AmazonBasics Exercise Mats vs Manduka GRP Hot Yoga Mat

The AmazonBasics Exercise Mat 1/2-Inch Thick makes for a good, if unremarkable, Yoga Mat for people with a $18 budget.

The Manduka GRP Hot Yoga Mat, however, is merely mediocre at its $130 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $18 and $100 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
