Top 5 Yoga Mats of 2022
There are so many amazing yoga mats on the market. While having choices is important - it may also feel overwhelming.
So, we tested the top-selling mats for you!
Questions to consider as you search for your perfect mat
Are there different mats for different styles of yoga?
What kind of yoga do you practice?
If you practice Yin Yoga, then cushion may be the most important factor for you. We recommend 4mm or more for any type of restorative yoga. Or you can stack a blanket over your mat.
For Hot Yoga or power flow classes, traction might be the most important thing, so you'll look for mats that are resistant to slippage even when wet. Think cork or rubber especially.
What kind of yoga mat should I get if I travel?
Where will you be practicing yoga?
If you are planning on transporting your mat, a lightweight mat may be a priority (1.5mm-3mm are commonly selected by those who travel).
If you are planning on practicing outdoors, you may want a closed cell construction or a mat made from cork for a hygenic practice.
Are there yoga mats for tall yogis?
Yes, there are yoga mats designed specifically for taller yogis. If you are taller than 6', you are going to want to select the longer mat option.
Here are our top five yoga mat picks of 2022:
5) Tapas Original Mat by Hugger Mugger
The Hugger Mugger Original Tapas Yoga mat is one of our best sellers! With 3mm thickness and super sticky feel (and a great price), you will have no problem staying in your favorite arm balance. Developed over twenty years ago, the Tapas Hugger Mugger mat was the OG mat designed specifically for yoga.
Also availalbe in Long for the tall yogi.
4) X Yoga Mat by Manduka
Designed with the multi-sport athlete in mind, the X Yoga Mat by Manduka provides comfort with its 5mm thickness that pads your joints while also being lightweight enough to carry with you to the gym, field or beyond.
The closed-cell construction doesn't absorb moisture for a hygienic and easy-to-clean experience. Perfect for those planning to take their workout sessions outside.
We love this more affortable version of the classic PROlite mat by Manduka.
3) Harmony Mat by Jade Yoga
Jade Yoga's classic Harmony Yoga Mat offers exceptional traction with an open cell rubber grip so that it is slip-free even when wet. The 5mm of cushion makes this mat a great option for those yogis who practice more than one style of yoga. If you want a solid grip for your power flow as well as having luxurious cushion for your yin practice, this may be the mat for you.
Another reason we love this mat is that it is eco-friendly and biodegradable. It's free of PVCs and other ozone-depleting substances and is made from natural rubber that is sustainable and comes from a renewable source.
