Overview
The Gaiam yoga mat is a 5mm thick, 68 x 24 inch PVC mat weighing 2.36 pounds, with a dual sided sticky texture for yoga, Pilates and floor workouts. It's built as a lightweight, everyday mat rather than a thick restorative pad.
- 5mm thick PVC mat weighing 2.36 lbs
- Standard 68 x 24 inch size
- 6P-free PVC, free of six phthalates
- Includes access to Gaiam's online yoga platform
Who it's for
Suits yoga and Pilates practitioners who want a lightweight, easy to roll mat for home or studio use. Less suited to those who need heavy knee cushioning or plan to do hot, sweaty sessions without a towel layer.
Pros and cons
- Grips hardwood floors reliably in normal conditions
- Rolls tight and travels easily at 2.36 lbs
- Print holds up for years without wearing off
- Gets slippery once sweaty, per hot yoga users
- Thin for anyone needing extra knee cushioning
- Plastic smell out of the box that takes weeks to fully clear for some
Performance notes
The 6P-free PVC construction is described as free of six harmful phthalates, and any packaging odor is meant to clear after airing the mat out for a day or two.
