10 Most Expensive Yoga Mats: Are They Worth It?

5. Manduka Unisex PRO Squared Yoga Mat

Price: $ 296 (down from $360)

We’re up to the expensive mats now. Manduka is one brand that’s quite well regarded among professionals and beyond. The price alone speaks of the higher quality the mat is supposed to have and the reviews are there to back up the claims.

The mat in question is a 78 by 78-inch square mat, giving you more room than the regular narrower versions that we all know and associate with the concept of “yoga mat.” The ¼ inch thick mattress offers plenty of support for your spine, hips, knees and elbows, even if it’s placed on hard floors. The premium mat is slip resistant, but it’s not sticky, unlike other similar products.

People who have bought and tried it are more than happy with their purchase. The fact that it has a square shape is praised by many of these yoga fans since they don’t have to rotate the mat depending on the direction they’re exercising in. They believe that while this is an expensive mat, once you try it out you’ll never want to do your exercises on a regular one again.
