How do you find the right yoga mat?
There are several factors to consider when looking for the perfect mat. First and foremost, thickness is crucial. A thick mat provides excellent support for knees and joints during floor exercises and Pilates, while a thin mat offers much better contact with the floor, which is essential for balance in standing positions.
The surface of your yoga mat also plays a major role in grip. If your workout makes you sweat, you need a high-friction surface to prevent slipping. The material often affects the surface, weight and durability. Some materials are light and soft to the touch, while others are heavier, highly durable and lie completely flat against the floor from the moment you unroll them.
Naturally, the size should suit your height. Ideally, you should be able to lie fully stretched out on the yoga mat without your hands or feet extending beyond it. Finally, colour can affect your motivation – choose a shade or design that makes you want to unroll the mat.
Frequently asked questions about yoga mats
How thick should a yoga mat be?
The thickness depends entirely on your type of exercise. For workouts with plenty of standing balance exercises, 4–5 mm is ideal because it provides good contact with the floor. For Pilates, stretching or recovery workouts, thicker mats of around 10–15 mm are much better for cushioning your joints.
Which yoga mat should I choose?
Choose according to your type of exercise and body build. If you are tall, you need a long model – ideally 10–20 cm longer than your height. Intense workouts that make you sweat require a surface with excellent grip.
What is the best yoga mat?
The best mat is the one that suits your level and needs precisely. For beginners, an affordable all-purpose mat is usually the wisest choice, while more experienced users typically prioritise specialist, heavier materials that provide good grip for advanced exercises.
What is the difference between an exercise mat and a yoga mat?
An exercise mat is often considerably thicker and softer because it is designed to absorb impact during sit-ups and floor exercises. A yoga mat, by contrast, is thinner, firmer and more textured to ensure stability, balance and a non-slip grip in standing positions.
How long should my yoga mat be?
Choose a yoga mat long enough for you to lie stretched out without your hands or feet extending beyond it. Base your choice on your height and the exercises you do.
