Whether you're recovering after a workout, working on flexibility, or stretching daily to stay supple, a good mat makes all the difference. You want a surface that provides cushioning where needed, is firm, and can withstand repeated use. At Yogi Essentials, you'll find a variety of mats that are not only suitable for yoga but also ideal for stretching and light strength training.
The mat that's best for you depends on your training intensity and your priorities in terms of comfort and support. Below, we've listed the best options for you.
TPE mats : comfort and lightness
If you're primarily looking for comfort during gentle stretching or mobility exercises, our TPE mats are a great choice. They offer gentle support for your joints and are gentle on your knees, elbows, and hips. Because they're lightweight, you can easily take them to the studio, gym, or outdoors.
TPE is also easy to clean and free of harsh chemicals. For those who regularly practice relaxation exercises or restorative training, a TPE mat provides the perfect foundation: soft, lightweight, and reliable.
Cork mats : natural grip and strength
Looking for a mat with a firmer feel and excellent grip even during more dynamic movements? Then our cork mats are a strong option. Both our standard and premium cork mats combine a warm, non-slip surface with a stable base of TPE or natural rubber.
Cork naturally becomes grippier when it gets damp. This means you'll maintain grip even when your stretching gets more intense or you start to sweat. At the same time, cork offers a pleasant firmness, preventing you from sinking in too much – ideal for balance exercises or light strength training alongside stretching.
PU rubber mats : maximum stability and grip
For those who combine stretching with intense sports or strength training, our PU rubber mats are the best choice. These mats offer maximum grip, stay in place perfectly, and are designed to withstand heavy loads.
The PU top layer ensures you won't slip, even in wet conditions or during heavy movement. The sturdy rubber backing keeps the mat flat and stable, even during jumping or strength exercises. If you're looking for a firm, reliable surface for more intensive use, a PU rubber mat is ideal.
Which mat suits your way of moving?
The right choice depends mainly on what you expect from your mat.
If you're looking for a comfortable position and some light stretching, a TPE mat is a logical first step.
Looking for more grip and a firmer base, for example, for active stretches or core training? Then a cork mat is the perfect solution.
And if you train intensively and want maximum stability, a PU rubber mat is the best choice.
