Best yoga mat for Travel
For travel the pick is the Manduka PRO Travel at $70.65 as of Aug 10, 2026 — 2.4 lb and 2 mm. The JadeYoga Voyager scores higher on these criteria but has no buyable listing today, so it is not the pick. Below it, 9 more mats are ranked on the same criteria, and the numbers behind the order are in the table.
One caveat: at 2 mm it is the thinnest mat here you can buy today, so there is less between your knee and the floor than anything else on this list.

How we work this out
We rank on weight (50%), thickness (30%), grip when dry (20%). Every figure comes from the maker's own spec sheet or the Amazon API, and the order is recomputed on each build — nobody pays to sit at the top.
The question behind this shortlist: Which mat folds into a carry-on and still holds grip?
Questions people ask
What is the cheapest option here that still fits?
The Gaiam Premium 6mm at $21.00. It ranks lower than the pick in our order, so you are trading some of the criteria above for the lower price — the table shows exactly which.
Do these prices update?
Yes, daily from the Amazon API, and each one is stamped with the date it was read. Where a mat has no live listing we show no price at all rather than an old one.
