Editor’s Pick
Manduka PRO Yoga Mat - 6mm
The studio mat: ultra-dense 6mm cushioning, a sealed hygienic surface, and a lifetime guarantee.
An ultra-dense 6mm PVC mat, 71 in × 26 in and about 7 lbs, with a sealed, hygienic surface that resists moisture and bacteria. It is handmade in an emissions-free facility from latex-free PVC certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, and is designed for long-term, daily studio use.
Dense 6mm cushioning protects knees and wrists without feeling soft or wobbly, and the sealed surface is easy to wipe clean after practice. It is one of the most durable mats available, with a very long expected life — but at around 7 pounds it is best kept at home or in one studio, and the surface needs a short break-in period before it reaches its best grip.
