Do you need a Mat under a Pilates Reformer?

You do not necessarily need a mat under a Pilates Reformer, as the Reformer itself provides a padded surface for your workout. However, some people choose to use a mat for additional cushioning or to protect the Reformer from sweat or dirt.

If you do choose to use a mat, it's important to choose one that is the correct size for your Reformer. A mat that is too small may shift around during your workout, while a mat that is too large may get caught in the moving parts of the Reformer. It's also important to choose a mat that is non-slip to prevent accidents or injuries during your workout.
