Slate 6mm Non-Slip Yoga Mat — Calm Neutrals, Confident Grip, Everyday Durability
Find your focus with the Slate Mat—a modern, stone-inspired neutral that pairs studio-ready performance with easy-care practicality. Sized to the familiar 24" × 72" × 1/4" (≈6 mm) footprint, Slate is made from PER (polymer environmental resin) that’s free of phthalates and latex, and it’s finished with UV-cured digital inks so the print stays crisp class after class. You’ll feel the difference in the textured, non-slip surface, anti-tear construction, and moisture-resistant finish that wipes clean in minutes.
Why you’ll love the Slate Yoga Mat
Balanced 6 mm comfort Twice the padding of many thin travel mats, ~6 mm softens pressure on knees, wrists, and hips while preserving ground feel for balance work. Leading buying guides call this thickness a versatile “sweet spot” for all-purpose practice—comfortable yet stable for beginners and devoted yogis alike.
Grip that keeps up with your flow From Down Dog to low lunges, Slate’s subtly textured, non-slip top helps reduce sliding so you can focus on breath and alignment—not on re-centering your hands and feet.
Durable by design (and easy to clean) Daily unrolls? Sweaty studio sessions? No problem. Slate combines an anti-tear core with a moisture-resistant surface. For routine care, wipe with mild soap and water and air-dry completely before rolling.
Thoughtful, safer materials The mat’s PER build is phthalate- and latex-free (also free of heavy metals), and the artwork is UV-cured for long-wearing color—smart for shared studios and home practice alike.

How Slate supports your practice
Whether you’re building heat in vinyasa, dialing in slow mobility, or easing into restorative poses, Slate gives you a soft-yet-stable base. The 6 mm profile cushions kneeling transitions and seated holds; the textured top supports confident footing through dynamic sequences. If you practice hot, layer a full-length towel—a machine-washable sweat barrier that boosts traction and simplifies cleanup. For a quick refresher on how thickness, texture, and towels affect grip and stability, see REI’s “How to Choose a Yoga Mat.”

Care & cleaning (quick routine + deeper refresh)
After class: Wipe Slate with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap; air-dry completely before rolling so moisture doesn’t get trapped. (The product page notes its moisture-resistant surface is quick to refresh.)
Occasional deep clean: REI’s expert method: lukewarm soak + light scrub + thorough rinse, then full air-dry until the mat is completely moisture-free—especially important for thicker mats.
DIY in-between spray: Mix vinegar or witch hazel with water at a 1:4 ratio; spritz lightly, wipe, and let dry. (Handy when you’re practicing several times a week.)
Hot-class tip: A towel on top not only improves grip when you sweat—it also reduces abrasion, helping your mat look great longer.

Frequently asked questions
Is 6 mm too thick for balance work? For most people, 6 mm balances comfort and stability: it cushions joints yet still lets you feel grounded. If you crave maximum floor feel, go thinner; if your knees are sensitive, you’ll appreciate the extra padding. For selection tips (materials, textures, towel layering), see REI’s buying advice.
How should I clean Slate after a sweaty class? Use the quick wipe-down above and let the mat air-dry fully. For periodic resets, follow REI’s deep-clean steps or keep a 1:4 vinegar/witch hazel spray handy between sessions.
What is the mat made of? Slate uses PER that’s phthalate- and latex-free, printed with UV-cured inks for durable color and pattern longevity.
