At present, there are two common yoga mats on the market: PVC and ordinary plastic. Among them, PVC has better quality. PVC yoga mat is soft after foaming, which plays the role of anti-slip and buffering, and is very suitable for yoga.
Yoga mats made of this material are strong in grip, soft, docile and easy to carry, while cheap yoga mats are made of ordinary plastics, which are characterized by affordable prices and can be bought everywhere, but their durability and comfort are not good. It is not even excluded that some yoga mats are made of secondary plastic, and the quality is not guaranteed.
For friends who have just learned yoga, the greater the thickness, the better the effect. For example, a 6 mm thick yoga mat can effectively prevent sports injuries. When you are proficient, you can consider using a yoga mat with a thickness of 3.5 mm to 5 mm Of course, if the requirements are not too harsh, you can always choose a thicker yoga mat to practice.
If you are practicing a flexible yoga exercise, you should choose a thicker and softer yoga mat to make you more comfortable, because you often need to sit down and finish it. But if you practice jumping yoga, you need a thinner and harder mat, and a yoga mat that is too soft is not easy to do. If you have both, it is recommended to choose a thicker one, because the cushion is too thin and there are certain safety hazards.
