Buy this mat as an investment to last you for years. The grip is excellent, the padding just right, and the larger size is useful too. We say: This is a high quality, eco-friendly mat which is a great investment buy, it’s a highly regarded mat and we can see why. Tester Mary Jones says: “I loved this mat, I felt like I could really move on it. In addition, as it’s biodegradable the manufacturers recommend not leaving it out in the sun and it will need cleaning regularly as your skin’s natural oils will leave slight marks. It is also heavy, weighing 2.5kg – so heavy to move around. We didn’t like: There’s no getting away from the price. We know from testers who own this mat that it lasts for years. Testers also liked the alignment markings, which looked confusing initially, but proved to be in exactly the right places for each yoga posture. It didn’t move on any of our surfaces and, at 4.2mm thick, there was enough cushioning for everyone without affecting balance on one-legged poses. Yet despite its smooth feel, it felt very safe and secure during all moves, even when it got wet. We liked: We liked the smooth feel of the surface of the mat and the rubber underside felt grippy. It doesn’t have the eco-credentials of some of the more expensive mats and we are yet to see how long lasting this will turn out to be over weeks and months, but if you are on a budget, then this is a great buy. However, ensure you buy it at the discounted price of £29.99. We say: This is a great mat at a great price. I would really consider buying this one, it’s a great price for a lovely quality mat.” Tester Ana Kimche says: “I loved the colour of the mat and the markings. We didn’t like: Weighing 2.7kg, it is one of the heaviest mats, so may not be suitable for those with back or shoulder issues if you need to carry it to a class. Testers liked the alignment lines and felt it was comfortable to use on hard and softer surfaces. At 4mm thick, it wasn’t as cushioned as others, but testers felt it was comfortable and stable. It’s virtually identical to the Liforme mat which is almost four times the price.ĭuring the test the mat performed well, feeling smooth to the touch but very grippy.
It looks expensive, without costing anywhere near as much as you’d expect. We liked: This mat is amazing value for money. It’s one of the more expensive mats in the test, but we believe this mat would be a great investment buy as it will last for years. It isn’t the most cushioned mat in our test, but it has a good balance between softness and stability. It is heavy, but that helps it remain stable. We say: Our testers liked the look and feel of the Yogi Bare Paws mat.
The mats last well and don’t shed over time. She says: “It suits a wide variety of people, it’s grippy and cushioned and works for all the different forms of yoga I teach, from slow Yin Yoga to Hot Yoga classes. The Yogi Bare mat is instructor Webb’s choice of mat for her yoga studio. We didn’t like: Weighing in at 2.5kg it is heavy and takes a bit of effort to roll up. It didn’t slip either, on hard surfaces or carpet. The surface of the mat is grippy in all moves, even the wide-legged stances, and our testers felt it was stable underfoot for balancing postures. We liked: This mat looks expensive, the surface feels smooth to the touch and the design is tasteful but not too bold to be off-putting and the horizontal and vertical lines are useful for centring yourself.
