Product Categories Of Yoga Mats

The two most widely used yoga mats are TPE and PVC yoga mats. The advantages of these two are that they meet the national environmental protection standards and can be recycled without causing pollution to the environment. Among them, TPE is the most environmentally friendly to the human body and has no peculiar smell.

The most important thing to choose a yoga mat is to be soft, close to the ground, strong in the grip when laying flat, not to slide when sweating, and it is best to be easy to carry. The second is to have better waterproof and non-slip performance.

Here is a detailed introduction to these types of yoga mats:

The main components of TPE foamed cushions are TPE, EVA and artificial rubber. The production cost is relatively high, the production process is high, and the industry entry barrier is high. The product is of good quality, elastic enough, soft and high anti-slip effect. It does not contain plastic and is easy to decompose. It is currently a more promising product and is deeply loved by environmentalists. TPE cushions can currently be 10 mm thick.

PVC foamed cushions are more extensive, cheaper in price, diverse in colors, low in production cost, simple in process, easy to make signs according to customer requirements, and are deeply loved by the public. The disadvantage is that plastic products are not easy to decompose naturally and pollute the earth.

EVA cushions are also environmentally friendly, and there are low-cost and high-end ones. Inexpensive EVA is too soft and tastes too strong. The high-end quality is very good, but the thickness can only be 4 mm. The Middle East market prefers EVA cushions.

Latex mats usually add a layer of hay to the surface, and the cost is between PVC mats and TPE mats. It can also be regarded as an environmentally friendly product. The American market likes more.

The NBR cushion is too heavy and the cost is not low. Wear-resistant, slip-resistant, odorless, usually black.

The thickness of yoga mats are mainly 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, and 7 mm. Among them, 6mm is the standard thickness. It is more suitable for beginners. The TPE cushion can reach 10mm, which is very soft.
