Matwork Equipment

Matwork equipment is essential because floor exercises are a major part of Pilates, and mats make the exercises more comfortable and safe. Many people believe yoga mats and Pilates mats are interchangeable, but this isn't true. Yoga uses more standing poses than Pilates. Because of this, yoga mats are very thin. Pilates relies heavily on floor work that involves rolling or rocking the body. These maneuvers align breathing with movement, and increase blood flow. They also stimulate the spine. A thick firm mat is needed to protect the body during these Pilates floor exercises. A yoga mat is simply too thin.

It is important to buy the best matwork equipment you can afford. You would not necessarily need the same Pilates equipment at home that you'd find in a studio. But you should buy the best equipment for your situation. No matter if you're in the studio or at home, a good quality folding mat is important. The mat needs to provide enough cushioning for your hips and spine.

Your mat should be wide enough and long enough to fit your entire body. Most standard sized Pilates mats are 82 inches long and 30 inches wide. You will be doing rolling exercises on your mat, so proper room is essential. Matwork equipment isn't limited to Pilates mats. You may also want to try Pilates foam cushions. These cushions provide head and body support during floor exercises.
