SANGLOBAL 100% COTTON YOGA MAT is the best yoga mat in India! I have been using it for the past 2 years and it is still as durable as when it was new. If you want a thick EVA foam build yoga mat then the Kobo yoga mat 15mm is the best choice for your use case. However, if you want a yoga mat that is way larger than others then the Qatalyze TPE Yoga Mat will be your best option when it comes to yoga mats.
All these yoga mats are priced under 2000 INR except the Sangloabl mat. Do note that: exercise mats and yoga mats are different. Exercise mats are meant to be used with shoes whereas the Yoga mats are intended to be used with bare feet. And no matter the yoga mat you buy it should be handled with care.

These are my favourite yoga mat brands in order of my preference. I have chosen these best yoga mat brands as per their thickness, durability and gripping power and Eco-friendliness.
Top 4 factors to choose Yoga mats!
Firstly the mat selection will depend on what type of yoga you do. If you do Hatha yoga then you do not need thick or grippy yoga mats, usual yoga mats would do. But if you are going to do handstands, Ashtanga, Shirshasan then you would need a thick mat with a lot of grip on the floor. And for spiritual yoga practice you also do not need thick yoga mats. You might like cotton yoga mats for this.
Different Yoga Styles/ Yoga Asanas
Kundalini Yoga: A physical yet a spiritual yoga style with chanting and even singing.
Vinyasa Yoga: Also known as flow yoga with lot movement and many are related to stretching.
Hatha Yoga: a mix of Asana, Pranayama, meditation. Great for beginners.
Ashtanga Yoga: A routine of six series of yoga poses, physical yet spiritual yoga style where sessions could be 90 minutes long.
Yin Yoga: Good yoga style for stretching and a slow style of Yoga. Good for recovery.
Iyengar Yoga: A more classical form of Yoga with detailed instructions.
Bikram Yoga: A hot yoga with rules, routines and physical practice.
Power Yoga: Similar to Ashtanga yoga style but less rules. Can be used to strengthen your muscles.
Sivananda Yoga: A more spiritual form of Yoga.
Restorative Yoga: A yoga to make you feel more relaxed, reduce stress.
Prenatal Yoga: A yoga style for new moms and moms to be.
Aerial Yoga: Traditional yoga styles with a hammock?
Acro yoga: Good for couples.
Type of Yoga will help you determine the ideal Yoga mat
- For Kundalini, acro, Yin, Aerial, restorative, sivananda yoga style you can go with lower thickness and less grippy material.
- For Hatha yoga you would need a comfortable yoga mat.
- For rest of them like Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, Power yoga etc you should go with extra thick yoga mat in India.
Material
PVC, Foam, TPE are the most common materials for yoga mats. You can also use cotton jute. Although note that eco friendly yoga mats are not good for gripping power but these are comfortable. Check material used for yoga mats to know more on this in detail.
If you are allergic to latex then do not buy rubber mats. In that case you can switch to cotton or jute material.
Depending on the material used, the durability and prices of these mats fluctuate. PVC mats are usually sold at low price and natural material yoga mats are sold at higher priced. In middle ground you will find NBR mats.
Thickness
- 6 mm and above: protects knees and elbows and other parts that touch the ground. These are heavy and thick. The extra cushioning is great for protecting your knees and with sticky yoga mats you can do some aerobic exercies too.
- 4 mm – 5 mm: Good yoga poses and slower yoga styles.
- 2mm – 3mm: Good for Restorative Yoga and good for all spiritual styles of yoga.
Size
A good size yoga mat is around 6 feet long and 2 feet wide. You can try and look for longer and wider Yoga mats but most Yoga mats in India are of this size.
But smaller and lightweight mats for yoga are most ideal yoga mat for carrying for your yoga classes!

If you are after a premium yoga mat, then this yoga mat is a must-buy!
This is the best yoga mat that I have personally used. And I have other mats as well.

- The whole yoga mat is biodegradable.
- The rubber used is very high quality and this makes the yoga mat very heavy as well.

KOBO is a known fitness equipment maker and I really like this NBR material made yoga mat.
Since it is NBR material it is somewhat eco-friendly and durable. The key feature for which you should get this yoga mat is the thickness. So far this is the thickest yoga mat in India at 15mm.
It has a width of 2 feet and 6 feet of length.
This is a great thick yoga mat to do yoga that requires you to put your knees, wrists on the ground. It provides maximum cushioning to your hands, back, knees.

It also comes with a premium carry case but the thickness of 8mm makes the yoga mat heavy.

Average Score: 6.5 out of 10
The Boldfit Yoga Mats received an average rating of 6.5 out of 10. The mats provide decent functionality and value for money. However, some concerns were raised about quality, comfort, size and overall user experience. For the price point, they offer reasonable quality but lack premium features.
Top use case: Budget yoga and exercise mat for home use.
Target users: Beginner yoga practitioners on a budget.
Final Verdict: Another great product by boldfit, use this mat in home or carry for yoga classes, the thick cushion of 10mm will help your joints. A great platform to practice yoga!
Check on HealthkartBoldfit yoga mat is for both men and women and it has a thickness of 10mm. For men I would recommend they get boldfit yoga mat/Kobo 15mm yoga mat or the Qatalyze yoga mat.
From these three, the qatalyze have extra width and have great anti-slip technology. Also it is the costliest.
Boldfit yoga mat is not that costly but it is also not for planks or exercises that require stretching or heavy gripping power.
But for skipping and yoga poses that require balance boldfit is great and economical.
If you are a heavy guy or girl then you might consider a kobo mat as it has the highest thickness otherwise 10mm thickness is also great.
Boldfit uses NBR material so it has a spongy feeling and good for jumps and impact absorption.
This comes with a carrying strap so you can carry it but it has a great size of 2 feet width and 6 feet of length.
For any average Indian men or women this size works but if you want longer yoga mats then look into this one – Montisa Geometric Beach Yoga Mat.

It does not absorb water or sweat and is easy to clean it off.
Pros:
- Eco-friendly
- 10mm of thickness

Dr Trust yoga mat is made with NBR and thus it has a bouncy feeling. The foam type NBR material has 0.5 inch thickness and it will be useful if you have knee, elbow, wrist pain.
The key features of this NBR mat are, non toxic material which is also eco-friendly. And Dr trust also make sure that this mat is anti scratch and have compression resistance.

Final Verdict: For the thickness alone I have put this mat in the category of best yoga mat under 1000 INR but the grip or traction is poor most of the time. The cushion is great but for the grip you might not like it. You may consider the VIFITKIT® Yoga Mat Anti Skid EVA Yoga mat which has multiple variants but has moderate grip. Or you can get the Qatalyze TPE Yoga Mat which has super grip on any even floor.
Apart from the kobo yoga mat amazonbasics yoga mat gives you extra thickness. It has 13mm of thickness which is enough to support knees, elbows, wrist while doing any style of yoga.
It comes with a strap and is available in multiple color.

Final Verdict: If you want a TPE mat that does not burn a hole into your pocket then you can consider this to be your Yoga mat. This is an average mat in terms of impact resistance as it has 6mm thickness. And it comes with straps but no carrying case.
Stauss TPE dual layer mat has one surface on the top and another at the bottom.
TPE is more dense than NBR and PVC and it is also somewhat eco-friendly.
Top layer is anti-skid and there is a tear resistance mesh and then comes the ground layer.
Top features of this mat are – anti skid, odorless, eco friendly, light weight.
Stauss also has a dynamic springback balanced decompression feature. It buffers the force that you put on the mat, reducing impact force.

Best yoga mat thickness
As mentioned in the top 4 factors to choose from Yoga mats, the thickness will depend on what you do. I would recommend to buy at least 8mm yoga mat for any power yoga, Iyengar yoga etc. 8 mm yoga mat thickness should be the best ideal option for anyone.
If you want to do shirshasans or asana that have to put pressure on knee, elbows then you would need a thick Yoga mat.
For Asanas that are not so tough or do not put pressure on the knee, elbows that can be done on not so thick yoga mats.

Also if you have knee pain or wrist pain etc then always go for thick yoga mats, at least 6mm yoga mats in India.
- 12mm+ yoga mats: Good for pilates.
- 6 mm and above: protects knees and elbows and other parts that touch the ground. These are heavy and thick.
- 4 mm – 5 mm: Good poses and slower yoga styles.
- 2mm – 3mm: Good for Restorative Yoga and good for all spiritual styles of yoga.
I would say the best yoga mat thickness would be around 4mm – 5mm. It will provide you enough cushion if you have healthy knee and arms and will also provide you with enough grip.
