When buying a yoga mat be sure to get the best quality.
A good mat will enhance your practice, a cheap mat will degrade it.
Important questions to ask when buying a yoga mat are:
Will it hold up to repeated washings?
Will it lay flat on the floor and not stick to my feet?
Will lint and dust shake off easily?
Does it prevent my feet from slipping?
Will it still have the same grip when I sweat?
Is it light-weight for carrying?
Does the lifespan of the mat compare favorably?
Comparison Tests for Quality Determination:
The Pinch Test -
Compare compression resistance by pinching the mat between thumb and forefinger.
The Quarter Test -
Compare durability by rubbing mat samples with the edge of a quarter until the surface breaks down.
Count the strokes. More strokes means longer life.
The Wet Friction Test -
Compare wet traction by moistening your hand to simulate sweating. Bear down laterally on the the mat surfaces.
» In side by side comparison tests, our mat has performed better than all others.
