Gaiam Yoga Mat - Insta-Grip Extra Thick & Dense Textured Non Slip Exercise Mat for All Types of Yoga & Floor Workouts, 68" L x 24" W

Best yoga mat I’ve ever owned. It hits all the check boxes. Super grippy top and bottom. Great for carpets. Very dense material doesn’t squish even when you put all your weight on it but still very comfortable. Be aware that the texture is different from just about any other mat you’ve probably tried. It doesn’t bother me at all because it provides a fantastic grip. If you’re on the fence, GET IT. You’ll be so happy you found it. Cons: 1. It smells like heavy duty plastic or maybe rubber. Its strong and i hope it dissipates quickly. 2. Pattern isn’t my favorite. Would love a solid color or position markers instead. 3. Will not travel well because of its thickness, density and materials. All the reasons why its so amazing. Probably fine to take to a studio but not on a trip.

I recommend this mat. I've been using it for ten days. It doesn't move on my wood floor, rolls out flat, and is made of a dense material that seems very durable. It did smell terrible when I first received it, but I left it unrolled a few days as some other reviewers suggested, and the smell dissipated to the point where it still has a slight smell, but it doesn't bother me at all.

It’s a good looking mat and the thickness is just enough without being too much. When my hands and feet are dry, it has great grip. It does not stretch—excellent. But if you sweat, and I do when I’m doing a yoga workout, it is very slippery. Bummer. I have still not found a mat that doesn’t have this problem, or I would have rated it lower.

I bought this mat at a local store and liked it so well I ordered a second one here on Amazon for my daughter to use. It’s nice and thick and I’ve had zero issues with slipping during class.

Yoga Mat -Insta-Grip Extra Thick & Dense Textured Non Slip Exercise Mat

Great grip. I don't slide around like I did with my old mat. Might be a little short for a taller person, but otherwise a great mat.

I used to use those super thick 1in yoga mats because I have a sensitive back and I always felt like I was laying directly on the floor when I used normal mats— but for a variety of reasons (aesthetic, risk of wrist hyperflexion, etc) have since decided to graduate to a thinner, less clunky/less squishy mat and also one that would be non-slip/extra grip etc since I do hot yoga (<< this was my main reason for purchasing a new mat). When I first pulled this one out of the box and tried it at home, I actually really liked it — it is very dense, firm, and still offered great support for my back and knees. I was excited to take this to my hot yoga class but literally as soon as I got into downward dog, I was slippin’ and slidin’ like no tomorrow. I had to lay down my sweat towel under my hands just so I could continue with class! While I love the firmness/density/thickness of this mat, the main purpose was for it to provide the non-slip/extra grip support that my previous mat lacked. Now I have to go and buy a special towel to pair with this mat and make it usable for my hot yoga class, which defeats the purpose. While I’m not going to return this mat, I am still feeling pretty misled and disappointed by this purchase.

Love everything about this doesn’t slip at all doing e exercise or yoga

مره حلوة

Good cushioning, good grip to the floor. Will not slip, so very safe.

Me encantó! Es justo lo que esperaba, el material si es antideslizante, evidentemente si hay mucha sudoración en las manos por ejemplo, si tiendes a resbalar, pero a comparación con otras esterilla, esta se siente más segura.

Esta súper bien el material, grueso pero a la vez suave para practicar yoga, además que las orillas redondas facilitan la limpieza.

Me encanta! Lo uso diario! Excelente resistencia y bastan grueso
