Collection: Mats & Yoga Accessories

Mats and rollers cover the floor side of training — a mat gives grip and cushioning for floor work, gym flooring protects your floor under heavy equipment, and a foam roller helps release tight muscles afterwards. What you need depends on your training: yoga needs grip, heavy weights need impact protection, recovery needs a roller. Think about the surface you train on, the equipment going on it, and whether you want recovery tools too.

What type of mat do you need?

Mats serve quite different purposes:

• Yoga mat (and massage roller pairing): thin with a grippy surface, so you stay planted in standing poses — grip matters more than thickness here.
• Exercise or Pilates mat: thicker and softer for floor work, protecting the spine and knees during mat exercises.
• Gym flooring or interlocking tiles: dense rubber or foam protecting the floor under weights and machines, and absorbing noise.
• Equipment mat: sits under a treadmill or bike to protect flooring and reduce vibration.

How thick should a yoga mat be?

Yoga mats trade grip and stability against cushioning. A thinner mat, around 3 to 4 mm, keeps you connected to the floor and stable in standing and balancing poses, which is what most yoga practice needs. A thicker mat of 6 mm or more is softer on knees and spine, suiting floor-based work and Pilates, but it makes balancing poses noticeably wobblier. If your knees are sensitive, a thicker mat or a folded blanket under the knees during kneeling poses solves it without losing stability elsewhere. Tip: grip matters more than thickness for yoga specifically.

How do you use a foam roller?

Foam rolling involves slowly rolling a muscle over the roller using your body weight, which many people find helps release tightness and improve how a muscle feels before or after training. Move slowly rather than rapidly back and forth, and pause on tight spots for a short while. Roll the muscle bellies — quads, calves, glutes, lats — and avoid rolling directly over joints, bones or the lower back. Some discomfort is normal, but sharp pain means stop. Rollers come in different densities, and softer ones suit beginners while firmer ones apply more pressure.

Common questions

How thick should a yoga mat be?
Around 3 to 4 mm gives stability for standing and balancing poses; 6 mm or more is softer for floor work but wobblier when balancing. Grip matters more than thickness for yoga.

Do I need gym flooring under weights?
Yes if you're dropping or setting down heavy weights — dense rubber flooring protects the floor beneath, reduces noise and stops equipment sliding or denting the surface.

How do you use a foam roller?
Roll the muscle slowly over the roller using body weight, pausing on tight spots. Roll muscle bellies like quads, calves and glutes, and avoid rolling over joints, bones or the lower back.

Should I roll before or after training?
Both are common — rolling before can help mobility for the session, rolling after can help how muscles feel. Move slowly and stop if anything is sharply painful rather than pushing through.
