Extra-Thick Cushioning for Joint Comfort : Made with 10mm (2/5″) high-density NBR foam, this mat delivers plush cushioning that helps reduce pressure on knees, hips, and joints—ideal for beginners, low-impact yoga, Pilates, stretching, floor exercises, and home workouts on hard surfaces.
Comfort-Focused Surface for Controlled Movement : Textured foam surface helps reduce slipping on most hard floors during dry workouts and everyday exercise. The softer, cushioned feel prioritizes comfort and shock absorption over firmness, making it a great choice for floor-based and low-impact routines.

Versatile for Home Fitness & Recovery : Popular for yoga, Pilates, stretching, physical therapy, core workouts, and general home fitness. The extra-thick foam provides comfort on wood, tile, or concrete floors and is well-suited for regular bodyweight use.

The brand to beat? Seems like it. Thick and safe. Nice and grippy
I needed the thickest yoga mat I could find because I have terrible balance and I was sure to take a tumble sooner not later. I shopped diligently. I checked out Costco – great price but the thickness wasn’t there. I scoured Amazon comparing price and thickness. Turns out the thicker mats were priced significantly higher than Gaiam. Now who knows what deal will make my results obsolete.Well I unpacked the mat and checked it out with a few poses. Yup, right then and there within one minute I took a tumble. Luckily I landed on the mat. It did it’s job and only my dignity was hurt. No bruises except to my ego.But with my horrid balance it could easily have turned out differently.I think I should buy at least two more. Cuz I ain’t going to land perfectly every time. And no more standing balance poses for me.With the critical safety feature well demonstrated and cost effective come other issues.The mat is a relatively standard size for a quality yoga mat. I have certainly tried to save money and ended up with smaller and thinner mats. But back then my balance was significantly better and the trade off seemed reasonable.It seems to have a permanent curve in the mat. Makes it easy to roll but there is definitely an up and down surface spreading the mat. The harness to hold the mat is very secure, holds well but not the most convenient on the planet.The surface is nice and grippy very important to me. The mat has just enough give that you can sink your toes in a little bit. Excellent! Boy do I need that.Assuming I can stay balanced the whole time this is a comfortable (!) mat and if I just bounce off then you should not experience pain from extended standing poses.

Best mat
Thick and comfy on the knees. Rolls up easy and the strap leaves enough room to fold in a gym towel

Thick and cushioned and relaxing — just ask my dog!
Fantastic cushiony yoga mat. For larger people or those with tender joints, the extra thickness really makes a difference in being able to move through poses with less pain and discomfort. It rolls easily, though not as tightly as thinner mats, and comes with a velcro strap to keep it rolled, which is nice, but I think a simple drawstring bag would have been easier to actually keep it contained. Because of the thickness, it’s not always easy to get the velcro strap secured around it.I actually have two of these, one for me and one for my dog, who, in spite of multiple luxurious dog beds, sometimes prefers the floor. But he’s old and has stiff joints, and it’s not always easy for him to get up and down from our hardwood floors, so I bought him his own yoga mat, and he loves it. The downside is he has some mild bladder control issues, and the mat has developed an odor from occasional leaks, and none of my usual pet odor solutions have worked. Still, as I said, he loves it, so it’s not going anywhere. It’s just a slightly stinky yoga mat now.

The Long Mat
The mat is great. It’s very long (if you are over 5’9 you may want to get something longer) soft and provides good cushioning. I do core exercises, pilates and yoga with mineMy only complaint is that I would love for it to be wider but great buy!

Durable, comfy yoga mat
Have had my yoga mat for several months now and use it constantly. It is thick enough to comfortably cushion and has held up well. Still looks like new. I like that you can roll it, attach the velcro strap and easily transport it. Easy to take to a class. Liked it so much I got another for my husband to use. He’s 6 ft tall and it works for him too.

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. The mat delivers great cushioning without sacrificing stability, enabling a perfect workout session every time.Portability is another highlight—rolling up the mat is effortless, making storage and transport simple. 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.

This yoga mat is thick, long lasting material, and is great for yoga.
I bought this yoga mat a few years ago and I used to use it everyday, unlike now, I barely use it now because I don’t find hte time to do yoga like I used too. I’m always working and going out. But now that I pulled it out of the closet it brings me back memories. So now thats it out I will be doing my yoga workouts after work. I really need yoga in my life rite now because it helps with your mental health. for 7 years now my mental health ha been bad. Im not hte smae way I used to be ful of energy and excitement. This mat is perfectg to tkae to yoga classes or just keep at home. i bought a big yoga mat because I wanted to do a front flip and its perfect for that. I can do one now.

Bien épais pour la pratique et pas trop encombrant s’il est enroulé.
