Why we recommend it
Thickness matters more than brand. Around 6mm is the sweet spot: enough padding that your spine and knees are comfortable during core work, thin enough that you are still stable in standing balance poses.
Look for a textured surface rather than a smooth one — smooth mats get slippery once your hands sweat, which turns every plank into a chore.
