Gaiam Essentials Thick 10mm Yoga Mat with Easy-Cinch Carrier Strap, Black

I wanted a mat that has extra padding that I could use on the wood floor - this is it! It's perfect and the length is great too. Love the orange!

Great mat! I was using a yoga mat which did not provide much knee support. This mat!!! Is amazing no more aching knees pure comfort and long and wide enough for all my strength training circuits. I am a tall gal 5'9 and this mat is good enough!

This is my first yoga mat, so I don't really have any basis for comparison. However this has been working well for me, so I'm glad I purchased this product. Being brand new, it is offgassing a scent that is reminiscent of a busy wharf at low tide, but I'm sure that will dissipate over time. All in all, this is a purchase I am happy I made, and I'm happy my friend recommended this brand of Yoga mat to me.

Perfect size and thickness especially for my knees!

The mat came a little bit damaged and the mat doesn't have very good grip. It's a strange texture to have your hands on and it's very very static-y. I realize it's not a yoga mat, but I would still like more grip for when I'm on my hands. I am using this now as a cushion under my regular yoga mat to help my knees since it is too static-y to exercise on directly. It's very squishy. For the price I can't complain too much

So far this seems to work well for me it's thick enough so it doesn't hurt my knees on a wooden floor. I can put a chair on it and the indentations go away. My only complaint is the smell weird odor

I use this mat for a lot of floor workouts that involve being on my back and knees. It's relieved all the pressure I had previously and is so comfortable. I would give it 5 stars because I like it so much, but it has a slight odor to it, which has been a little distracting, and doesn't provide very much grip for hands. I put another thin yoga mat on top of it and that has helped with those two issues.

Great heavy mat! I got a thinner gaiam mat that I liked but slipped a lot on my living room carpet where I workout. This one is very thick and supportive so less slip. It does still curl a tad on the ends and the foam has chipped a small amount after a few uses. Overall recommend!

Ok but much thicker and much wider and longer is better.

You get what you pay for, and you aren't getting/doing much of either. This mat is cheap. It's Noticeably starting to degrade after only one use. Disappointed because I expected Gaiam to offer quality mats.
