Whether you’re outfitting your commercial yoga studio or want to create a space in your home where you can practice yoga on your own, a quality yoga mat is essential. Your yoga mat flooring not only keeps you comfortable but can help give you the traction you need to feel secure and strong in your poses.
But yoga mats aren’t one-size-fits-all. Your needs for traction, cushion, size, and durability will partially depend on your preferences and how you’ll be using the mat. You’ll find a large selection of yoga mats and flooring available for sale at Greatmats. We’ve carefully curated our products to be suitable for both commercial and home use, and we’re proud to stock some of the best yoga mat options available on the market today.
While traditional yoga pairs well with plenty of flooring options, hot yoga demands a more specific type of flooring. This moisture-heavy yoga means you’ll need a flooring that’s easy to clean, and that’s also moisture-resistant for hygiene purposes.
The Max Tiles Raised Flooring delivers on all of those counts. This flooring system consists of raised tiles that let air and moisture flow beneath them for prompt drying. Their 3 mm laminate vinyl surface is on top of a polypropylene base, making the tiles strong and durable.
The surface layer helps to keep them looking great for years to come, ideal for commercial studios where they’ll see plenty of use. Cleaning them is easy – just use a damp mop.
The tiles connect with a tab and loop system that’s highly durable and that establishes a strong connection, so the tiles won’t pull apart. You can uninstall and reinstall the tiles again and again.
Ideal for commercial studios, the Athletic Vinyl Padded Roll delivers excellent shock absorption and looks like real wood. This flooring is highly durable and easy to clean, and it’s fade-resistant for long-lasting aesthetics. You can vacuum, broom, or damp mop it to keep it looking great, and the ergonomic design maximizes comfort.
This flooring features a rubber backing that’s topped with a 2 mm vinyl top layer fusion bonded to the rubber. It comes in a roll with a standard 30 linear foot length, making it an affordable option for your commercial yoga studio.
Plyometric Rubber Rolls are highly versatile flooring that you can use in place of a yoga mat. Available in ½-inch and 3/8-inch thicknesses, these black rubber rolls are comfortable to stand and sit on, while also being durable enough to withstand more intense workouts. Their traction helps to prevent a slip or slide, while the rolls are versatile enough for other fitness needs, too.
These rolls are also very easy to install. You can dry lay them on top of existing flooring, or opt for a glue-down installation for a more permanent option.
