Stakt earns largely positive reviews for foldable mats and modular weights that perform as promised—supportive cushioning, grippy Pro texture, easy storage, and sleek aesthetics—while critiques flag dirt-prone material, occasional slipperiness on the standard mat, limited colors/length, and awkward portability for classes. Reviews of Stakt underline strong comfort for joints and versatile configurations, but note scuffing, delicate surfaces, and weight adjustments that are slower due to screw-on pieces.

  • Produto bem executado, com proposta clara e entrega consistente. O Conjunto de Pares Perfeitos se destaca pelo design harmônico, acabamento cuidadoso e sensação de produto premium desde o primeiro contato. Os itens conversam entre si visualmente e funcionalmente, o que facilita o uso no dia a dia e elimina aquele efeito “compras desconectadas”. A experiência é positiva tanto no uso quanto na apresentação: embalagem bem pensada, estética agradável e percepção de valor elevada. Funciona bem para uso pessoal e também como opção de presente, porque comunica cuidado, intenção e sofisticação sem exagero. Ponto de evolução: ampliar variações de cores ou combinações pode atrair ainda mais perfis de consumidores. Nota estratégica: Sou criadora de conteúdo UGC e avalio produtos com foco em experiência real, estética em foto/vídeo e potencial de conversão. Esse conjunto performa bem na câmera, facilita storytelling e se encaixa perfeitamente em conteúdos de lifestyle, rotina e gift guide. Resumo direto ao ponto: produto consistente, visual forte, entrega alinhada à promessa da marca e alto potencial comercial quando bem comunicado. Sem ruído. Sem overpromise.

  • 5 stars if you are getting the Stakt mat pro! 3/5 stars if you get the regular mat which is still great. I love the grippy texture of the pro. The benefit of a folding mat is that it is ALWAYS flat vs a rolled up one. I really love this product. I really love this product and now wish they made a big one to put out for kids to play on.

  • I placed an order for the weights and pro mat bundle, the weights pleasantly surprised me, while the pro mat underwhelmed me. Since the “upgrade” to the pro model had a selling point mentioning a textured “grip”’, I expected a bit more than a light honeycomb print. I didn’t notice superior grip outside of my usual yoga mat, and would have been fine with their standard mat. Noting that the padding and foldable structure are huge features that I appreciate and reigns supreme over other exercise mats! The price point is a bit high, but I do think the standard model is worth it.

  • Overall this is a big step up from the traditional yoga mat, especially if you have knee issues. It very chic, intelligent and well made. I love the weights especially, but wish they were a magnetic coupling instead of screw - I'd like to be able to more easily change the weight during a workout. I also wish the weights came in a small drawstring bag for storage. I wish the mat had some kind of band/velcro to keep it closed in the closet - I do not want their bulky backpack to store it

  • I am obsessed with the mat already - it is so much easier to carry and store than any other yoga mat I've had before and it also feels lighter but I'm not sure if it's actually lighter or just feels that way because of how easy it is to carry. I also really like how soft and supportive it feels at the same time. AND it's so much easier to wipe than my other mats which is such a relief, too, especially when I used it on the beach. I also got the weights and while I have only used them once I like them so far - it feels easier to grip than I originally thought so that's good. I wish their products were cheaper cause then I'd gift them to every single one of my friends because they seem like a MUST for any girlie who needs a solid mat.

  • Why This Sleek, Non-Toxic Pilates Mat Deserves a Spot in Your Home Studio After years of teaching Pilates and guiding clients toward healthier lifestyles, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the tools that support mindful movement. Yet somehow, I was still working out on a synthetic yoga mat I’d owned for more than a decade—until the plasticky smell finally became too much to ignore. It wasn’t just the scent. The mat was bulky, slippery, and far too firm despite its thickness. I had to fold it over multiple times just to protect my knees—disrupting the flow of every session. That’s when I started searching for a mat that was non-toxic, minimalist, and thoughtfully designed. That search led me to Stakt—a company founded by two best friends who wanted to create something better. Female-owned and operated, Stakt combines clean materials with modern function in the most refreshing way. Despite being thinner than most mats, the Stakt delivers superior support. It’s soft and cushiony under pressure—so much so that I no longer need to double it up during kneeling exercises. It’s made from water-resistant, non-slip EVA foam and folds into a compact square for easy storage (a huge bonus for small-space living). And unlike other mats I’ve used, unrolling the Stakt came with zero odor. No off-gassing, no chemical cloud—just clean, conscious design from the start. I also gave their modular Stakt weights a try—think of them as a sleek alternative to my old one-pound Bala Bangles. Each weight can be stacked to provide 2, 4, or 6 pounds of resistance, all while maintaining a sculptural, minimalist aesthetic. They’re surprisingly ergonomic and incredibly easy to incorporate into any workout. In a saturated wellness market, it’s refreshing to find a brand that feels as good as its products. Stakt delivers on performance, sustainability, and style—and it’s built by women who clearly understand what movement lovers actually need.

  • I’ll be honest, I bought these mostly because they looked good. I wanted something I wouldn’t mind leaving out in my living room, and the design totally nailed it. clean, minimal, no weird colors or bulky shapes. As is their primary value proposition, the base weight is 2 lbs, and you can screw on extra pieces to bump it up to 4 or 6. It’s way more convenient than juggling multiple sets of dumbbells, especially in a small space. The silicone grip feels really solid, soft but not slippery, and the shape makes them easy to hold even during longer sessions or overhead movements. I plan to use them for pilates, light strength, warm-ups before running, etc. I think they’ll be versatile and easy to integrate into any routine. The screw-on pieces take a second to change, so they might not be ideal if you’re jumping between weights mid-circuit like following a youtube video routine. Overall, I’m impressed. They look great, feel high-quality, and cover most of what I need for lighter weight micro movement training and stretch work.

  • 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!!

  • I really like the versatility of this mat. It is an excellent size both folded and fully open, and provides a good amount of padding for just about any kind of mat-based exercise. The mat stays nice and flat compared to our pro mats from Manduka, which always have a tiny bit of memory when you first unroll them. The surface has a nice texture and feels non-slip when barefoot. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight this material is. It is much lighter to transport at not even 1/2 the weight of our pro mat from Manduka, but it offers significantly more cushion, as it is twice the thickness of the Manduka mat. It is great to also be able to use this as a substantial exercise step for offset exercises or exercises that require a step. If you are in the market for a premium and versatile exercise mat, I strongly recommend considering the stakt pro mat for your purchase.

  • Really excited to get a Stakt Mat and Weights! I ordered the Pro Mat and adjustable weights. I love the feel of the weights and it's so great how they are adjustable for 2-4-or-6 pounds- perfect for at home workouts. The mat is as I expected, it folds nicely, and has. bit of extra thickness/squish compared to a normal yoga mat. The shipping was quick and the package was really nice. Impressed and excited to use them for yoga & pilates!

  • I love my stakt weights so much. I have purchased several sets of weights so that I could easily adjust weight during a workout. They take up so much space and are a pain to switch out in the moment. Stakt solves that whole problem - easy to adjust in 2 lb increments, cute, and small enough for easy storage. I'm so glad I bought these!!!

  • I adore this mat. I have knee problems, and this is the best mat I've used. It folds up to provide extra padding if you need it, and to store neatly. Every other mat I've tried is either too thin to be comfortable on my knees without a blanket or something else for padding, or it is too soft so it is unstable. My one concern about this mat is the longevity. I've had no issues yet, but it feels like it will be easier to damage and degrade more quickly than other mats in this price range. However, this mat is beyond worth it to me. I would recommend the Stakt Mat Pro to anyone with joint pain.

  • How hasn't this been invented before?? This is a genius design. How many times have you been in a yoga class and trying to fold the mat sideways when your knees hurt? This mat has easy folding configurations to pad your knees or elbows or hips or whatever and also creates a small platform for things like elevating your heels for squats. I love the cushioning material. It takes up way less space than my thick workout mat and is more comfortable. The colorways are cute, I got the "rosewater" pink. I bought the classic version, but they also offer a more expensive non-slip version. So far, the grip has been just fine for me with the classic, but if you do hot yoga or sweat a lot during your workouts, it's probably worth it to get the one with extra grip. I knocked a star off for the price point. While it's very cool and comfortable, it doesn't feel like a $100 mat to me. I imagine there will be knock-offs coming soon for a third of the price. However, if you want good quality cushioning and support the women-owned brand and their creativity, get the OG.

  • 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 am an early adopter/fan of Stakt. I purchased one as soon as it came on the market- I like the thickness of it (no towel needed under the knees), and the folding capability rather than rolling is so much easier to manage. These are the products I have: 1. Original Stakt Mat- I have had this for three or so years now I think. It's held up quite well, and I bring it to a yoga class all the time. The only downsides- it's sometimes not quite long/wide enough and I slip around a bit when I am sweating, which is why I'm a fan of... 2. Stakt Mat Pro - this helps answer the problem of using this during yoga. The grippy nature of the mat is fabulous. It's the same size as the original Stakt mat, but I find that it works alright for me. 3. Stakt weights- it solves the issue of having multiple weight sets. As someone that lives in a small space, downsizing the materials I use to workout is really helpful. They work really well, are a good size so easy to grasp. I'm a fan! All in all, Stakt is creating unique gym products that are revolutionary in the market and really beautiful to boot. They come at a higher price point, but from my experience with the original Stakt mat, it seems to last/hold up quite well.

    Feedback

    I've only used a handful of times- sometimes I get confused on how to fold it, but am sure that will be clearer over time. Also, I am curious about how the firmness of the mat will stand up over time.

  • I bought this as a gift for a friend and she raves about it. It was her top item of 2024 and she uses it for all different kinds of exercises. I have a million yoga mats but her rave review sparked me to buy my own!

  • Stakt is worth the hype! I usually steer somewhat clear of Instagram/influencer hyped up brands, but Stakt really lives up to the hype. I've owned their Stakt Mat for more than 2 years and have only good things to say. Unlike traditional yoga/exercise mats it gives me enough back and knee support, without being overly bulky and being easy to transport. It's aesthetically pleasing, easy to clean and versatile. Would purchase over and over again!

  • 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.
