New to the yoga mat marketplace is Sugarmat, a Montreal-based yoga mat company that brings you beautifully-stylized yoga mats. We have tested out their Professional Mat in the striking and elegant print, and we are excited to share with you why we love this mat.
Construction
From top to bottom, Sugarmat’s Professional Mat screams quality. It is designed with eco-consciousness and sustainability in mind from it’s natural tree rubber bottom layer to the suede top. The biodegradable and recyclable natural tree rubber bottom layer is slip resistant and provides a sturdy and grounding surface for your practice. The ultra-absorbent suede top surface is designed to give you great grip when activated with water or sweat. The mat is hypoallergenic and can be tossed in the washing machine, leaving it clean and pristine for your next practice.
Despite being a substantial mat, it weighs in at just under 4 pounds and can be rolled tightly to fit into compact spaces. The mat comes with a sturdy and adjustable carrying sling that doubles as a yoga strap, making this an ideal mat for travel to and from the yoga studio in comfort.
Experience and Use
From the moment you step onto the Sugarmat Professional Mat, you know that this is a quality yoga mat. The suede top layer is velvety soft and feels luxurious to the touch. All the magic begins after a spritz of water where you place your hands and feet. The water pills on the surface of your mat, just like drops of water on a feather. The spray of water transforms the satiny soft mat into a ultra-grippy powerhouse with excellent traction that gets grippier the more you sweat. You won’t slip, skid or slide on this mat.
This mat is like having a traditional yoga mat and yoga towel all in one lightweight package. Even during intense workouts, including hot yoga, the mat will absorb sweat and moisture which in turn helps to increase traction, so you can confidently keep your footing. Best of all, while you can clean your mat by hand with a mat cleaner, you can also pop it directly into your washing machine, simply lay it out flat to dry, and voila! Your mat is clean, sanitized and ready for your practice.
Style
While style may not be the most important factor in a yoga mat, it is the aesthetic design of a mat that provides you with inspiration and motivation to return to your mat day after day. One glance at the Leaf print or the dozens of other colors and patterns available in Sugarmat’s Professional Mat, and you know that these mats have oodles of style. The Leaf print is aesthetically classy and unique with its eye-catching design reminiscent of beautifully interwoven leaves. The white background is rich and vibrant, while the leaf design stands out vividly in the forefront.

Gorgeous mat. It’s light and grippy when sprayed down. A little small, but that is to be expected of a travel mat. I also machine washed it (hang dry), and it still looks and feels great. The only negative thing I can say is that if you are a ‘dragger’ i.e. drag the top of your feet along the mat when zombie pressing or pushing back from updog to downdog before flip-toes, the mat can get a bit rough due to the suede top. Still, I wouldn’t trade the feel since its amazingly grippy for the hands.

Not my fav. You have to wet it or your hands to not slip and slide. I practice slow flow, blend, ashtanga, but mainly Vinyasa. It is good when you are wet and sweaty. But before that…kinda a challenge not to slip

I ordered for the first time some yoga mats from this site. I practice yoga for some years and I have used several types of yoga mats. They came really fast, in a great package, super protected, in great condition. The mats were really beautiful, more than I expected, and of great quality. The most important, when my order arrived in my country, a problem came up. Sugarmat immediately answered in my call for help, solved the problem, although it was not their fault, and helped me get my mats. I strongly recommend this site if you want really beautiful, non slippery mats, of great quality.

This mat is beautiful and lightweight – perfect for a city dweller like me. I have the sweatiest hands and I did not slip during any of my yoga classes – flow, hot yoga, etc. HOWEVER, this mat is NOT machine washable like the company says. I followed the washing instructions EXACTLY (delicates cycle and air dry) but now my expensive mat is ruined forever. The suede material is separating from the rubber base and the mat will not lay flat anymore. This mat is NOT MACHINE WASHABLE like they said. Buyers beware – spot clean only.

I love this yoga mat! It is gorgeous, the packaging is so pretty, and the suede like graphic fabric is soft, but doesn’t let you slip around, you can put your face on it without it sticking. The Sugarmat logo on the mat is metallic, the whole mat looks so high quality! Definitely a yoga mat to make you want to work out.
