1. Choose TPE as the material of the yoga mat. There are three main materials for the yoga mat: NBR, PVC, and TPE. nbr material, low price, but the anti-skid and rebound is relatively poor, suitable for some simple asanas and supine-ups and other exercises, not suitable for yoga professional practice; PVC material, anti-skid and rebound are in the upper class, but not easy Decomposition will cause environmental pollution; TPE material is natural rubber, environmentally friendly and skin-friendly, and the anti-slip and resilience are the best.

 

 

2. The thickness standard is 6mm, and the thickness of yoga mats are mainly 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm. Among them, 6mm is the standard thickness, which is more suitable for beginners. If you have a certain foundation, you can choose the thickness of 4-5mm.

3. Test the non-slip resistance. The mat is flat, press the mat with the palm of your hand and push it forward. If the mat slides on the ground or your hand slides on the mat, it means that the mat is not very slip resistant, and it is easy to do exercises on it. It is best not to choose if you slip or fall. Gently push the surface of the mat with the palm of your hand to give it a dry feeling.

4. Test resilience. Fingers on the yoga sheet can be easily pressed down to 2/3 of the thickness. After releasing the fingers, they can rebound within 3-5 seconds without leaving any fingerprints, which is the best. You can refer to this standard to test when purchasing.

5. Test the abrasion resistance. Bring an eraser with you before buying. Use it to wipe the yoga mat to see if the mat is easy to break. The ones that are not easy to break will be more wear-resistant and durable.
