Your “Pilates Bound At Home” kit begins with a solid Pilates mat. 
Let’s get started with the basics. 
Think of your mat as an apparatus, and you deserve a good one!   You want a Pilates mat that’s large, dense, and has a slicker finish than a yoga mat.  This will be more comfortable for spinal rolling exercises, as well as times when you’re on your stomach.  A thickness of 10mm is ideal.  In addition, add a yoga mat for some stickiness so you’re not traveling across the floor in rolling like a ball, open leg rocker, or other exercises! Though this could be fun!
10mm Pilates mat
High-density foam mat to absorb impact, and provide your body alignment and support for an awesome workout.
Yoga mat
Good to have on a floor placed under your Pilates mat, so you don’t travel while rocking-n-rolling through Pilates exercises. 
Do you want to know the Pilates mat I’m using?  It’s the Balanced Body Contrology folding mat.  FYI – the link provided is an affiliate link from my Pilates teacher/mentor that gives you a 5% discount.  This Pilates mat is an investment, you’ll see how it’s an apparatus, and it’s worth it IMO!  It has changed my practice.
