Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat Fitness & Exercise Mat with Easy-Cinch Yoga Mat Carrier Strap, 72"L x 24"W x 2/5 Inch Thick

If you are someone who is tall, this is a good yoga mat because it is longer than many you’ll find out there. I appreciate the thickness of the material as well, even though it doesn’t look like a triple decker thick yoga mat, it is! I have owned this and used daily for my morning yoga and weight work for about two months now. I’m about 175 pounds and haven’t encountered any discomfort where I felt like my knees or elbows are pressing in the ground. Especially in the knees, that cushion is so uncomfortable if it isn’t thick enough. Don’t worry, with this one, it won’t be an issue. It is grippy to the floor and the ridges nicely catch your feet when in difficult poses. I am also glad it didn't come with that gross rubbery/plastic smell. It folds up nicely and has a little carrying strap if needed.10/10!

This Mat is nice and thick, but still lightweight and not too bulky to take to class, great for tender knees and wrists and no bad smell when I opened it!

It has a lot of cushion and helped a lot with my core workout. Yes it has a slight smell but it wasn’t over powering and just needs to air out. I’m happy with my purchase.

Thick and cushy, which is just what I wanted. Now I can do the child's pose or practice my splits without bruising my knees. I will say I have noticed the dents and stuff other reviews mentioned, so I doubt the overall durability of the mat but for my purposes and for the price I don't have an issue with it.

Has a nice thickness for getting on the floor.

This is a great yoga mat. It’s very thick and soft solid construction. I bought two of them one for me and one for my wife and I love them. They don’t slip around on the floor or anything else like that.

Does the job and my dog seems to like it.

So very happy with this thick, soft, extra long pad!Thank you
