Why 6 mm hits the comfort–control sweet spot
If your knees, hips, or wrists appreciate extra support, 6 mm often lands in the “just-right” zone—plush for pressure relief yet steady for balance work. Recent expert roundups highlight that thicker mats (≈6 mm or more) are especially kind during gentle or restorative flows, while slightly thinner mats (~4–5 mm) can feel a touch steadier for advanced balancing. Choose based on your preferred ground feel and class type. SELFYoga Journal
Design & materials (made to practice—and last)
Nakata’s PER base delivers dependable support while helping you avoid common rubber allergens. The textured, non-slip top keeps hands and feet planted on dry skin; the UV-cured digital print preserves the deep-black palette over time; and the moisture-resistant surface wipes clean quickly—ideal for busy schedules and post-class resets. All details are per the Nakata listing. Yune Yoga

Traction you can trust
From standing sequences to core circuits, Nakata’s texture supports intentional, stable movement. If you practice hot yoga or sweat heavily, layer a mat-sized yoga towel to boost grip and create a washable sweat barrier—our Yoga Towels collection offers quick-dry options made for heated classes and studio hygiene. Yune Yoga
Care & cleaning (simple + effective)
Daily upkeep is easy: wipe with mild soap and water, then air-dry flat away from direct sun. For periodic deep cleans, REI’s expert method recommends a short soak → gentle scrub with a soft cloth → thorough rinse → complete air-dry (about 1 Tbsp dish soap per gallon of warm water). Prefer a fast post-class spritz? REI’s DIY formula uses a 1:4 vinegar (or witch hazel) : water ratio—always follow your mat’s care notes first. REI+1
Pro tips
-
Keep a travel-size spray bottle in your bag for quick wipe-downs; let the mat dry completely before rolling to preserve texture. REI
-
In heated classes, use a full-length towel as a grip-boosting, machine-washable barrier that also keeps your mat fresher between deep cleans. Yune Yoga
