The Stakt Mat

As a busy working professional, finding space and time for wellness can be a real challenge, but the stakt yoga mat has made it so much easier for me. I keep it in my home office, and because it folds flat instead of rolling up, it tucks neatly away without an awkward cylinder taking up space in the corner. I also love that, unlike a rolled mat where the part that touched the floor ends up pressed against the surface I use, this foldable design completely eliminates that problem!! I’ll admit, the price point is higher than most yoga mats I have bought before. But the folding design has been worth it, especially in a tighter space. I also love that I can fold one section to create extra height and cushion for leg and knee stretches. The fold lines are not noticeable when lying on my back. At the end of a long day, I just unfold it right next to my desk and give myself a quick 10-minute stretch break before transitioning back to normal life. It has become a small but meaningful ritual that helps me physically and mentally sign off from work. When I lose control of the day and need a quick reset, I unfold the mat to lay, breathe, or take a nap - multi-use for the win! The carrying bag (opted for the on sale Prince collab cream color but the regular stakt carrying bag is black) makes it easy to tuck away. A 0/5 stars for the cinching hardware that closes the top and the side mesh bottle pocket. A zipper closure or sturdier plastic cinching closures would be much more functional. Additionally, if you have a petite frame, the bag does not sit quite right (proportionally speaking since the mat's length is nearly half my height), which makes it a little hard to carry as intended. If stakt ever releases a version that allows the mat to be carried horizontally, I would ditch this carrying bag. That said, since I keep my stakt mat at home, it has not been an issue. The upgrade to the stakt mat has made movement at the end of the day feel much more accessible!!

Ordering a mat through stakt was pretty easy, and delivery was incredibly quick. I purchased the base model in a light blue color, and it looks great. This is definitely an upgrade from my $10 mat that I had to keep replacing earlier. I like how it folds, but I wish the product came with a band or belt to keep it in place.

I absolutely love my stacked math. It’s really easy to store and it’s way more cushioning than a yoga mat or other maths I’ve had at my house. I really like that. It’s also easy to clean and it comes with those bands that hold it together. it is a little bit more delicate like it can but overall, I think it’s a really cool invention and I’m a fan.

So far, I really like my Stakt mat. It is easy to fold and transport, as advertised. It's also very lightweight. I have been using it for hot yoga and pilates, so I use a towel on top and the towel sticks on it easily. The divets in the folds of the mat are a bit annoying compared to regular mats, but I've found that they create places where you can find stability.

The material feels sturdy but comfortable — grippy enough for sweaty vinyasa flows, yet soft enough for pilates or stretching. And unlike my old rolled mats, this one stores flat and fits neatly under my couch or in the trunk of my car without unraveling like it’s trying to escape. Since getting it, I’ve used it for everything: yoga, core workouts, even as a mini bench for mobility drills. It’s basically my little transformer in mat form.
