Pilates involves more sustained contact with the floor, so the CLOUD Pilates Mat is designed with 12mm of cushioning to support your spine, hips, and knees through floor-based movement. 

Its extra-thick profile provides more cushioning than a traditional yoga mat, helping make rolling, kneeling, side-lying work, and other floor-based movements more comfortable. 

Pilates includes repeated movements where your spine, hips, knees, and other pressure points meet the mat. While you can practice Pilates on a traditional yoga mat, additional cushioning can provide more comfort during sustained floor contact, especially when practicing at home on hard flooring. 

At 12mm, or nearly half an inch thick, CLOUD creates substantial cushioning between you and the floor. 

Yes. Unlike some thick exercise and fitness mats that can feel soft, airy, or stretchy under movement, CLOUD pairs substantial cushioning with a dense, firm construction and a non-stretch surface. 

This helps the mat hold its shape through controlled Pilates movement, creating a stable foundation for control and alignment without sacrificing comfort. 

The CLOUD Pilates Mat is designed for floor Pilates and other floor-based movement, including core work, stretching, flexibility, and recovery. 

Its cushioned, supportive surface is especially suited for controlled movement and exercises that involve sustained contact with the floor. 

The CLOUD Pilates Mat features a closed-cell surface that makes everyday cleaning simple. Think of closed-cell versus open-cell like glass versus a sponge: a closed-cell surface keeps moisture on top, whereas an open-cell surface is porous and designed to absorb moisture. 

Because CLOUD is closed-cell, sweat and moisture stay on the surface where they can be easily wiped away after practice.
