The Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat is a great option for those looking for extra cushioning and support during their yoga or exercise routines. Measuring at 72L x 24W x 0.4 inch thick, this mat provides a significant amount of padding and comfort. One of the standout features of this mat is its grip. Customers have reported that the mat has a great grip on both sides, allowing for stability and balance during various poses and exercises.
