Stakt Yoga Mat ($88)
The foldable design of the Stakt Mat isn't just a gimmick. It's designed to let you create extra cushioning or height when you need it during moves like an elbow plank or split squat, without the need for a separate cushion or exercise block.
Why we love it: The Stakt Mat delivers on its promise of extra cushioning in a pinch. "When coaching or working out on my own, sometimes I need to quickly provide additional support for the knee joint, particularly for exercises starting from a half-kneeling or tall-kneeling position... the Stakt Mat eliminates the need to reach for something else." Jade Esmeralda, health and fitness staff writer for PS, says in a review of the Stakt Mat and the Stakt Mat Pro: "Most traditional yoga mat designs can be a bit fussy to roll up, but this design folds up super quickly and makes it very easy to store."
What's worth noting: Many customers love the innovative design, but some reviewers wish the mat covered more surface area. And because it folds instead of rolls, it may not fit in the yoga mat carry straps in some standard gym bags (although Stakt sells their own bag). Compared to the traditional Stakt Mat, the Stakt Mat Pro features a premium textured layer on the mat surface, allowing for more stability and grip during high-intensity sessions.
