For those prioritizing sustainability and durability, brands like Manduka offer blankets made from 100% recycled fibers . These are designed to be "moldable," making them perfect for folding into supports for restorative poses. Similarly, Yogikuti specializes in premium cotton blankets often used in the Iyengar tradition , known for their density and high-quality weave.
Cotton is the most popular because it’s breathable and easy to wash. Wool provides more warmth and structure.
Look for a size roughly 190cm x 130cm (approx. 75" x 50") to ensure it can fully cover you during rest.
Authentic Mexican blankets are a staple in studios because they are thick, durable, and come in vibrant "Serape" designs.
