B Mat
brandAustralian-born premium yoga mat brand known for faux-suede natural rubber mats with exceptional wet grip
B Mat (also marketed as B Yoga) is an Australian-born yoga mat brand that has developed a dedicated following among hot yoga and vigorous vinyasa practitioners for its natural rubber mats with a distinctive faux-suede surface.
The B Mat Construction
B Mat's core product uses a natural rubber base topped with a faux-suede surface — the same construction approach used by several premium brands. What distinguishes B Mat is the density and specific formulation of their rubber:
- Very dense rubber: B Mat rubber is notably denser and heavier than many competitors
- Faux suede top: Activates with sweat for excellent wet grip
- Thickness options: 4mm (Everyday), 6mm (Strong), 2mm (Travel)
The B Mat Community
B Mat has developed a devoted following, particularly among Bikram, hot yoga, and sweaty vinyasa practitioners who need reliable grip in extreme conditions. The brand's word-of-mouth reputation in these communities is strong.
