Non-Slip Yoga Mats
Whether buyers call it a non skid yoga mat, a grippy yoga mat or an anti slip yoga mat, they mean the same thing: a surface that stays put. Across our 42 mats, PU + Rubber, Frosted PU + Rubber, Cork + Rubber and natural Rubber hold traction best, and grip actually improves as hands and feet warm up or sweat, while TPE and PVC can feel slicker once damp. Thickness runs 0.15cm to 0.8cm, priced $9.99 to $55.99 depending on material and size.
If you keep sliding out of downward dog and you are shopping for a sticky yoga mat because your palms slip once you start sweating, choose a PU + Rubber, Frosted PU + Rubber or Cork + Rubber mat — these textured surfaces grip harder as they warm up, unlike smoother TPE or PVC. If grip has never been your problem and you mainly want a soft, cushioned mat for general workouts instead, this is not the page for you — see our pilates and exercise mat guide.
| Material | Grip | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PU + Rubber / Frosted PU + Rubber | High | Textured top layer stays tacky even when hands sweat |
| Cork + Rubber | High | Natural cork grips better as it absorbs moisture |
| Rubber | Moderate to high | Dense natural base holds the floor without much sliding |
| TPE / PVC | Moderate | Smoother surface, best suited to drier, lower-sweat sessions |
| PVC | Moderate | Smoother surface, best suited to drier, lower-sweat sessions |
- What counts as a non skid yoga mat?
Any mat whose top surface resists sliding underfoot or under palms — in practice that means PU + Rubber, Frosted PU + Rubber or Cork + Rubber rather than plain TPE or PVC.
- What makes a grippy yoga mat?
A textured top layer that holds hands and feet in place — our Rubber-based materials deliver this, and traction improves further as the surface warms up.
- Where can I find an anti slip yoga mat for hot yoga?
PU + Rubber and Cork + Rubber hold their grip even in sweaty, high-heat sessions, which is why we recommend them for hot yoga.
- Is a sticky yoga mat good for beginners?
Yes — extra tack helps beginners hold poses without the mat sliding, and Cork + Rubber or PU + Rubber options grip more as your hands warm up.
- What thickness should I pick for a non-slip mat?
Grip comes from the surface material, not thickness — our non-slip materials come in 0.15cm to 0.8cm depending on the model.
- Which is the best non slip yoga mat for sweaty hands?
PU + Rubber and Frosted PU + Rubber are our best non slip yoga mat picks for sweaty hands — grip improves rather than drops as the surface warms up.
- Is this considered an anti skid yoga mat?
Yes — our textured PU and cork surfaces all qualify, holding traction even as hands and feet sweat during practice.
- Do you offer a nonslip yoga mat in bulk for studios?
Yes — a nonslip yoga mat in these grip-focused materials is available as a factory-direct bulk order for studios and brands.
