Our Story

The Mat Index was born from a simple need: reliable, unbiased information about yoga mats. As practitioners ourselves, we struggled to find comprehensive reviews that addressed what truly matters—eco-friendliness, grip, and comfort.

We created The Mat Index to fill that gap. Our team tests every mat through rigorous evaluation across multiple practice styles and conditions. We dig deep into materials, manufacturing practices, and real-world performance.

Today, we're proud to offer both digital reviews and a printed buyer's guide, helping thousands of practitioners make informed decisions that align with their values and practice needs.

Our Mission

To empower yoga practitioners with transparent, evidence-based reviews that honor both personal practice and planetary well-being. We believe the right mat enhances your journey—and making that choice should be simple, informed, and aligned with your values.
