Is there a difference between a yoga mat and pilates mat?

While they look similar, yoga mats and pilates mats are designed for the unique movements and needs of their respective practices. We're laying the groundwork: – Yoga Mats: Typically made from PVC or natural rubber with a 3–5mm profile, they have a grippy surface that helps keep you (and the mat) steady through every flow. – Pilates Mats: Thicker and cushier at 8-15mm thick, with high-density foam that protects your spine and joints through everything from roll-downs to hundreds and side-lying leg work. Still searching for your sole mate? Roll on over to our yoga and pilates gear to find the right level of grip, support and cushioning – no matter what you practice.
