There isn't really a "best" type of yoga mat, as different types of yoga mats can be better suited for different people and purposes. When selecting a yoga mat, keep the following factors in mind:
If you prefer a bit of cushioning, look for a thicker mat (around 5-8mm).
1. If you prefer a more grounded feel, a thinner mat (around 2-3mm) might be more your style.
Yoga mats are typically made of either rubber, PVC, or a blend of materials.
Rubber mats are more eco-friendly, but they can be more expensive and tend to have a strong smell when new.
PVC mats are generally cheaper and don't have as much of an odor, but they are not as eco-friendly.
A mat with good grip can be especially important for hot yoga or for poses where you need a lot of traction. Look for a mat with a textured surface to help you stay in place.
Make sure the mat is long enough for your height and wide enough for your build. You don't want your hands and feet hanging off the edges of the mat while you practice.
Ultimately, the best yoga mat for you is the one that feels comfortable and provides the right amount of support for your practice.
It's a good idea to try out a few different mats before making a decision.
