Harbinger Antimicrobial DuraFoam Mat ($50-$70)
Especially if you do Pilates in a studio, your mat can easily harbor bacteria, which is precisely why Johnson recommends ones that have an antimicrobial or odor-resistant coating. This Harbinger Pilates mat is also moisture resistant, making it a solid choice for those wanting to keep the buildup of dirt and smells to a minimum.
Why we love it: The DuraFoam material isn't slippery at all, and the majority of customers find it extremely comfortable. "Any position, back, front, sides, knees, feet, hands, elbows, everything feels SO much better during exercising with this than on the older one I was replacing, not to mention the floor," one reviewer notes.
What's worth noting: The antimicrobial, anti-odor coating gives the mat a chemical smell that some find hard to ignore.
