Frequently Asked Questions
How thick should a yoga mat be? +
4mm is standard and works for most yoga styles. Go thicker (6-8mm) if you have sensitive knees or do more restorative yoga. Thinner (1-3mm) is better for balance-focused practices.
How long do yoga mats last? +
A quality mat lasts 1-5 years with regular use. Signs it needs replacing: flaking, thinning in high-use areas, or loss of grip.
Can I use a yoga mat for other exercises? +
Yes — yoga mats work great for Pilates, stretching, bodyweight workouts, and meditation. Just look for extra thickness if you're doing exercises that require more cushioning.
