My new favourite Yoga mat: beautiful, grippy, and comfortable!

I’ve tried a lot of yoga mats over the years, but this one has quickly become a new favourite. Not only is it absolutely beautiful to look at, but it’s also so practical. The grip is amazing—even in those sweaty flows, I feel completely secure. It’s also incredibly comfortable, with just the right amount of cushioning to support my joints without feeling too soft. It’s clear a lot of thought went into the design, combining both functionality and aesthetics. I can’t wait to use this mat for all my practices—it’s such a game changer!

A Corking Mat for Yoga!

Smart and safe! All that’s required plus the length which keeps me on the mat rather than the floor!

Birthday surprise

I bought for my wife. She needed a new one and looking around this one was a little dearer than some, but she loves it. It’s comfortable, grips well, it’s environmentally friendly and it looks classier than most. Thank you.

Great - but be careful with body oils and using after moisturising as the material will absorb and get a little stained

Sustainable Cork

Cork is a natural raw material which is 100% biodegradable, recyclable and renewable. Our cork bark is sustainably harvested in Portugal from the Cork Oak Tree without harming or cutting down any trees – that regularly grow to the wise old age of 300 years.

Ultimate Grip

Cork contains a magical waxy compound called Suberin - which activates when wet - giving you powerful resistance and grip. The more you sweat - the more you grip. Cork offers a beautiful soft-touch, non-sticky grip.

Perfect Balance

We’ve combined the recycled tree bark of Portuguese cork trees with the natural sap of the rubber tree to create the perfect combination of grip and bounce. Our mats are buttery soft to touch yet firm enough to protect your joints & keep you focused. Cork is filled with millions of pockets of air, which bounce right back when compressed.

Natural Tree Rubber

The base of our mats is made from natural rubber – Sourced in Vietnam from the tree sap of the Hevea Brasiliensis tree a 100% renewable resource that is hand tapped from living rubber trees.

A weighty rubber layer prevents corner rolling, sliding and offers protective & firm cushioning for your joints, no matter how demanding your yoga practice gets.

100 Day Yogi Trial

We want you to be completely in love with your new cork yoga mat. If you feel good, we feel good.

Here’s the deal – Use your mat for 100 days straight! If it’s not the best yoga mat you’ve ever used (or for any other reason whatsoever) just send it back and we’ll refund you in full the day we receive it. No questions asked. Sounds fair?

Seriously – There’s ZERO risk on your part. If you don’t like it (pretty rare) we take the loss for you.

“I got through a full practice on the Cork Space yoga mat with no slips and no slides. I felt rooted in my standing sequence and supported in my seated sequence. It was beautiful, both the practice and the yoga mat.”

FAQ

How Flexible is Cork

The cork layer is made from tiny bits of compressed cork pieces bonded to a rubber base, this makes the mat super flexible across uneven ground and easy to roll up.

Why Choose Cork Space over Cheaper Alternatives?

Although at first glance they may appear similar, cheaper cork mats that use TPE or PER as they base are not as durable or sustainable. Poorer quality cork can also be more prone to chipping off. Many wonder why they didn’t invest in a better mat (that makes them smile every time) years ago.

Is Cork Sustainable?

Cork is a sustainable material because it can be harvested every 10 to 12 years and replaced with new bark. It also has a low carbon footprint, as the trees are not cut down in order to harvest the cork.

Demand for cork provides much needed investment in the industry, providing jobs and supporting the local economy. The harvesting of cork is a sustainable practice. While cork bark is regrowing, the trees suck up even more CO2 from the surrounding environment which helps combat global warming.

Suitable For Hot Yoga?

Yes – absolutely. It can handle any amount of sweat you can throw at it. Just lay it out flat to dry when you’re home. When wet the cork goes darker.

How Long Is Delivery?

Free tracked courier delivery included with every order (1-3 Working Days). We aim to ship all orders out in one working day. Orders placed before 11am weekdays are typically shipped same day

What Is Your Gurarantee?

Love it or return it within 100 days for a full refund.

What Styles Of Yoga Is Cork Space Suited To?

It can be used with any style of yoga. Practitioners of restorative, meditation or yin yoga styles particularly love its natural feel. While faster Vinyasa styles of yogis love the sweat grip cork provides and the padding of the natural rubber.

Can I Use This For Pilates Or Workouts?

Absolutely, Cork Space is for your daily movement practice. From pilates to home workouts – the mat is there for you.
