Can you bring yoga mats on a plane?
TSA's official answer, checked against tsa.gov on 2026-09-05.
Carry-on bag yes
Yoga mats are allowed in carry-on bags, and TSA attaches no size rule to them.
Checked bag yes
Allowed in checked bags.
TSA has no rule about the size of a mat. The only real question is your airline's — a rolled mat strapped to a backpack may be counted as a second carry-on item.
Liquids, gels and aerosols in carry-on follow the TSA 3-1-1 rule. The final decision always rests with the TSA officer at the checkpoint.
