EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)
EVA mats are lightweight and highly flexible, providing excellent shock absorption. They are non-toxic and safe for all users. On the downside, EVA mats are not as durable and can deform under high temperatures.
NR (Natural Rubber)
Natural rubber mats offer superior grip and are environmentally friendly. They are highly durable, making them suitable for intense yoga practices. However, these mats are heavier and more expensive. Additionally, some users may experience allergies to natural rubber.
NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)
NBR mats have high resistance to oil and chemicals, making them very durable and flexible. Despite their advantages, they have a higher environmental impact and offer less grip compared to other materials.
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)
TPE mats are lightweight, highly flexible, and recyclable, making them an eco-friendly choice. They are also non-toxic and safe. However, TPE mats tend to be more expensive, and their durability may vary.
