What is in the sale

The whole prayer mat range is in the sale. Bundles are not part of the 25% off. Our Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer also stays on for most padded mats. Here is what each part of it is for, so you can go straight to the right collection.

Adult padded prayer mats

Our everyday mats. Most are 120 x 64 cm with 1.7 cm of foam padding, a soft velvet-feel fabric on top and a backing underneath. They come in a wide spread of designs, from plain arches to Madinah and Makkah scenes and floral borders. A few designs differ: the soft floral mats, for example, are 115 x 67 cm with 1.3 cm padding. Each product page gives the exact size. See all adult prayer mats.

Luxury arch range (130 x 73 cm)

Sage, Rose, Sand and Coal. These are our longest and widest mats at 130 x 73 cm, with 1.7 cm padding and a white cotton back. The designs are plain and calm, with a simple arch. They suit taller people, anyone who likes more room in Sujood, and anyone who wants a mat that looks good in a modern room. See the luxury padded range.

Premium padded range

Richer, more detailed designs such as Moroccan Mosaic, Dome of the Rock and Masjid al-Haram. They are 120 x 64 cm with 1.7 cm padding and a non-slip backing, which helps on wooden or tiled floors. See the premium padded range.

Kids mats (ages 8 to 12)

Junior mats are 60 x 100 cm with 1.3 cm padding and a non-slip backing. They are sized for a child, so they fit next to a parent's mat without taking over the room. See the junior padded mats.

Toddler mats (ages 1 to 4)

Toddler mats are 85 x 47 cm with 1.3 cm padding, a non-slip backing and a bright pom-pom trim. A mat of their own helps little ones join in, such as the Midnight in Mecca toddler mat, with the Ka'bah under a night sky. See the toddler mats.

Siraj backrest prayer mat

A mat in three sections. Laid flat, it is about 107 x 58 cm for prayer. Raise the backrest and you can sit back comfortably for Qur'an, dhikr or quiet reflection after Salah. It folds into a case of about 58 x 38 x 6 cm with a carry handle and straps.

Pocket mats

Thin, light travel mats that fold into a pouch for a bag, car or desk drawer. They are not padded; they are made for prayer away from home. The Makkah pocket mat opens to about 68 x 113 cm and packs into a pouch of about 15 x 18 cm. See the pocket prayer mats.

How to choose the right mat

A sale is a good time to buy, but only if you buy the right thing. Four questions sort it out.

1. How tall is the person, and how much room do they like?

A standard adult mat at 120 x 64 cm suits most people. If someone is tall, or likes their hands and forehead well inside the mat in Sujood, choose the luxury arch range at 130 x 73 cm. It is our biggest.

2. How much padding do they need?

For most adults, 1.7 cm of padding is the comfortable everyday choice. It takes the pressure off knees and feet on a hard floor. If someone has sore knees or prays for long periods, padding matters more than design. If they sit for long after Salah, look at the Siraj backrest mat.

3. Who is it for?

  • An adult at home: a padded adult mat, luxury arch or premium.
  • A child aged 8 to 12: a junior mat, 60 x 100 cm.
  • A little one aged 1 to 4: a toddler mat, 85 x 47 cm.
  • Someone who travels or prays at work: a pocket mat.
  • A parent or grandparent who likes to sit after the prayer: the Siraj backrest mat.

4. Where will it be used?

On wooden floors or tiles, a non-slip backing helps the mat stay put; the premium, kids and toddler mats all have one. On carpet, any of our mats will sit well. For a modern, plain room, the luxury arch colours are the easiest to place. For a traditional look, try the premium range.

Buying gifts for the end of the year

Many people use the sale to buy gifts for the end of the year, or to get ahead for Ramadan, which is expected to begin around 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting. A prayer mat makes a good gift because it is used every day. A few pointers:

  • Choose an upgrade. Most people already own a prayer mat. A padded mat, or a design they would not buy for themselves, is the one that feels like a gift.
  • Match the mat to the person. A calm, plain arch for someone new to Salah. The Siraj backrest mat for a parent who sits after the prayer. Their own size for a child.
  • Think in pairs or sets. A matching pair suits a couple setting up a home. An adult mat with a junior or toddler mat beside it suits a family.
  • Roll it, do not fold it. Rolling a padded mat and tying it with a wide ribbon looks good and keeps the foam smooth.

Our prayer mat gift guide goes through it person by person.

Before you buy

  • Check the size on the product page. Every page gives the measurements. If the mat is for a particular corner, measure it first.
  • Look at today's price. During the sale, the 25% is already taken off the price on each product page.
  • Know the returns rules. They are the same as usual and are set out below and on our refund policy page.
  • Do not leave gifts to the last day. Popular designs can sell out during a sale.

Once the mat arrives, our guide to building a Salah routine at home has ideas for making the most of it.
