What is the best yoga mat to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Yoga Mat in the UK is the KAYMAN Non-Slip Extra Thick 8mm NBR Foam Yoga Mat, 180x60cm.
The KAYMAN 8mm NBR Foam Yoga Mat suits buyers who want one mat for yoga and general exercise: the listing states high density NBR foam, an 8mm thickness, a 180x60cm size, a non-slip back surface and an included strap.
The KAYMAN 8mm NBR yoga mat is our top pick because its listing states high density NBR foam, an 8mm thickness, a 180x60cm size, a non-slip back surface with a ribbed foam surface and an included carry strap. For a thinner mat with alignment lines, the Yogii is 6mm TPE with a rippled base and laser-engraved alignment lines; for the thickest padding here, the Kingdom Fitness mat is 20mm NBR at 183x61cm and comes with a carry bag, strap and resistance band.
This guide compares five yoga mats from KAYMAN, Yogii, Kingdom Fitness, ROMIX and Bionix on what each listing states: thickness, material, size, grip surface, carry strap or bag and cleaning. Stated thicknesses run from 6mm (Yogii) to 20mm (Kingdom Fitness); four of the mats list NBR and the Yogii lists TPE. For Pilates and floor exercise, the Bionix lists 10mm of soft NBR foam that it says is designed for floor-based comfort.
Buying guide
What should you look for in Yoga Mat?
1Thickness: the listings state 6mm (Yogii), 8mm (KAYMAN), 10mm (Bionix), 15 mm (ROMIX) and 20mm (Kingdom Fitness). Bionix says its soft, cushioned build is designed for floor-based comfort rather than the firm feel of a thin performance yoga mat; Yogii describes its 6mm as a balance of cushioning and stability.
2Material: KAYMAN, Kingdom Fitness and Bionix list NBR foam and ROMIX lists NBR; KAYMAN and Kingdom Fitness describe their foam as high-density. Yogii lists TPE, which it says is sweat-resistant and water-resistant.
3Size: KAYMAN lists 180x60cm in its title and a length of 72.05 inches in its product details, Bionix 180 x 60 cm, ROMIX 180 x 61 cm and Kingdom Fitness 183x61cm (6ft long, 2ft wide). The Yogii listing gives 183 cm x 59.01 cm x 0.6 cm in its product details.
4Grip: KAYMAN lists a non-slip back surface and a ribbed foam surface; Kingdom Fitness textured, double-sided non-slip surfaces; ROMIX a textured non-slip surface; Yogii a rippled base and a textured top layer, and it says TPE mats may feel slightly slippery when new. The Bionix listing does not mention a non-slip surface.
5Carrying and cleaning: Kingdom Fitness and ROMIX include a carry bag and strap, KAYMAN and Bionix a carry strap; the Yogii listing mentions no strap or bag. KAYMAN says its water-resistant foam cleans off easily, Kingdom Fitness says its mat wipes clean with soap and water, and Bionix advises wiping with a damp cloth; Yogii says to wipe its mat with a damp cloth before first use.
Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
None of these five listings states a warranty term or names a materials certification. Four describe their grip surface (ribbed, textured, rippled); the Bionix listing does not mention a non-slip surface, and Yogii says TPE mats may feel slightly slippery when new and should be wiped with a damp cloth before first use.
Our Take
As a default, pick the KAYMAN 8mm: high density NBR foam, a 180x60cm size, a non-slip back surface and an included strap, all on the listing. For a thinner mat with alignment lines, the 6mm TPE Yogii; for the thickest mat here, the 20mm Kingdom Fitness, which comes with a carry bag, strap and resistance band.
