The Best Yoga Mats for Literally Everyone

“What’s the best yoga mat?” It’s a question we hear all the time. Our answer is always, “It depends.” More specifically, it depends on how you practice, what you practice, and whether you practice in a way that prioritizes cushiness, grippiness, portability, affordability, sustainability, or any of many other qualities.

We asked 18 yoga teachers and students of varying experience levels to ditch their usual mats for more than a month of sweating, balancing, kneeling, and sitting cross-legged. We unrolled the contenders for best yoga mats at studios, stretched on them at home, tossed them in our car trunks, lugged them along city sidewalks, and (sometimes) scrubbed them down afterward. Then we did it again and again and again.

The following yoga mats are the ones we consider standouts for various reasons. Below, we’ve highlighted what our testers appreciated most about each to help you match one with your practice.
