Our verdict
Where it wins
- 6mm of foam gives more knee and hip padding than standard 3 to 4mm mats
- Wide choice of prints and reversible designs at the same price tier
- Latex-free PVC per Gaiam, relevant for latex allergies
Where it loses
- Soft PVC foam compresses underfoot, so it feels less stable in balance poses than dense rubber mats
- Smooth PVC top gets slick once you sweat, so hot yoga usually needs a towel on top
- No carrying strap included, and new mats need a few days of airing out before first use per Gaiam
A sensible default for casual practice at home. You get real cushioning and a print you like for roughly a third of a Manduka PRO. Skip it if you do sweaty flow classes or want the firm, dense footing of a rubber mat, and note that Target and Gaiam price the prints slightly differently, so it pays to compare.

Common questions
Is this mat latex-free?
Gaiam states the mat is made of latex-free and 6P-free PVC.
Does it need any preparation before first use?
Gaiam recommends unrolling the mat and letting it air out for 2 to 3 days before using it, which vents the new-mat smell PVC mats ship with.
How does it compare to the Manduka PRO?
Both are 6mm PVC mats, but the Manduka PRO uses a much denser, heavier closed-cell construction and costs over twice as much. The Gaiam is softer, lighter, and cheaper.
