IUGA Eco Friendly Non Slip PU

The IUGA Eco Friendly Non Slip PU yoga mat features a polyurethane top with a natural rubber base, making it surprisingly grippy through hot or sweaty practice for the price. At 5mm thick and just over 2 pounds, it's lighter than most PU mats and easy to roll up and carry. It also comes with an adjustable strap, which is a nice bonus at this budget-friendly price point.

Gaiam Classic Print 4mm

The Gaiam Classic Print is the archetypal sticky PVC mat, and at 4mm and 2.1 pounds it is the thinnest and lightest Gaiam we carry. The textured surface delivers the reliable dry grip PVC is known for, and the 68 by 24 inch cut is Gaiam's standard size, sold in a rotating set of printed colorways. It is latex-free, made without the six most restricted phthalates and covered by Gaiam's lifetime guarantee, though Gaiam itself warns that printed mats arrive with a strong odor and need two or three days of airing out.
