The best-ever yoga mat

Credit: Zappos.com

To buy: $58; amazon.com

One of Health's editors is a hot yoga addict, and she declared the Gaiam Studio Select Dry-Grip Yoga Mat the best yoga mat she's ever used. The non-slip surface remains grippy throughout the sweatiest Bikram sessions, but never gets sticky. Plus, it's 5mm thick (a standard yoga mat is just 2 or 3), which means it's extra cushy.
