Shopping on Amazon can be hit or miss. And while you wouldn't think buying a good yoga mats would be such a tricky endeavour — it's a layer of rubbery foam, what's the big deal? — it can actually be pretty tough. You can't tell from an Amazon picture if a yoga mat is haunted by a persistent and nauseating chemical smell. Or if it turns insanely slippery at the first drop of sweat. Or if it offers not enough padding to protect your joints from bruises — or too much, leaving you at risk of a rolled ankle.
That's where we come in. We've scoured through the enormous inventory of Amazon to find the absolute best yoga mats based on ratings and comments, so you don't have to.
