Pilates Mat Recommendations

A few days ago I posted a question box on my Instagram asking for Pilates mat recommendations. I combed through all of the responses, did some research (read: online shopping) of my own, and read a lot of reviews to narrow it down… but it’s finally here! Scroll down to check out my top picks for pilates at home!

1. Manduka Pro Yoga Mat

Thickness: 6mm

Highlights: top recommendation from yoga instructors & enthusiasts.

2. B Yoga: The B Mat Strong

Thickness: 6mm

Highlights: minimalist design, comes in beautiful colors. ON SALE for $59 instead of $96!!

3. Lululemon: The Reversible Mat

Thickness: 5mm

Highlights: Reversible and comes in fun patterns! I’ve had the 3mm version of this mat for 5 years and it’s still in perfect condition!

4. 42 Birds Cork Yoga Mat
