How to choose the best mat for you! There are tons of options when picking out a yoga/workout mat, especially nowadays! From different materials, sizes and thicknesses - the options are endless. Iβve personally tried 3 different types of mats & Iβm going to share the pros & cons of each. π§πΌββοΈ PVC / TPE (Plastic) - Pro: Affordable & easy to find - Con: Can become slippery, not environmentally friendly π§πΌββοΈ Cotton - Pro: Washable, environmentally friendly - Con: Textured material, slippery on wood π§πΌββοΈ Cork - Pro: Natural, antibacterial properties, good grip - Con: Porous (can absorb sweat) What Iβm interested in trying next: A natural tree rubber mat! Online reviews say they have good grip, donβt contain toxins, are biodegradable & durable.
