GADEL Extra Thick Yoga Mat Non Slip Thick Exercise Mat Wide TPE 12mm Eco Friendly Yoga Mats for Men/Women Workout Mats for Home Gym Fitness Hiit Gymnastics Meditation Pilates Yoga Mat Alignment Lines

Right, I am actually excited to write a review on this yoga mat because I am so pleased with it!! I have had my Gadel mat for about two months now and the quality is fantastic! Both me and my daughter use it regularly. My daughter uses it for her Jo Wicks classes and she loves it! She says she loves how it grips to the floor and the alignment lines are very helpful for her too! Myself, I use it for Yoga and Pilates and I find it gives me such comfort! I can really feel the difference especially on my head when I do my headstand pose but my elbows, hips and knees are so much more protected too. The cushioning is completely different to my previous nbr mat which was thick as well, but just too soft and squishy and very slippery! Now, with my Gadel mat, I don’t have to worry about slipping at all because the grip is really good as well! I have solid support and a great grip every time I work out, even when I sweat and it cushions my whole body perfectly and gives me the extra width I need for my headstand! The free yoga strap really beneficial too! So far I have just used the mat at home but I will be taking my mat to my gym hopefully soon so I was really happy when a friend of mine showed me how the yoga strap can double up as a carry strap too! I’ve tried it a few times now and it actually works really well and it's so easy to do! I just loop it and fasten it on one side, then loop it and tie a knot on the other side. I have attached some photos so you can see. Saved me from having to buy a carry strap anyway! So overall, If you are thinking about buying it, I would highly recommend it!! It a superb quality exercise mat well worth the price and for me and my daughter, it’s been fantastic!! You can really feel the difference!! 5 stars for sure!!!!

This is such a good yoga mat! I love the extra width and the thickness of this mat! I have had it for about two months now and I am very impressed with the performance and durability. I use it a lot, at least 4 times a week for many different styles,(Yoga,pilates weights training and hiit)and it’s been perfect for all my fitness styles. It has good grip and offers the best comfort I have ever felt in a fitness mat! I was impressed with the price of this mat too!! It feels like it should be more expensive.. Love the pink colour with the alignment design as well!! Definitely 5 stars from me!! To sum it up, this yoga mat ticks all the boxes and and I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for a good quality wide and thick yoga mat! Worth every penny!

This mat is quite heavy, but the extra width and thickness is exactly what I needed and what I found lacking in other cheaper mats. The thickness protects from the hardness of the floor even when lying in your side, and I weigh around 100 KG/16 stone. The width is broad enough that I can roll onto my side without my shoulder rolling off the mat. It is long enough that a 6 foot tall person can just about lie on it without their feet sticking out from the mat. The mat also has a good non slip/grippy surface, which makes stretching on it easier. It also came with a couple of yoga straps which double as a carry handle. The only improvement would be a carry bag for it, to protect it from rain when carrying it to the gym.

Honestly through no one’s fault but mine, this is just a bit too bulky for what I gullibly expected. I’m not sure what I was expecting as I wanted the thickness and comfort and big workout surface - yet I still somehow expected it to roll up easily and pack away fairly compact. It’s just a bit stiff to roll up and stay rolled up due to size and thickness and takes up a lot of room to store. Otherwise - colour is great, no complaints on use on tiles doing aerobic / cardio workouts and body weight strength training. Have relieved the pressure I used to feel on the balls of my feet and knees. As expected the big footprint means i don’t have to worry about where I put my arms and feet and I just workout that little bit more carefree.

Great quality, comforting and durable fitness mat! Hi, I don’t normally do reviews but I specialise in sports rehabilitation and this fitness mat has been extremely beneficial for me and many of my clients! I use it almost every day for high intensity workouts, body core/boot camp and rehabilitation exercises and it is the only mat I am using now. I enjoy it for many reasons but here are my top points on this mat: -The cushioning is superb! TPE in this thickness(12mm) is the best I have tried for supporting tender joints.) -It is excellent for weight training, it’s shock absorption dampens the weight when put back on the floor. -The mat has a nice surface pattern that makes it nonslip and my hands and feet have a good grip on the mat during all my exercises. -It is non slip on the floor which makes it perfect for my hiit(high intensity interval training)workouts. I can jump around without the fear of the mat moving. -I can wear trainers without fear of catching or damaging the mat.(a lot of my other mats could not take the impact of my trainers and dumb bells-and would rip little chunks out). -It is extra wide and I can do all my exercises on the mat without feeling restricted. Some might feel the price is too high but to me it is absolutely worth it. The quality is superb and I think it’s worth investing in good quality products, especially when it comes to your fitness and health. I’ve already recommended the Gadel mat to many of my clients, friends and family. It’s 5 stars all the way from me!

I have been looking for a thicker TPE mat for more cushioning and I liked what people were saying about this yoga mat. My only worry was that it would affect my standing postures, as a few people told me that I wouldn’t feel grounded with a thicker mat. Luckily for me I decided to try it out anyway because it has been absolutely pure joy to train on my new yoga mat! I feel very grounded and safe during my practice and I can perform all my standing balancing poses with ease. Best of all is the relief I feel on my my elbows, knees and hip when I do my floor exercises. I am so much more comfortable. The cushioning really is good and supports my body extremely well. I’m not slipping on the mat either which is important to me. I do power yoga, yin and pilates and i use it for hiit exercise as it grips really well on our wood flooring as well. It honestly is the best mat I’ve ever used and I would highly recommend it for any age and for any type of fitness. 5 stars for sure!!!

I was so much looking forward to this yoga mat. However, it was full of glitter on both sides of the mat. Absolutely horrible. Unacceptable, unusable, useless.

This is a well cushioned mat , great for kneeling . Also love the markings for keeping you symmetrical and well positioned. However it doesn’t grip very well so in certain yoga positions you feel slippage. This is really disappointing. Also I’m not keen on the colour choices. Pity they weren’t a bit more funky than the stereotypical pink and blue. Overall a good quality mat but disappointing surface.
