Exercise Mats: Comfortable, Supportive Training on Any Floor

Whether you are flowing through a yoga session, doing core work or stretching after a run, the surface beneath you makes a real difference. A good exercise mat cushions your knees, spine and elbows, keeps you steady during each movement and protects your floor, turning any corner of your home into a comfortable workout space.

Gymsportz offers a range of exercise mats in Singapore, from slim TPE and PVC yoga mats to 10mm, 14mm and 15mm cushioned workout mats, foldable vinyl gym mats and protective mats for cardio machines. The collection includes options from Reebok and PTP alongside our own Gymsportz range, so you can find the right mat for yoga, pilates, home workouts and group classes.

How Is It Done?

Choosing an exercise mat comes down to how you train. Thinner mats of around 6mm give a firm, stable base for yoga and balance poses, where you need to feel the floor beneath your hands and feet. Thicker 10mm to 15mm mats add more cushioning for sit-ups, pilates, stretching and floor exercises, making them gentler on the knees and back.

Material matters too. TPE mats are light and latex-free, PVC mats are durable and easy to clean, EVA and NBR foam mats offer soft, springy support, and foldable vinyl mats are ideal for tumbling, kids' activities and group spaces. If you are placing a treadmill or elliptical at home, a protective mat helps shield your floor and reduce vibration.

Frequently asked questions

What thickness of exercise mat should I choose?

For yoga and balance work, a mat of around 6mm offers a stable, grounded feel. For sit ups, pilates and general floor exercises, a thicker 10mm to 15mm mat provides more cushioning for your knees and back.

What is the difference between a yoga mat and an exercise mat?

Yoga mats are usually thinner and grippier to keep you stable during poses. Exercise mats tend to be thicker and softer, giving extra comfort for floor workouts, stretching and core training.

Which exercise mat material is best?

It depends on your needs. TPE is light and latex-free, PVC is durable and easy to clean, NBR and EVA foam offer soft cushioning, and vinyl-covered foldable mats suit tumbling and group activities.

Can I use an exercise mat under my treadmill?

For treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes, a dedicated protective mat is the better choice. It is made from dense material designed to support the machine's weight, protect your floor and reduce vibration.

How do I clean and care for my exercise mat?

Wipe your mat down after each session with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry fully before rolling it up. Store it away from direct sunlight to help it last longer.
