The full ranking

1
Best overall

Manduka PRO

9.1Our number one pick.

The Manduka PRO is the mat that lasts a lifetime, with a dense, supportive surface, a famous lifetime guarantee and superb durability that justifies the price for committed yogis. It is heavy and needs breaking in for full grip, but nothing else feels this permanent.

Pros
  • Lifetime guarantee
  • Dense, supportive feel
  • Extremely durable
Cons
  • Heavy

Best alignment

Liforme Original

9.0A superb runner-up.

The Liforme is beloved for its printed alignment guide and outstanding grip even in hot, sweaty practice, making it a favourite for vinyasa and hot yoga. It is expensive and not the most durable long-term, but the grip and guidance are excellent.

Grip: 9.4Cushioning: 8.6Durability: 8.4Value: 8.4
Pros
  • Excellent grip when sweaty
  • Helpful alignment markers
  • Eco-friendly materials

Best grip

Lululemon The Mat 5mm

8.8Rounds out our top three.

Lululemon's The Mat has a clever polyurethane top layer that grips superbly as you sweat, plus reassuring cushioning. The grippy surface can attract lint and needs cleaning, but for studio practice it is one of the best.

Grip: 9.2Cushioning: 8.6Durability: 8.4Value: 8.6
Pros
  • Superb sweaty grip
  • Good cushioning
  • Quality feel
Cons
  • Shows lint and marks
  • Needs regular cleaning

Best eco

Manduka eKO

8.7A standout in the upper half.

The eKO brings Manduka quality in a natural-rubber, eco-friendly mat with strong grip and a pleasant cushioned feel. It has a rubber smell at first and is not as bombproof as the PRO, but it is a lovely sustainable choice.

Grip: 8.8Cushioning: 8.6Durability: 8.6Value: 8.6
Pros
  • Eco natural rubber
  • Good grip and cushioning
  • Manduka quality
Cons
  • Initial rubber smell
  • Heavier than travel mats

Best natural rubber

Jade Harmony

8.6A well-rounded mid-table pick.

The Jade Harmony is a natural-rubber favourite with excellent grip and a plush, comfortable feel, and Jade plants a tree with every mat sold. The open-cell rubber grips brilliantly but absorbs sweat, so it needs proper cleaning.

Grip: 9.0Cushioning: 8.8Durability: 8.2Value: 8.6
Pros
  • Great natural grip
  • Comfortable cushioning
  • A tree planted per mat
Cons
  • Absorbs sweat

Best sticky grip

B Mat Everyday

8.5Great value in the middle of the pack.

B Yoga's B Mat Everyday is prized for an exceptionally sticky rubber surface that holds poses securely, with a solid, grounded feel. It is heavy and the grip attracts dust, but for stability it is excellent.

Grip: 9.2Cushioning: 8.4Durability: 8.4Value: 8.4
Pros
  • Very sticky grip
  • Grounded, stable feel
  • Good for hot yoga
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Attracts dust

Best UK grip

Yogi Bare Paws

8.5A dependable pick if the price is right.

The Yogi Bare Paws is the UK value star, a natural-rubber mat with strong grip and a useful alignment line at a friendlier price than the big names. It is a touch thinner, but for the money the grip is genuinely impressive.

Grip: 9.0Cushioning: 8.2Durability: 8.2Value: 9.0
Pros
  • Strong grip for the price
  • Alignment line
  • Eco rubber
Cons
  • Thinner cushioning
  • Can wear over time

Best style

Alo Yoga Warrior

8.4Solid, if outshone by pricier rivals.

The Alo Warrior is the style pick, a good-looking PVC mat with reliable grip and cushioning that performs as well as it looks. It is pricey for PVC and not the most eco option, but it is a lovely everyday studio mat.

Grip: 8.6Cushioning: 8.6Durability: 8.4Value: 8.2
Pros
  • Stylish and well made
  • Reliable grip
  • Good cushioning
Cons
  • Pricey for PVC

Best value

Gaiam Premium

8.2A budget-friendly option worth a look.

The Gaiam Premium is the value all-rounder, a cushioned PVC mat with fun prints that is perfect for beginners and gentle practice. Grip is only okay when sweaty and it is not eco-friendly, but for the price it is great.

Grip: 8.0Cushioning: 8.4Durability: 7.8Value: 9.2
Pros
  • Affordable and cushioned
  • Lots of designs
  • Good for beginners
Cons
  • Grip slips when sweaty
  • PVC, not eco

Best budget

Amazon Basics Mat

7.6Rounds out our top ten.

The Amazon Basics mat is the cheapest sensible option, a basic foam mat that is fine for stretching, light yoga and floor workouts. It lacks grip and durability for serious practice, but as a starter or spare it does the job.

Grip: 7.4Cushioning: 7.8Durability: 7.2Value: 9.2
Pros
  • Very cheap
  • Lightweight
  • Fine for light use
Cons
  • Poor grip
  • Wears quickly
