin so not great knee support

Fab mat just what I wanted. Nice quick delivery and well packed. Thanks

Avevo già provato un tappetino di questa marca, e adesso l’ho comprato per me. Ottimo per yoga e fitness, buono lo spessore per evitare fastidio alle articolazioni. Bellissima colorazione. Consegnato nei tempi di con cura.

Çok kaliteli ve iyi bir ürün

Very sturdy, cute, and just what i was looking for. Perfect length and firmness as well.

Bellissimo tappetino. Adoro il colore e la fantasia. Aderenza buona. Spesso ed versatile. Lunghezza buona per le persone fino a 1.70. Come nella presentazione. Eccelente qualità per il rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo. E il più economico su mercato, non il massimo per praticare yoga ma è un buon compromesso se non si desidera spendere tanto. Io lo uso per yoga ma anche per esercizi.
