TPE floor mats are made of environmentally-friendly materials, and the requirements for production technology and raw materials are very high in the production process, so the price is more expensive than PVC. At present, there are not many factories that can produce TPE floor mats in China, and most of them are imported from Taiwan Province Province.
There are many kinds of PVC cushions, and the price ranges from ten to dozens. The TPE is mostly 100 yuan or even several hundred yuan.
However, twenty or thirty dollars can never buy a better quality PVC cushion.
Difference 2: the smell of new TPE floor mats can be dispersed, while the smell of poor quality PVC floor mats cannot be dispersed.
TPE floor mats are environmentally friendly, so there is no odor? The newly bought TPE mat will also have a little smell of the raw material itself (unless the seller opens the mat in advance to dispel the smell).
But don't worry, it's not like a poor quality mat, and the smell won't disappear. The new summer sleeping mat we bought can dispel the smell in a day or two after opening it and putting it in a ventilated and cool place. I want to draw your attention here: thousands of things can't be dried! )
If it is a poor quality mat, the smell will not disappear for several days.
Difference 3: TPE floor mats have better skid resistance and elasticity.
We can't worry about skid resistance and elasticity when we buy TPE floor mats. Because the mat made of this material can't be compared with PVC in skid resistance, elasticity, workmanship and so on, it can be skid-proof even if it sweats.
Difference 4: TPE cushion has long service life.
TPE cushion is more durable than PVC, and its service time is four or five times that of PVC.
In terms of cost performance, PVC cushions are more economical. But compared with PVC yoga mat, TPE yoga mat has insurmountable advantages:
1, non-toxic, free of metal elements, naturally oxidized and cracked, recyclable, avoiding environmental pollution;
2, soft, close-fitting, strong grip-the whole mat can be attached to the ground;
3. Lightweight, the weight of each cushion is about 1200g, which is about 300g lighter than PVC foam cushion, so it is easy to carry and collect;
4, waterproof, anti-slip, even if the soles of the feet and palms sweat, doing yoga on it, the anti-slip effect is still very good, and the front and back are very beautiful.
Anti-skid particles have better anti-skid effect;
5. Better elasticity and strong resilience. Although the thickness is only 6mm, because of its strong resilience, you will feel very soft and comfortable doing yoga on it, and you will not feel thin at all.
Second, the choice of thickness.
Novices generally choose 6mm, and after a certain foundation, they can choose 4mm thick.
