Overview
A parent or student unrolling a new Gaiam mat will notice a strong but harmless odor, which the maker says to air out before use. The reversible PVC mat has a textured non-slip surface and cushioned thickness.
The reason to consider it is the cushioned reversible design with a non-slip texture. The limitation is the break-in odor, the sun sensitivity and the lack of a listed weight.
Who it's for
Yoga, Pilates and floor workout users who want some cushioning can use it at home or in class. Anyone sensitive to PVC odors, or who practices outdoors in strong sun, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Reversible two colors
- Textured non-slip surface
- Odor when new
- Sun exposure can damage it
- Weight not listed
Performance notes
A textured surface adds grip, and the cushioned thickness protects the joints on hard floors. PVC gives it durability, though sunlight can fade and make it brittle. Spot cleaning and flat drying are the care steps, with a bag for storage.
