Overview
Gaiam's solid-color yoga mat is a PVC exercise mat measuring 68 inches by 24 inches with a textured non-slip surface, built for yoga, pilates and general floor workouts at home or in class.
This is Gaiam's standard thick mat rather than the reversible two-tone version, so expect one color per side with roughly 5mm of cushioning per the listing's own dimensions. The seller copy attached to this listing echoes language from Gaiam's other mats, so treat exact thickness as approximate rather than a firm spec. It's a PVC mat, not the brand's eco or cork lines, and it's made without latex or six of the most commonly restricted phthalates.
- 68 inch by 24 inch PVC exercise mat
- Textured non-slip surface
- 6P-free, latex-free construction
- Includes bonus downloadable yoga class
Who it's for
Suits anyone starting a home yoga or floor-workout habit who wants more cushioning than a bare gym mat without paying for a premium natural-rubber build. Less suited to hot yoga practitioners chasing maximum wet grip, since textured PVC mats can get slick once damp.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Textured surface adds grip for yoga and pilates
- Cushioned PVC eases pressure on knees and elbows
- Free of latex and six restricted phthalates
- Includes a downloadable yoga workout
- PVC construction, not a natural-rubber or eco mat
- New-mat odor may need a few days to fade
- Exact thickness in listing text is inconsistent
Performance notes
The textured PVC surface is designed to grip bare skin and socks through standing and floor poses, and the added thickness compared with a basic gym mat is meant to cushion knees and elbows. Gaiam recommends unrolling and airing the mat out for two to three days before first use, since a manufacturing odor can be noticeable straight out of the packaging.
