Move on and finish reading this review!
1. LOTTUS LIFE Natural Jute Fiber Premium Yoga Mat
The first one that we have listed is Lottus Life Natural Jute Fiber Premium Yoga Mat. This mat, made of eco-friendly material, boasts its perfect non-slip performance and memory foam material. You can make poses of all types to your heart’s content without slipping issues. It should be noted that the mat has immediate slip-resistance, which means it does not require you to break in and you can be familiar with this mat in a very short period of time.
The Lottus Life Premium Yoga Mat is also famous for its comfort. The 8mm thick mat is ideal for offering adequate cushioning for your joints, knees and hips. It is strong and durable enough to support you when exercising. What’s more, it is a mat of versatility. You can also do workouts or other vigorous activities such as Burpee and squats (This feature is rarely seen in yoga mats of other famous brands). The lengthened mat (72 inches x 24 inches) is designed for a larger and wider exercising space. If you want to take it out and practice yoga in a gym, you can carry it with the adjustable over-the-shoulder strap.
2. Jade Harmony Yoga Mat
Just as its name has told you, Jade Harmony is a green company that exclusively sells yoga mats made by natural and eco-friendly material. This company has made a promise of “one mat for one tree”, which has indeed won many customers’ admiration and love. Whenever you purchase a yoga mat of Jade Harmony, they would plant a tree for you!
The classical yoga mat of Jade Harmony is made from natural rubber, a material that contains no toxic ingredients like BPA and harmful plastics. As a result, there is no need for you to worry about inhaling toxins when making poses. The mat offers you unparalleled cushioning and you will definitely feel comfortable even after a long workout. The specialty of the natural rubber indicates that this mat is not easy to clean, yet the resilience of Jade Harmony Yoga Mat as well as the comfortable using experiences can pay it off.
If you are environmentally concerned, then the yoga mat of Jade Harmony is the perfect option for you!
3. Clever Yoga Non-Slip 6mm Yoga Mat
The 6mm yoga mat of Clever Yoga has additional thickness, which is applicable for those who have problems with joints and thus care about their knees or elbows. This yoga mat (72 inches x 25 inches) features extra large design, which provides tall yogis with convenience and yoga fans of medium height with spacious exercising area. The weight of a single mat is considerably light, enabling you to take it anywhere you like! It should be pointed out that the wavy underside of the mat is so practical and reliable that no matter how vigorous your movements are, it still sticks to the ground/floor firmly.
The durable and long lasting material saves money for you and you can enjoy its longer service life. Besides, Clever Yoga Non-Slip 6mm Yoga Mat is easy to clean as the closed cell layer on the surface of the mat keeps sweats or dirt away. You can simply wipe it with soap and water after practicing.
4. Aurorae Synergy 2 in 1 Yoga Mat
The Synergy 2 in 1 mat is a new product released by Aurorae. This mat boasts its advanced technology that combines the anti-slipping towel with the mat. After 2 weeks of using, our yogis thought that the 2 in 1 yoga mat indeed offered perfect grip and they did not slip when practicing yoga on it. Just as Aurorae promotes about the Synergy 2 in 1 Mat, the wetter it becomes, the more grip you will obtain when making poses.
As you see, this elegant mat is not so easy to manufacture, which means it is not cheap and available for everyone. Its manufacturer runs a small business and may not offer you a lifelong warranty (2 years for each mat actually). Because of its double material (the mat and the towel), a single 2 in 1 mat is pretty heavy, and it may take you a lot of efforts to carry it to a gym or a yoga class. All in all, every mat has its strengths and shortcomings, if you are searching for a fancy, durable and non-slip mat, this Synergy 2 in 1 Yoga Mat of Aurorae is worth buying!
5. Manduka PRO Yoga Mat
The PRO Mat of Manduka is made from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), a material that is prevalent in the yoga mat market. TPE yoga mats are characterized by good elasticity and anti-slip functionality (Its non-slipping functionality requires a large amount of exercises to emerge). And the PRO Mat of Manduka is smooth yet yields perfect grip when flat out on the floor. This material adopted by PRO Mat is eco-friendly and contains no toxic element, posing no threat to human body and presenting ultimate durability.
Unlike most of the yoga mats in the market that are soft yet lack cushioning functionality, the Manduka PRO Yoga Mat is characterized by high-density and comfortable pillar. The padding of almost 6 mm in thickness provided me both comfort and stability, enabling me to practice poses much more freely. It perfectly combines the softness of the material and the due cushioning without irreparable compressing.
The PRO Yoga Mat of Manduka is sold with a free strap. This strap, made of renewable fibers, is light, durable and stylish. Adjustable in length and tightness, it is applicable for all types and sizes of Manduka yoga mats and can securely fasten your yoga mat with the smooth polyester webbing. And the removable pouch on it can offer you a space to store your keys, phone, wallet and other gadgets.
To sum up, the PRO Mat of Manduka is for those who look for higher level of yoga and who are willing to tolerate its long time of breaking in. If you do practice yoga frequently or if you are a yoga teacher, then it is worthwhile to buy one.
6. Gaiam Yoga Mat 5mm
Guess what? The 5mm Gaiam Yoga Mat is much more thicker, wider and longer than most of the traditional mats in the market. Gaiam is dedicated to providing yogis with more space and stability to make an array of poses. The PVC material of Gaiam Yoga Mat 5mm is eco-friendly and gets rid of harmful elements such as BPA and phthalates. However, this mat made of PVC is inevitably expensive due to the pricy material.
Gaiam Yoga Mat 5mm is also characterized by versatility as there are a textured layer and a sticky layer on both sides. This two-way mat greatly improves the performance and saves you extra money for two independent ones. Unlike Aurorae Synergy 2 in 1 Yoga Mat, the 5mm mat of Gaiam is easy to carry and store due to its comparatively light weight (still heavier than most of the traditional yoga mats).
7. Sivan Health and Fitness Yoga Set 6-Piece
More than just a yoga mat, the Sivan Health & Fitness Yoga set also comes with two additional yoga blocks, one yoga mat towel (which will assist you greatly in hot yoga classes), one yoga hand towel and one yoga strap.
The Sivan Health & Fitness Yoga ingenuously created the Set 6-Piece, which surprised every yogi in the early days. The set includes one yoga-exclusive mat towel, one hand towel, one strap for poses and two additional blocks. The set is designed to be thicker, wider and longer, aiming to offer you comfortable yoga experiences. These blocks and the strap for poses really can help a yoga beginner as he or she may not have a mastering of proper balance and poses. Equipped with superior absorption capability, the mat towel and hand towel are both conducive to absorbing the sweat for you and enhancing the grip performance of the mat itself. The Sivan Health and Fitness Yoga Set 6-Piece is undoubted expensive, which may be its sole shortcoming.
