We Tested 17 Yoga Mats. Here's What We Found.

That’s why we’re not presenting an overall ranking of the 17 yoga mats we tested. Instead, we’re showing how they scored in four key metrics: drying time, cushioning, how well they grip the floor, and how well they grip your hands and feet.

“Each of our tested mats would likely be the perfect mat for somebody out there, so we are not providing Overall Scores,” says Bernie Deitrick, who led CR’s testing of yoga mats. “Our tests were designed to show the differences in performance that a user can expect.”

Here, you’ll find more information on different types of mats and how each model performed in our tests. The models we tested range in price from $20 to $130.
