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.

Hugger Mugger Earth Elements 5mm

The Hugger Mugger Earth Elements yoga mat is made from a foamy, closed-cell TPE that feels softer underfoot than rubber or PVC, making it a comfortable pick for restorative practice and gentler flows. At 5mm thick and 2.4 pounds, it's lightweight, latex-free, and recyclable. The cushion is on the plush side, so it's not the most stable option for standing balances but works well for most home practice.
