Like so many, Millie Blumka and Taylor Borenstein began working out at home during the pandemic—and quickly found the yoga mats they had on hand weren’t versatile enough for other forms of exercise. So they created the Stakt Mat, which is twice as thick as the average yoga mat, at 12 mm when flat. The 3-lb., double-sided EVA-foam mat is foldable along five panels. Fold it all the way up to make a yoga block or raised surface for incline exercises and lunges; flip a panel or two down for extra elbow cushioning during planks.
