Sports reviews of Gaiam Superthick Fitness Mat

Customer Review: Great Mat
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Gives great cushion to my knees! I have had surgery on both knees so it is great to finally be able to kneel. Also a great mat for simple meditation. I can comfortably lie on the floor and relax.

Customer Review: A little thick for yoga balancing
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

It is a nice mat. However, I had a hard time keeping my balance on the mat in the balancing portions of the yoga routine. The mat was a bit too thick to maintain stability, when I needed it most. Otherwise, it was okay.

Customer Review: My bones and joints are thankful.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I bought this recently because I needed extra cushioning between my joints
and the floor. Well, I am so glad I bought it. This is the softest mat I've
ever used. It makes me look forward to my workouts. I use it for yoga,
stretching, and Pilates. It's a great value for the price.
