Manduka Pro Yoga Mat ($137-$350)
This Manduka mat is the mat of choice for many yoga professionals and at top-tier studios, so you know it's good. It's thick and extremely dense, so it protects your bones and joints from pressing into the floor and stays grounded where you roll it out.
Why we love it: This mat is made of super-grippy and durable polyvinyl chloride, and the brand is so determined to prove to you that it'll last forever that it comes with a lifetime guarantee. This makes it a great option for both yoga as well as tougher workouts. You can get the mat in an extra-long or extra-wide size as well.
What's worth noting: This mat is grippy with dry or damp palms, but if you get super sweaty, you may start to slip. There's an easy fix: place a nonslip mat towel, like the Manduka eQua Yoga Mat Towel ($42), over the mat for a heated or particularly sweaty workout.
