Pilates Mat Floor Mat 170cm x 55cm x 10mm - Pink

Because a comfortable mat only adds to your motivation, we suggest paying close attention when choosing the thickness of your mat. If you're doing a gentle activity in bare feet, opt for a mat that is at least 10 mm thick, with a soft, spongy texture. If you're doing dynamic strength training exercises, 7 mm is thick enough. The length is also important. For example, for Pilates or strength training, opt for a mat that is at least as long as you are tall.

In Pilates, the most important thing is comfort - in other words, mat thickness is key: you need to have padding between you and the floor. In yoga, you need a mat that grips the floor so it (and you) won't slip when changing positions.
