You don't need one, but most people find a Reformer mat makes sessions more comfortable and hygienic. It cushions knees, wrists and spine during kneeling and plank work, adds grip on the carriage and protects your upholstery from sweat. The FÔLD Reformer Pilates Mat is designed to sit securely on the carriage through fast transitions and deep stretches.
A Reformer mat is cut to fit the carriage of a Reformer, so it's shorter and narrower. The FÔLD Reformer Pilates Mat measures 96 x 56cm. A yoga mat is full length for floor work: the FÔLD Yoga Mat is 183 x 68cm. Both are 4.5mm thick, giving joint-friendly cushioning without losing stability.
Yes. It's designed for the FÔLD Reformer and fits standard Reformer carriages. At 96 x 56cm it covers the carriage where your knees, hands and spine make contact, and the non-slip base keeps it in place as you move.
Yes, for mat Pilates. The FÔLD Yoga Mat works for mat Pilates, yoga, stretching and strength training, so one mat covers your whole routine. On a Reformer, use the FÔLD Reformer Pilates Mat, because a full-length yoga mat is too long for the carriage.
Most people find 4 to 5mm the best all-round thickness. It's cushioned enough for kneeling and floor work and firm enough for balance poses. Mats of 6mm and above feel softer but can be less stable. Both FÔLD mats are 4.5mm thick.
Yes. The PU top layer has a fine porous texture that grips from your first downward dog, through slow flows and sweatier sessions. Underneath, a natural rubber base keeps the mat firmly grounded on the floor.
It has a PU (polyurethane) top surface for grip and a natural rubber base for stability and impact absorption. Because it contains natural rubber, it may not be suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.
Spray lightly with water and wipe down with a soft cloth after each session. If you use a cleaning solution, apply it to the cloth rather than straight onto the mat. Let the mat air dry fully before rolling it, and keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the surface.
Yes. Both mats are ideal for the mat-based classes on the FÔLD app, so you can mix Reformer sessions with mat Pilates, yoga and stretching at home.
The FÔLD Reformer Pilates Mat comes in Caramel, Pistachio, Pink and Navy, plus Black in the Essentials range. The FÔLD Yoga Mat comes in Pistachio, Pink, Caramel, Navy and Black, so you can match your Reformer or your space.
