The Yogo travel mat is the mat I have and I just love it! It’s also my pick for the best yoga mat for travel overall, because it’s lightweight, portable, and foldable so it ticks all the boxes. It is also one of the best quality yoga mats I have ever used.

My Yogo Ultralight Travel Mat review is only full of plusses. These Yogo mats are so compact they pack down to about the size of a newspaper or a large water bottle, perfect for storing on the side of your backpack. At 1 kg it’s also a lightweight travel yoga mat, and an ultra-thin yoga mat at 1.5 mm thick.

Despite being super thin, I still find the Yogo yoga mat provides great support and is plenty big enough for my yoga practice. It also has great stickiness, so you won’t slide around whilst you’re doing your yoga poses. I love how eco-friendly it is too with the sticky material on the mat being sustainably harvested rubber and the company also plants a tree every time a mat is purchased.

Some other great features of the Yogo travel yoga mat include the unique origami-type folding making it fit into small bags with ease. Plus the attached straps and clips which keep it rolled up tightly and the ability to wash the mat down is great if you’re doing yoga outdoors. It’s so good, I would say this is the best foldable travel yoga mat in this article!

This is one of the more expensive mats in this guide, but for me, it still deserves its spot as the best-rated yoga mat for travel overall due to its great features. Hot yoga or Bikram yoga, however, may actually decrease the stickiness. I would recommend using your yoga towel over the mat for this activity.

Lastly, the material of the Yogo yoga mat is completely eco-friendly. Using natural tree rubber, you can avoid the toxic chemicals that are often used to make yoga mats (such as PVC).

If you’re someone who requires extra padding for your knees during your yoga practice, then consider the Jade Yoga Travel Mat, one of the thickest mats in this guide.

With a thickness of 3 mm, the Jade Travel Mat is one of the thickest yoga mats in our reviews, which also makes it one of the heaviest at 1.45 kgs. However, it is nice and compact, folding down to the size of a yoga block or you have the option of rolling it.

Being a thicker mat, the Jade travel yoga mat is certainly cushier than the other mats in this review, giving you extra support for your poses. It is also plenty sticky enough to provide adequate grip. If you want something lighter, they also make the Jade Voyager yoga mat which weighs 0.7 kg but is also thinner as well at 1.5 mm.

To minimize environmental impact, the Jade foldable yoga mat is made from sustainable natural rubber and does not contain any PVC, EVA, heavy metals, or synthetic rubber. And like the Yogo mat, Jade also plants a tree every time a mat is sold.

Reading any Jade travel mat review, you will find happy customers. One Jade yoga mat review stated they had used the packable yoga mat daily for 18 months and it’s still going strong.

The Jade mat comes in 5 different colors and is also available in two different sizes – 173 or 188 cm long.

The Manduka eKO SuperLite Travel Mat is an excellent choice for a super lightweight travel mat at a great affordable price. The Manduka SuperLite travel mat also comes in a whopping 17 colors, so no matter what your preference, there is bound to be a color you love.

At only 900 g this Manduka travel yoga mat is one of the lightest mats in this guide, but it still offers plenty of support with a thickness of 1.5 mm. This mat folds up nice and compactly just like a towel, so it’s super portable and easily packed away in your bag. Whilst this is a foldable yoga mat for travel, there is also the option of rolling it up and attaching it to your backpack.

Despite being a thin yoga mat, the Manduka eKO SuperLite travel yoga mat offers plenty of support and just the right amount of stickiness for stability and grip. In fact, reading one Manduka travel mat review one customer reported they found it stickier than their everyday mat and so the Manduka foldable yoga mat soon became their everyday yoga practice mat. This makes it one of the highest quality yoga mats out there.

The Manduka eKO travel mat is made from biodegradable natural tree rubber and with no toxic chemicals being used in the manufacturing process.

While putting together this Maduka Yoga Mat review, I found that if your knees need something a little cushier, the eKO travel yoga mat also comes in the Manduka eKO Lite travel mat version which is 4 mm but also weighs 2 kg.

If you just want the best cheap fold-up yoga mat for your travels, then the Gaiam Foldable Yoga Mat is a great choice.

This Gaiam travel yoga mat has all the features you need for a functional travel yoga mat. It has a great sticky texture for stability and grip, so you will still be able to perform all your yoga poses without being concerned about slipping all over the place.

You will love how compact the Gaiam folding yoga mat is. It folds into a 25 by 30 cm square so is super easy to put in your suitcase or backpack. At 800 grams it is one of the lightest mats in this guide and yet it still has a 2 mm thickness.

Reading the Gaiam yoga mat reviews you will note many customers love this mat even with its cheap price tag. One Gaiam foldable yoga mat review even said they loved how it can easily fit in the laptop section of their backpack and plenty of reviews mentioned the perfect level of stickiness for stability when they performed their yoga poses.

For the price, you really can’t go wrong with the Gaiam travel mat, it really is one of the best affordable yoga mats available. It also comes in a range of colors, so you can choose one to suit your individual style.

If being lightweight is a priority for you, then you will love the Ewedoos eco-friendly yoga mat. At only 800 grams, this is one of the lightest yoga mats in this guide.

Despite being one of the lightest travel yoga mats, at 6 mm the Ewedoos eco-friendly travel mat is also the thickest, so provides plenty of cushion for your knees and hands during your practice. This mat rolls nice and tightly so you can easily store it in your backpack or suitcase.

While putting together my Ewedoos eco-friendly yoga mat review, I found that the Ewedoos eco-friendly travel yoga mat has a two-sided texture surface and non-slip properties to ensure standability during your poses. It is also eco-friendly and made from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), a substance that makes it anti-microbial and easy to clean.

If you want a lightweight mat yet don’t want to compromise on mat thickness, the Ewedoos Eco-Friendly Yoga Mat is a natural choice and one of the top yoga mats in this guide. It even comes with alignment lines to help you focus and master your craft!

The Liforme Travel yoga mat might be the most expensive in this guide, but customers are absolutely raving about the quality, making this one of the highest-rated travel mats in this guide.

Whilst this is a lightweight yoga mat, the Liforme mat is not the most compact when it comes to yoga travel mats, however, it does roll up nice and compactly. It also comes in its own hand-carry bag.

The Liforme travel mat has the perfect amount of stickiness for stability. A great additional feature is the “AlignForMe System” which is etched laser markings on the mat. These markings work as a navigational tool to ensure your hands and feet are always in the correct place during your poses. This is regularly mentioned in any Liforme travel mat review as helping people improve their practice.

For the environmentally conscious, you will be pleased to know Liforme manufacturers with a no-waste process and they only use a biodegradable natural rubber with no PVC.

While putting together this Liforme yoga mat review, I found that it is not as compact as other yoga mats in this guide so probably not ideal for those of you who like to travel light. But for those that want a top-quality durable mat for their daily yoga practice during their travels, you will love this mat.

Want a hot yoga mat with over 1200 5-star reviews? Then the AURORAE Synergy 2-in-1 Yoga Mat is perfect for you!

The AURORAE Synergy 2-in-1 hot yoga mat is made with a non-slip microfiber towel on top to absorb sweat which ensures an excellent grip even if you are super sweaty. The wetter the mat gets, the more grip you’ll get!

Underneath the microfiber towel layer, there is a 5mm PER (Polymer Environmental Resin) yoga mat layer that really gets the job done in terms of grip. And amazingly, this yoga mat is machine-washable but just remember to hang dry it!

This is a compact and thin travel yoga mat. It folds up small and weighs in at around 1.4 kg, so it’s not going to weigh you down during your travels. It definitely isn’t the lightest yoga mat on our list, but for its ingenuity, the weight is something we are willing to forgive!

Headed to a yoga retreat in hot and tropical South East Asia or like to practice hot yoga? Then you will love the Clever Towel hot yoga mat since not only is it light and compact, but it is machine washable too!

Yet another great choice for a lightweight and compact travel yoga mat is the Lole Travel Yoga Mat. Lole makes some of the best yoga gear out there, meaning this yoga mat is a seriously strong contender.

This is a 1 mm super compact and ultra-thin travel yoga mat. Like a towel, the Lole travel mat folds up super tiny and weighs in at 1 kilo, so it’s not going to weigh you down during your travels. The Lole mat has a slip-resistant backing to avoid slipping and sliding and the perfect amount of stickiness for grip.

Made from 100% natural rubber, this mat is a great choice for travelers wishing to maintain their daily yoga practice. This mat comes in a range of colors too.

NOTE: After seeing my Lole Yoga Mat review, I was asked if this mat is the same as the Lole Explore yoga mat. I have looked into it and concluded that, yes, the two are almost exactly the same.

If you want your mat to look good whilst being functional and compact, then you will love Yoga Design Lab’s Travel Yoga Mat.

Available in over 10 different colors, designs, and patterns this will no doubt be the best-looking yoga mat at your yoga retreat (and it’ll look fantastic in those Instagram shots too). Stylish it may be, but it is also a completely functional extra thin yoga mat.

Similar to the AURORAE yoga mat, the Yoga Design Lab travel mat is designed to work better whilst you sweat. So thin is the yoga mat that you can even use it as a towel to dry yourself off after your sweaty practice. After your session, you can just throw it in the washing machine and hang it out to dry. Yoga Design Lab even promises the color won’t fade.

This is an eco-friendly mat made from natural tree rubber and microfiber from recycled bottles and water-based prints. And every $1 from a sale of these mats goes to support kids in youth yoga programs in need.

This is a great compact mat, easily foldable, or roll it up compactly and throw it in your pack. Not only is this ideal as a travel yoga mat but also perfect as a travel pilates mat or travel exercise mat.

If you prefer a compact mat with extra thickness, then the Khataland YoFoMat is worth checking out, one of the thickest mats in this guide.

Despite being a 4 mm thick mat, this is still a super compact mat folding up to the size of a large book, making it great for throwing in your backpack or even a large handbag. Weighing in at just over 1 kilo, it’s lightweight too, although it is one of the heaviest in these reviews.

The mat provides the right amount of stickiness for grip and stability. It is also slightly longer than most mats in this guide with a length of 183 cm.

If you want a compact travel mat but additional support for your knees and hands, the Khatland YoFoMat is a great choice. This mat also comes in a range of colors and has its own carry bag.
