Pros
- Four Decades on the Mat: Hugger Mugger has been making yoga gear in Salt Lake City since 1986, and its Standard Yoga Bolster holds 4.8 stars across 159 reviews.
- Origin on Every Page: Bolsters, meditation cushions and sandbags are made in the USA, while the Para Rubber mat is made in Taiwan and the Tapas Mat in Germany — each listing says so.
- Grip for Every Practice: The Para Rubber mat is 5mm natural rubber at 6.6 lb, the Nature Collection Ultra a 1/4-inch PER mat at 3.5 lb, and the Tapas Mat 4mm at just 2.1 lb.
Cons
- Mats can come back within 30 days only if unused and in original packaging, with return postage on you, so compare thickness and weight on each product page before you order.
- Sale, clearance and discontinued items are final and card refunds are limited to 90 days after purchase, so choose full-price core pieces when you'd like room to change your mind.
The Verdict
What sets Hugger Mugger apart is nearly four decades of making yoga props, with a straight answer on where each piece is made: Hugger-Mugger Company, Inc. was founded in Salt Lake City in 1986 by Sara Chambers and is now part of Yoga Design Lab. Its range covers mats, bolsters, meditation cushions, blocks, straps, sandbags and accessories, and each product page states its origin: the Standard, Round and Microfiber bolsters, the V-Shaped and Sukasana cushions and the 10 lb sandbag are made in the USA, the Para Rubber and Nature Collection mats in Taiwan, and the Tapas Mat in Germany. The Para Rubber mat is 5mm of natural rubber at 70 by 24 inches and 6.6 lb; the Nature Collection Ultra is a 1/4-inch PER mat at 3.5 lb; the Tapas Mat is 4mm at 2.1 lb. The Standard Yoga Bolster holds 4.8 stars across 159 reviews on the brand's store. Prices are fair for the quality. The Tapas Travel mat is $30, the 4-inch foam block $25, the cork block $30, the 10-foot quick-release cotton strap $24, the Nature Collection Ultra $64, the Tapas Mat $67, the Earth Elements mat $83, the Para Rubber $128 and the Para Rubber XL $171, with the Standard Yoga Bolster from $114 and clearance pieces such as the Sattva Jute mat at $48.30. Orders process in one to two business days and arrive in three to seven by standard delivery or two to three expedited. The reservations are modest. Returns are accepted within 30 days of shipment for unused items in original packaging, with original and return shipping non-refundable; sale, clearance and discontinued items are final, and card refunds are available only within 90 days of purchase. There's no universal lifetime warranty, with defects handled case by case, and bolster covers aren't sold separately. Wirecutter found the Para Rubber XL extremely grippy but heavy at 10 lb and strong-smelling when new. Made for home yogis who want props with a clear origin: bolsters and cushions made in the USA, mats labelled Taiwan or Germany, each with its weight and thickness listed. Choose your mat by weight and thickness, air a rubber mat before first use, and shop now.
Yoga Mats, Bolsters, Blocks and Straps
Hugger-Mugger Company, Inc. is based at 1190 S. Pioneer Road, Salt Lake City, Utah, and was founded in 1986 by Sara Chambers; a March 2026 release names Yoga Design Lab as its parent company. It sells yoga mats, bolsters, meditation cushions, blocks, straps, sandbags and accessories, and its terms are governed by Utah law with individual arbitration. The range combines USA-made props with mats made in Taiwan and Germany, each labelled with its origin on the product page.
Current prices include the Tapas Travel Yoga Mat at $30, the 4-inch Foam Yoga Block at $25, the Cork Yoga Block at $30, the Quick-Release 10-foot Cotton Yoga Strap at $24, the Nature Collection Ultra at $64, the Tapas Mat at $67, the Earth Elements mat at $83, the Para Rubber Yoga Mat at $128, the Para Rubber XL at $171 and the Standard Yoga Bolster from $114 to $128; the Sattva Jute mat is on clearance at $48.30 (was $69).

The Standard Yoga Bolster is 11 by 25 by 6 inches with a cotton cover and foam and cotton-batting core, made in the USA. Orders process in one to two business days, with standard delivery in three to seven and expedited in two to three.
Unused items can be returned within 30 days of shipment in original packaging with proof of purchase; original and return shipping are non-refundable, sale, clearance and discontinued items are final, and card refunds are available within 90 days of purchase, with store credit after that. Hugger Mugger doesn't offer a universal lifetime warranty and handles defects case by case. Independently, Wirecutter tested the Para Rubber XL and found it extremely grippy but heavy and strong-smelling, and the brand's store shows 4.8 across 159 reviews for the Standard Yoga Bolster. For anyone setting up a home practice who wants to know where each prop is made, check the weight and thickness on each listing and shop now.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this Hugger Mugger review sponsored?
No. Hugger Mugger did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Hugger Mugger assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Home & Garden?
Everything in Home & Garden sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
