Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert in Yoga, depending on the type of Yoga you practice, you are going to sweat a lot. And if you’ve ever taken a Hot Yoga or Bikram Yoga class you know just how much you can sweat during a yoga class! Even with regular non heated yoga classes, the humidity level and temperature in yoga studios can make you sweat. That is why it is important that your yoga mat is a non-slip one. Let’s check the best yoga mats on the market that ensure that you have good stability on your yoga mat.
Plyopic All-in-One Yoga Mat Best Luxury Sweat Grip Mat
The Plyopic All-in-One Yoga Mat is a multi-purpose mat with an eco-friendly rubber base. The thickness of the mat is 3.5mm and it has a special “sweat-grip” surface coating that grips at a lower moisture threshold than other yoga towels or microfiber mats. It is non-sweat in nature. It is a long-lasting and good quality mat that can enhance your performance and postures. This yoga mat provides comfort and reduces stress on your joints, and prevents you from slipping when your body sweats. This mat is suitable for all exercises and can be used with or without slippers.
The Plyopic All-in-One Yoga Mat is made of eco-friendly material and SGS approved. It is made of sustainably harvested tree rubber bottom that firmly grips the floor, so the mat won’t move or curl during your yoga practice. The top layer is a soft grip coating that is made of biodegradable micros used which provides a textured and comfortable warming texture against your skin. Also there is a microsuede layer that is thermally fused (without toxic glues!) to the rubber base to make it extremely durable.
The Plyopic All-in-One Yoga Mat comes in a variety of color patterns which make it stand out from a basic solid color yoga mat. The “Persia” color option actually looks like a Persian rug and some women I know leave it unrolled on the floor as it looks like a carpet. Then they can do poses whenever they like and don’t have to worry about getting the yoga mat out of the closet unrolling it and then having to put it back later. One less hassle – they can do poses whenever they like. Very creative idea, don’t you think? The mat’s dimensions are 71 x 25.5 x 0.1-inch.
Pros:
- A multi-purpose mat which is very eco-friendly. Use one side for yoga and flip it over for other floor exercises or Pilates
- Vibrant colors make this a fun, more colorful option
- 100% non-toxic with environmentally conscious SGS certified materials.
Cons:
- The mat is thinner than most yoga mats. To most people this is a positive for storage and portability, but if you require extra cushioning, this mat may be too thin for you.
Yoga Cloud Ultra-Thick 1″ Yoga and Exercise Mat Ultra Thick and Cushioned for extra joint support
If you need a thicker mat with extra joint support, this one is a good option. The Yoga Cloud Ultra-Thick 1″ Yoga and Exercise Mat yoga mat is 1 inch and ultra thick which makes it a great choice if you’re looking for a safer, sturdier, thicker yoga mat. The additional cushion protects your knees, hips, wrist, and elbows from getting hurt while doing exercises. The high density foam used in this mat is 4x thicker than a traditional yoga mat.
The mat’s dimensions are 72 inches long and 24 inches wide. It comes in four different color combinations – black, pink blue and red. Because of the mat’s thickness, it is a good option for other floor exercises that require greater cushioning like Pilates, ab workouts, and so on.
To sum up, Yoga Cloud Ultra-Thick 1″ Yoga and Exercise Mat is a good option if you’re looking for an ultra thick, slip proof alternative to a traditional yoga mat.
Pros:
- Extra cushion protects your joints
- Easy to roll up and carry to a preferred location
- Comes with a carrying strap and shoulder sling for easy portability
Cons:
- This is a standard yoga mat length, so if you are taller than 6 feet you might do better with a longer yoga mat for tall people
