Picking a yoga mat used to mean grabbing whatever was on sale at the gym. Now there are dozens of them — closed-cell, open-cell, cork, jute, cotton, "eco-polyurethane" — and the marketing copy on every product page sounds about the same.
This post is the table I wish existed when I was last in the market. Specs, prices, materials, and review scores for every mat I could find from a serious yoga brand, in one place. Sort it. Filter it. Click through to buy.
How to read this table
A few columns won't be obvious if you haven't shopped for mats before:
Material — PVC is grippy and durable but petroleum-based. TPE is recyclable plastic, lighter and more sustainable than PVC but less durable. Natural rubber has the best grip when wet, breaks down on its own, but smells for the first few weeks. Cork is grippy when damp and naturally antimicrobial. Jute and cotton trade grip for breathability and biodegradability.
Cell structure — Closed-cell mats repel sweat (easier to clean, better for vigorous practice). Open-cell mats absorb it (better grip during hot yoga, harder to clean). Many brands don't disclose this — those rows show "—".
Score — a count-weighted average across up to three sources per mat: the brand's own product page, Amazon (if listed), and one major retailer like REI or Yoga Outlet. Hover or focus on any score to see the per-source breakdown. Mats with no public review data show "—".
The table defaults to a curated column view; click "Columns" above the table to show length, width, weight, or review counts.
