JadeYoga Fusion XW

The Jade Fusion XW yoga mat is extra wide and long, providing maximum space and cushioning at 5/16" thick. With its superior grip and eco-friendly natural rubber, it’s perfect for anyone setting up a home studio or needing more room and comfort during their yoga or workout sessions.

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.
