JadeYoga Harmony Mat enters Wirecutter Hall of Fame

JadeYoga’s Harmony Mat has been inducted into Wirecutter’s inaugural Hall of Fame, after earning the New York Times product site’s yoga mat recommendation since 2015 and its top spot since 2024. The recognition underscores the mat’s long-running grip, cushioning and durability in a crowded fitness category.

Why it matters: - Wirecutter’s Hall of Fame is reserved for products that keep earning recommendations after repeated testing against new competitors. - The honor gives JadeYoga a high-profile endorsement for its flagship mat in a category where performance and durability matter to daily practice. - The Harmony Mat is one of Wirecutter’s longest-running fitness recommendations.

What happened: - JadeYoga said on October 20, 2026, that its Harmony Mat was inducted into Wirecutter’s inaugural Hall of Fame. - The New York Times’ Wirecutter has recommended the Harmony Mat since 2015. - Wirecutter named the Harmony Mat its top yoga mat in 2024. - JadeYoga is based in the Philadelphia area and makes the Harmony Mat in the United States.

The details: - Wirecutter’s editors test products hands-on and revisit picks as new options enter the market. - Katie Okamoto, Wirecutter’s Sustainability Editor, called the Harmony Mat “the grippiest (and prettiest-hued) mat we’ve tested” and said it offers supportive ground that is “neither sticky nor squishy.” - Okamoto said long-term testers report getting five or more years out of the mat. - Dean Jerrehian, JadeYoga’s founder, said the company has made the Harmony Mat the same way for more than 20 years because it works. - Jerrehian said yoga teachers and students tell JadeYoga the mat helps them focus on practice rather than the mat itself. - The mat uses open-cell natural rubber, which JadeYoga says provides firm grip in standing poses and transitions. - The mat is 3/16 inch thick, balancing cushioning for knees and joints with stability for balancing poses. - JadeYoga says the Harmony Mat contains no PVC, EVA or synthetic rubber. - JadeYoga says every Harmony Mat is manufactured in the United States in compliance with U.S. environmental, labor and consumer protection laws. - JadeYoga plants a tree through Trees for the Future for every mat sold, and says more than 2.5 million trees have been planted to date. - Select colors support ovarian cancer, breast cancer and autism causes. - The Harmony Mat is sold at jadeyoga.com and through yoga studios and retailers nationwide. - The mat comes in 24-inch widths with 68-inch and 74-inch lengths, plus a 28-by-80-inch extra-wide, extra-long version. - Prices are $99.95 for the 68-inch version, $109.95 for the 74-inch version and $149.95 for the 28-by-80-inch version. - The mat is available in more than 10 colors.

Between the lines: - Wirecutter’s repeat endorsement suggests the Harmony Mat has stayed competitive even as the yoga mat market has added new options. - The Hall of Fame nod also reinforces JadeYoga’s positioning around U.S.-made materials and sustainability, not just performance. - The combination of strong grip, moderate cushioning and long lifespan appears to be the product’s main advantage.

What’s next: - JadeYoga will continue selling the Harmony Mat through its website and retail partners. - The company is likely to lean on the Hall of Fame recognition as a proof point for future shoppers and studios. - The mat’s sustainability pledge remains part of the brand story, including tree planting tied to each sale.
