JadeYoga Fusion 74"

The Jade Fusion 74" yoga mat offers the same ultra-comfortable 5/16" thickness and strong grip as the 68" version, but with extra length for taller practitioners. Ideal for those seeking durability and comfort, it's crafted from natural rubber, making it a perfect choice for eco-conscious yogis.

Gaiam Essentials Fitness Mat 10mm

The Gaiam Essentials Fitness Mat is a 10mm NBR foam mat made for people who put cushioning ahead of balance feedback. Its ribbed surface and thick foam suit stretching, Pilates and floor workouts, and the included sling makes its bulky roll easier to carry. The soft platform is comfortable under knees and elbows but less stable for standing yoga poses than a denser 4mm to 6mm mat.
