KIMJALY 8mm Gentle Yoga Mat, dark blue in dark blue is a comfort-first floor mat for gentle yoga, stretching and slower sessions at home. Decathlon Malaysia listed this exact colour at RM59 when checked on 29 September 2026. Its published specification is 173 cm by 61 cm, 8 mm thick and 1.85 kg. This is a source-based buying review; we have not personally tested its cushioning or grip.

What the 8 mm design is for
The product page positions this mat for gentle yoga and describes it as thick and cushioned. Eight millimetres gives more padding between knees, elbows and a hard floor than a thin travel mat, which is the practical reason to choose it for restorative poses, mobility work or floor stretching. That extra foam is a trade-off, not a universal upgrade: the official listing says it is not recommended for more demanding yoga styles where grip and stability matter. Do not read “thick” as “better for every pose.”
At 173 by 61 cm, the stated surface is a useful planning check. If you are tall, practise long prone poses, or want room to step wide without leaving the mat, compare those dimensions with your body and stance before buying. It weighs 1.85 kg and is not foldable, according to the product specifications. That makes it manageable to move between a room and a car, but less appealing for a daily walk, public transport commute or a small bag. The page lists foam and PVC as main materials; it does not provide enough evidence to claim this is a natural-rubber or eco-certified mat.
Grip, cleaning and realistic expectations
Decathlon describes floor grip and traction for gentle yoga, while separately cautioning against more demanding styles because of grip and stability. Those statements should be read together. For slow transitions on a clean, dry, level floor, the intended use is clear; for fast flows, pivots, hand balances or sweaty sessions, the listing itself gives a reason to choose a mat specifically designed and tested for those demands. We cannot turn catalogue wording into a claim that the surface will prevent every slip. Check the floor under it and stop if either surface moves.
The official short description says the mat is easy to clean, but the page material reviewed does not set out a detailed wash method. Use a damp cloth and mild care only if consistent with the care label; do not soak, machine-wash or expose it to high heat without manufacturer instructions. Let it dry fully before rolling to reduce trapped moisture. The dark-blue patterned surface may disguise ordinary marks better than a pale plain mat, but that is an appearance preference, not a performance feature.
Advantages
- Eight-millimetre cushioning is the specific selling point for gentle floor-based practice.
- Decathlon publishes the useful 173 x 61 cm footprint and 1.85 kg weight.
- The product page directly identifies its intended gentle-yoga use and warns against demanding styles.
- RM59 is a straightforward official Malaysia price for this exact dark-blue variant.
Drawbacks and limits
- It is relatively bulky at 1.85 kg, cannot fold and is not the best pick for commuters wanting a compact carry.
- Decathlon does not recommend it for more demanding yoga that needs stronger grip and stability.
- The listed size may feel short or narrow for taller users or broad stances; measure your practice space.
- The product page does not state a separate model-specific warranty or detailed cleaning instructions.
Malaysia price, stock and after-sales
The Decathlon Malaysia product page showed RM59 on 29 September 2026, with the dark-blue 8 mm model listed for local purchase. Price and stock can change; postcode availability, delivery fees, collection and promotions may alter the amount you actually pay. Use the official listing as the current reference and check your postcode before checkout. [1] Marketplace sellers may bundle a strap or describe another thickness as “8mm”; confirm that the dark-blue KIMJALY gentle-yoga variant, size and item identity match before paying. A cheaper listing is not equivalent if it is a different mat.
I found no separate product-specific warranty period stated on the product listing, so do not assume a multi-year mat warranty. Decathlon Malaysia publishes its own return and exchange process; those conditions are not the same thing as a product warranty and can depend on purchase channel, condition and proof of purchase. Keep the invoice, retain the packaging until you have checked the delivered item, and ask Decathlon support about the current return route if there is a defect. If buying through a marketplace, verify whether Decathlon or the marketplace seller handles returns before checkout.
Who should buy it — and who should skip it
Buy this KIMJALY mat if your priority is extra floor cushioning for gentle yoga, stretching or slower home practice, its 173 x 61 cm area fits you, and RM59 is within budget. It also makes sense if your mat stays mainly in one place: the weight matters much less when you are not carrying it every day. The clearly stated thickness, dimensions and use restriction make it easier to judge than an anonymous listing that gives only a colour and a claimed thickness.
Skip it if you practise vigorous vinyasa, need dependable traction for sweaty hands, rely on precise balance work, or want a lightweight foldable mat for classes and travel. Also look elsewhere if you need a longer or wider surface, dislike PVC/foam materials, or require a written warranty before purchase. In those cases, choose a specialist grip or travel mat with specifications that directly meet your need; do not buy this one simply because 8 mm sounds more supportive.
Verdict
At RM59, the KIMJALY 8mm Gentle Yoga Mat is a reasonable comfort-led buy for slower sessions on a stable indoor floor, provided its 173 x 61 cm size suits you. Its extra thickness is the advantage, while weight, non-foldable construction and the explicit grip/stability limitation define the compromise. This is not our recommendation for demanding flows or travel. For gentle practice at home, the published purpose and clear Malaysia price make it a sensible shortlist choice; confirm current stock, delivery and return terms before ordering.
