How thick is the Yune Yoga Basalt mat and is it comfortable for joint support?

The Yune Yoga Basalt yoga mat is 6mm (about 1/4 inch) thick, providing excellent cushioning for your knees, elbows, and back. This makes it ideal for anyone looking for extra joint support during yoga, Pilates, or floor exercises. The supportive thickness balances comfort with stability, so you still stay grounded in standing poses.

Is this mat really non-slip, and does it work for hot yoga or sweaty sessions?

Yes, the Yune Yoga Basalt mat is designed with a textured, non-slip surface that gives you a secure grip—even during sweaty practices or hot yoga. The moisture-resistant top layer helps prevent slipping, so you can enjoy stability and safety whether you're doing vinyasa flows or power yoga.

What makes this yoga mat eco-friendly and safe for sensitive skin?

This Yune Yoga mat is made from high-quality PER (Polymer Environmental Resin), which is free of harmful phthalates and latex. It’s a safer choice for the environment and for those with sensitive skin or latex allergies. The mat is also digitally printed with non-toxic inks, ensuring both vivid color and material safety.

How do I clean and maintain my Yune Yoga Basalt mat?

Cleaning is easy: simply wipe the mat down with a damp cloth and mild soap after your workout. For a deeper clean, you can occasionally hose it off and let it air dry completely before storing. Thanks to its moisture-resistant and bacteria-resistant material, the mat stays fresh and hygienic with minimal effort.

Is the Yune Yoga Basalt mat durable, and will it hold up to daily use?

Absolutely! The Basalt mat is anti-tear and designed for daily use. At 24" x 72", it fits most adults comfortably, and its robust, high-density construction ensures longevity. Whether you practice gentle yoga or more intense flows, this mat maintains its shape and grip over time, making it a reliable choice for beginners and advanced yogis alike.

Why you’ll love Basalt

6 mm comfort—without the wobble
Too thin and your joints complain; too plush and balance suffers. ~6 mm is the versatile “sweet spot” many buying guides recommend for all-purpose practice—soft enough for kneeling and seated work while staying steady for standing flows and single-leg poses. If you’re deciding between thicknesses, REI’s mat guide explains the tradeoffs (cushion vs. stability) and when a textured surface adds welcome traction. REI

Grippy, non-slip texture
From Down Dog to low lunges, Basalt’s subtly textured top helps reduce sliding so you can focus on breath and alignment—not on re-centering your hands and feet. The surface is moisture-resistant, so quick wipe-downs after class are a breeze. Yune Yoga

Durable by design (and easy to clean)
Daily unrolls? Commutes? Sweaty studio sessions? No problem. An anti-tear core and a finish that’s simple to clean with mild soap and water make upkeep fast and fuss-free. Just air-dry completely before rolling to keep performance at its best. Yune Yoga

Thoughtful, safer materials
Basalt is made from PER that’s free of phthalates, latex, and heavy metals, and it’s digitally printed with UV-cure inks so the green artwork stays crisp session after session. Yune Yoga

How Basalt supports your practice

Whether you’re building heat in power vinyasa, dialing in slow mobility, cross-training with Pilates, or unwinding with restorative holds, Basalt provides a soft-yet-stable base. The cushioning eases kneeling transitions and seated poses; the textured top supports confident footing through dynamic sequences. If you practice hot, layer a full-length yoga towel—a machine-washable sweat barrier that boosts traction and keeps your mat fresher between deep cleans. For a quick refresher on how thickness, texture, and towel layering affect grip and stability, see REI’s “How to Choose a Yoga Mat.” REI

Care & cleaning (quick routine + deeper refresh)

After class: Wipe Basalt with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap; air-dry completely before rolling so moisture doesn’t get trapped. (The mat’s moisture-resistant surface makes this quick and easy.) Yune Yoga
Occasional deep clean: REI’s expert method: a short lukewarm soak + light scrub + thorough rinse, then full air-dry until the mat is completely moisture-free—especially important for thicker mats. REI
DIY in-between spray: Mix vinegar or witch hazel with water at a 1:4 ratio (optional few drops of essential oil). Mist lightly, wipe, and let dry. It’s a budget-friendly refresh when you practice several times a week. REI

Hot-class tip: A towel on top not only improves grip when you sweat—it also reduces abrasion, helping your print look great longer. REI
