Best yoga mat in India for Home Use

Final Verdict:  Buy this KOBO NBR mat only if you want the thickest yoga mat otherwise you can look at boldfit or Qatalyze mats. And with this kobo mat you can not move around as it will be very heavy.

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.

Also this mat is highly durable and may not show any sign of wear and tear for a long time.

The NBR kobo mat does not slip and it is waterproof. And this is latex free and non toxic.

Comes with a carry strap which seems durable and hopefully will last as long as this 15mm thick mat does.

As per KOBO they recommend to clean this mat using warm water, a damp cloth and non-oil based soap.

Pros:

• Non toxic
• Durable
• Really thick. Much thickerm at than other yoga mats for yoga practice.
• Easy to clean
• Can be used for push up, sit ups, hatha yoga, prenatal yoga, pilates, restorative yoga and more.
• Anti-slip material.
• Comes with a carrying strap

Cons:

• Some users have reported that the mat has a strong or unpleasant smell, possibly due to chemicals used in manufacturing.
• Some users have reported that the mat has a strong or unpleasant smell, possibly due to chemicals used in manufacturing.

Final Verdict:  A great quality premium yoga mat in India that comes with its own carrying case. And the premium quality also comes with a premium price.

Ideal Yoga mat for those who also want to do some aerobic activities! This is also one of the sticky yoga mats

Qatalyze yoga mat is one of the widest yoga mat in India, it has a width of 66 cm. The total dimensions of the TPE yoga mats are 183cmx66cmx8mm. Also in terms of quality this is one of the best yoga mat in India.

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

The front of the mat has laser engraved 3000 anti-skid lines and the back of the mat has wavy anti-skid pattern. This ensures that this yoga mat will not slip when you are on it. And this TPE yoga mat in India is suitable for all types of even floors.

I like the thickness of 8 mm of the mat, this can protect the knees and other joints while doing yoga practice. It is also comfortable to sit on this mat.

Most of the brands have 61 cm wide mats but this one is 66 cm, the extra width is useful sometimes.

This TPE yoga mat by Qatalyze has a moisture resistance technology which makes it easy to wash and clean and also makes it sweat resistant.

TPE is non toxic and eco-friendly material.

This Yoga mat is also non tearable, odorless and somewhat premium.

Pros:

• Extra wide.
• Mat is made of PVC-free TPE material which is environment-friendly and recyclable. The material is durable and of good quality.
• Durable.
• Good grip, suitable for long yoga exercises.
• Comes with a good carry case, which makes it easy to store and carry around.
• Much better than a spongy NBR mat when it comes to floor grip.
• Definitely the best tpe yoga mat in India
• Good carrying strap to carry to your yoga sessions

Cons:

• Pricey.

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!

Boldfit 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.

NBR material used in this boldfit mat is eco friendly and durable.

It does not absorb water or sweat and is easy to clean it off.

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.

Without compression resistance the mat would change shape when under pressure.

This Dr trust yoga mat also have better grip on all types of even floors and it is sweat and water resistant.

This is great for yoga, meditation, pilates but not for rigorous weight training.

This yoga mat is also easy to clean and maintain.

Dr trust yoga mat provides a stable platform to do yoga of all kind and it has dual layer feature also. The front part is soft and provides cushioning and bak part has a pattern that sticks to the ground nicely.

Another feature is the rebound resilience which makes this Yoga mat in India more durable.

The length of this mat is 183cm and the width of the mat is 61 cm. And the weight is 1.1 kg only.

The weight makes it great to be used as a travel friendly yoga mat in India.

• Non toxic
• No odor.
• Good non slip yoga mat for hot yoga practice, but do not do something aerobic.

• One of the trusted and best yoga mat brand in India.

Cons:

• The bag that comes with the mat is of poor quality and may not be convenient to put the mat back in.

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.

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.

The design is odour free and hypoallergenic. So there will not be a bad smell and you do not have to worry about any allergies.

The mat is designed to reduce impact but for that you actually have gym floor mats. I would not recommend doing many jumping workouts on this. This mat has a thickness of 6 mm.
