THE MAT MANUAL
Wondering which mat is right for you? We put together some basic tips to simplify the shopping process and help ensure that you love what you get.
Finding Your Size
We offer four basic mat sizes: Micro, Micro+, Mini, Mini+, Midi, Midi+ and Maxi.

Because our mats are all-purpose, it can be tough to specify exactly what each size is used for. We asked our customers to tell us some of the ways they use each size, and their responses blew us away!
