10 Expert-Approved Pilates Mats to Strengthen Your Practice

Manduka Pro Multipurpose Mat ($99)

The more you use this Pilates mat, the grippier its surface is designed to become. If you want a mat that provides you with the most stability possible — and which you can also use for yoga and other types of workouts — you won't be disappointed by this highly rated Manduka mat.

Why we love it: The thinness of the mat allows for optimal balance, but it's still comfortable because of the high-density cushion. "Such a great mat! It [takes] a few classes to 'break it in' but once you do the grip is amazing! I need a little extra support for my knees after a few surgeries and this mat is great for that!" a reviewer writes.

What's worth noting: This mat is made from PVC, which means it isn't the most eco-friendly option despite how slip-resistant it is.
