Review: If Comfort is Your Priority Get a Gaiam Yoga Mat-Today! - This 10mm mat is by far superior to the thinner mats I've used in the past. The thicker mat makes all the difference in cushioning and comfort, ideal for your joints, knees, wrists, etc. The thicker mat also adds insulation from cold and hard flooring. I love the easy roll up and velcro straps and handle. Even better, the colors are extraordinary. Gaiam is all about quality.
Review: Quality Thick Yoga Mat - My granddaughter selected this yoga mat as a gift for her 10th birthday. We chose this specific model because its thickness provides excellent cushioning, and the textured surface helps with stability during workouts. I especially appreciate the included carrying strap, which makes it easy to transport to class or store away. While there were many color options, she particularly liked the "French Rose" light pink. This appears to be a high-quality mat that will last for a long time.

## Features

- 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.
- Soft Foam Feel with Easy Care : Crafted from low-odor NBR foam that’s easy to maintain—simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. Initial foam odor may be present when first opened and typically fades after airing out for 24–48 hours.
- 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.
- Lightweight & Easy to Carry : Rolls up quickly and includes an adjustable carrying strap for simple storage and transport between rooms, classes, or workout spaces at home.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does 2/5 mean? Couldn't you just say that it is less than a half of an inch and therefor not really thick at all?**
A: 2/5" (0.4") is 10.16mm. Most mats are 1/4" which is 6mm. It is easier to compare mat thickness in millimeters than in fractions of an inch. So, this mat is a lot thicker and will give more cushion.

**Q: Do you know how long it takes to offgas? I just got mine and it's really smelly, thanks!**
A: New yoga mats may have a bit of smell at first, but it is completely harmless! The smell will fade with time and use, however, cleaning the mat can quickly speed up this process. We recommend washing the mat with a yoga mat wash or a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water. Then let the mat air dry. It should take no longer than 2-3 days maximum. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at customerservice@gaiam.com and we would be happy to help provide further instruction or answer additional questions. Thank you!

**Q: Is it really for yoga? Does it have good grip on both sides?**
A: I use it for yoga. Has a great grip on both sides and extra thick padding to reduce pressure in certain poses. Also great for enhancing balance as the thick foam forces you to focus on balance.

**Q: Will it fit in a yoga bag 26 wide 6 diameter?**
A: No, it’s much thicker.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The brand to beat? Seems like it. Thick and safe. Nice and grippy
*by R***E on January 22, 2026*

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.
