Yoga and Pilates mats and accessories

Prepare a suitable space for floor exercises, yoga and Pilates. This category includes mats, yoga towels and support blocks. Each has a different role: a mat provides the working surface, a towel manages moisture and a block brings a support point closer to your body.

How to choose

Choose a mat by length, width, thickness and support feel. A thicker mat may provide more cushioning, but softness also affects stability. For yoga and dynamic exercises, check grip and the permitted uses of the exact model.

What to check before ordering

Compare materials and cleaning instructions, not just colour. For towels, check the fit against your mat and the conditions of use. For yoga blocks, compare dimensions and firmness. Properties of one cork or NBR model do not automatically apply to every mat.

Use and precautions

Use a clean, level surface. Follow footwear, cleaning and drying instructions; do not store the mat wet. A block helps adapt positions without replacing technique or forcing a greater range of movement.

Frequently asked questions

Is a thicker mat always better?

No. Choose a balance of cushioning, firmness and stability for your exercises.

Does a yoga towel replace a mat?

It does not provide the same cushioning. Check whether it is designed to go over a mat and how to maintain its grip.

Can every mat be used with shoes?

No. Check the model's instructions; some mats are intended for barefoot practice and gentle exercise.
