Most Pilates workouts involve mat work of some sort which can be considered to be the cornerstone of Pilates exercises. It is possible for numerous exercises as well as many modifications to be performed either in group sessions or in personal sessions on the mat. The best Pilates mat will be thick and durable and can be used in gyms, homes or studios as it is mostly designed for protecting and cushioning the spine throughout the mat work routines.

Types of Pilates Mats

The thicker style Pilates mats are ideal for Pilates exercises. They should also have ribbed, closed cell structures to impart a soft touch to the user as well as provide firm support.

Pilates mats come in a variety of styles and in order to get the best ones, you should check out their sizes, thicknesses, densities, colors, textures as well as materials used in order to get the best buy for you. Typical prices for a Pilates mat ranges from US$25 to US$45. If you want to carry the mat to different locations make sure that it has attached handles and can be folded and that the texture is light.

The Pilates Express Mat is much thicker than a yoga mat and provides ample protection to the spine. It is made of Velcro straps that enable an individual to roll and go and is the ideal mat for toting to the gym or studio. Its high quality closed cell foam allows the individual to experience maximum as well as optimized comfort. In addition, it is also very durable. This Pilates mat is available in green and blue colors.

Another useful Pilates mat is the club quality mat that can easily be rolled and is ideal for using in multi-use facilities. The Deluxe Pilates mat is made of closed-cell foam which provides plenty of comfort to the user and can also withstand repeated use.

There is also the Professional Raised Mat which is can be used in studios and has dense foam padding plus a surface that supports the individual and also gives proprioceptive feedback.

It is available in many colors and can be customized to suit the facility's design. You can create a special look using any of the 75 custom colors and the price is very affordable as well.
