Why these picks

  • Ordering is mechanical: customer rating first, then review count, then a stable tie-break. Commission is not an input, and no listing can pay for a position.
  • 0 of the 34 listings carry a customer rating. Unrated listings are not hidden — they sort to the bottom, where you can still see them.
  • No brand quota is applied. KAYMAN holds 6 of the 34 places because that is what the catalogue contains, not because it was favoured.
  • Prices and availability were last read from Amazon UK on 2026-11-01; 29 of the 34 were in stock at that point. Always check the live page before buying.
  • Thickness is stated in millimetres for every pick, so a mat aimed at balance work is not compared like-for-like with one aimed at floor cushioning.
  • The material is named rather than described as 'eco' or 'premium', because material is what decides weight, cleaning and smell.
  • Length and width are read against the user's height, not assumed to be standard.
  • Behaviour when damp is treated separately from grip when dry, since they are different properties of the same surface.
  • Weight is only counted against a mat that has to be carried to a class.

Buying guide

What to look for

Thickness trades cushioning against stability

Thickness is quoted in millimetres and it decides the mat's whole character. More material between you and a hard floor is more comfortable for kneeling, lying and elbow work; it is also a compressible layer under your hands and feet, which makes standing balance poses feel less settled. Practices built around balance and practices built around floor work pull in opposite directions here, so the right thickness depends on which one you do.

Grip when dry and grip when damp are two different things

A smooth mat gets its grip from friction against dry skin, so sweat between hand and mat acts as a lubricant and the same mat that felt secure at the start becomes slippery later. Textured, rubber and cork-topped surfaces are sold specifically for damp grip. If your practice makes you sweat, the dry showroom feel of a mat tells you very little.

Material decides weight, smell and how it ages

PVC is hard-wearing and wipes clean; TPE is lighter, softer and usually a foam; natural rubber is heavy, grippy and has a strong smell when new; a cork top layer is normally bonded to a rubber base. None of these is simply better than the others — they differ in what they weigh, how they clean and how long they hold their surface.

Closed-cell or open-cell surface

A closed-cell surface does not absorb moisture, so sweat sits on top and the mat wipes clean. An open-cell surface absorbs it, which can help grip and makes the mat harder to clean and slower to dry. This is the single spec that explains most complaints about smell.

Length and width, not only thickness

Mats are sold in a range of lengths and the figures are on the listing, but almost nobody checks them against their own height. Running out of mat in a lying-down pose or a plank is a sizing problem no amount of cushioning fixes, and floor space at home is the other half of the same question.

What the mat is actually for

A yoga mat, a thick exercise mat for floor workouts and a heavy protective mat that lives under equipment are three different products that look similar in a listing photo. Buying across those lines is the most common reason a mat disappoints: a thick foam mat is poor at balance work, and a thin yoga mat is poor at cushioning knees under a weights session.

Common mistakes

  • Buying the thickest mat on the page for yoga, then finding every standing balance pose feels unsteady — thickness suits knee-heavy floor work, not balance.
  • Choosing on colour and print, and discovering the weight only when carrying the mat to a class for the first time.
  • Ignoring the stated length, so a taller user runs off the end of the mat in any lying-down pose.
  • Buying a thin travel mat as the everyday mat because it packs small, and using it on a hard floor.
  • Using a yoga mat as equipment protection under weights, which is a different product with a different job.
  • Washing a mat without reading its care instructions: an open-cell mat soaks up the water it is washed in, and drying is the slow part.
  • Assuming that a mat which grips in the shop will grip once you sweat on it.

Frequently asked questions

How much do yoga mats under £100 cost in the UK?
The 34 yoga mats under £100 on this page run from £7.99 to £39.99, averaging £17.61. Half of them are listed at or below £13.99. Amazon UK prices move, so treat these as the figures at the last catalogue refresh rather than today's shelf price.
Which brands make yoga mats under £100?
22 brands appear in this selection: KAYMAN (6), OZE SPORTS (4), Myga (2), OUTDOUSE (2), YOGATI (2) and Yogii (2), plus 16 more. The number in brackets is how many listings each has here, not a ranking of the brands themselves.
How many yoga mats are under £100?
34 of the 35 yoga mats we list — about 97%. Everything outside that 97% is still on the main yoga mats page; this page is a filtered view of it, not a separate catalogue.
What thickness of yoga mat should I buy?
There is no single correct thickness, and a figure quoted here without a source would be invented. The trade-off is reliable, though: more thickness means more cushioning under knees and elbows and less stability in standing balance poses. If you know which of those two bothers you more, you know which direction to move in.
What is the difference between a yoga mat and an exercise mat?
A yoga mat is built around grip and a stable surface, so it is comparatively thin and firm. An exercise mat is built around cushioning for floor work, so it is thicker and softer. Both are on the listing as a thickness and a material, which is the quickest way to tell which one you are looking at.
PVC, TPE or natural rubber — what is the practical difference?
PVC is a hard-wearing plastic that wipes clean and is usually smooth. TPE is a lighter foam, softer underfoot and generally textured. Natural rubber is heavier, grippier and smells strongly when new. The choice is mostly about weight, surface feel and cleaning rather than about quality.
