Yoga Mat Collection

Yes, but since Pilates exercises usually put pressure on the spine and hip bones, yoga mats 5 mm or thicker are better suited to Pilates for extra comfort.

A common mistake is thinking the thickest mat is always better. Mats thicker than 6mm offer comfort but can make it harder to feel the floor in standing balance poses. For a balance-focused practice, 4mm-4.2mm is the sweet spot.

Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the mat's surface. Wipe it with a natural mat cleaning spray or a damp cloth, then let it air out away from direct sunlight.

Professional mats with a closed-cell structure in particular (such as the Manduka PRO series) may have a protective top layer from the production process. These mats may need a "break-in period" to reach their true grip performance. In contrast, open-cell mats with a polyurethane surface, like Liforme, deliver maximum grip from the first use. Depending on your mat type, you'll notice its grip increase the more you use it.
