Which yoga mat with or without silicone is more non-slip?

Why is a yoga mat with silicone more slip resistant than a yoga mat without silicone? What are its advantages?

The silicone yoga mat has no smell, no matter how it is folded, there will be no seams, and it can recover quickly. The texture is soft and fits on the floor. If the floor is flat, the entire yoga mat can be firmly attached to the ground. This is the so-called grip. Good elasticity, strong resilience, soft texture, strong elasticity, can reduce the pain of body contact with the ground, good anti-slip effect, strong toughness and strong tension resistance.

Yoga mats are placed on the bottom when practicing yoga. The materials of yoga mats are generally divided into TPE foam, PVC foam, EVA, latex mat, CBR mat and so on. The surface of the yoga mat has uniform particles, full bubbles, soft hand feeling, non-toxic, odorless, non-slip, strong resilience, and strong tear resistance. It is an ideal choice for yoga practitioners. In addition, the yoga mat can effectively block the cold on the ground, has a strong grip, has outstanding resilience, flatness, slip resistance, and human skin compatibility. And you can also do some other fitness exercises on it, which is suitable for children's play mats and outdoor camping mats.

Purchase items:

When buying a yoga mat, you should pay attention to the following points: the length should not be shorter than the height, and the width should not be narrower than the shoulder width.

1. The thickness is about 6mm. A too thin cushion will feel pain when the joints touch the ground, and too thick will affect the stability of standing movements. (Generally, beginners choose a 7MM yoga mat is more moderate)

2. Observe the elasticity of the yoga mat. Squeeze the yoga mat with your hands. If you feel that your fingers are easy to pinch together, it proves that the yoga mat is too soft. Even if the yoga mat is thicker, the joints such as the knees will feel painful when they touch the ground. If the yoga mat is too hard, it is not very good. Our fragile skin cannot accept it, and it breaks easily and is not easy to store. Be sure to choose a yoga mat with good flexibility and moderate hardness to match your practice.

3. The uniformity of the yoga mat. Lay the yoga mat flat and observe the uniformity of its foaming. If the foaming surface is uneven, it is easy to be damaged during use. If the foamed protrusion is damaged, it cannot be repaired.

4. Moderate weight. Because yoga mats need to be carried with us in many cases, try not to choose too heavy mats for easy carrying.

5. The anti-slip property of the cushion surface, the cushion is flat, press the cushion firmly with the palm and then push forward. If the cushion slides on the ground or the hand slides on the cushion surface, the anti-slip property of the cushion is not very good. It is possible to cause unnecessary injury during the exercise, this kind of mat should be used with caution.

Several common yoga mats:

1. The main components of TPE foamed cushions are TPE, EVA and synthetic rubber, which have relatively high production costs, high production processes, and high industry entry barriers. The product is of good quality, elastic enough, soft and high in slip resistance. It does not contain plastic and is easy to decompose. It is currently a more promising product and is deeply loved by environmentalists. TPE cushions can currently be 10 mm thick.

2. PVC foamed cushions are more extensive, the price is relatively cheap, the color is diverse, the production cost is low, the process is simple, and it is easy to make the logo according to the customer's requirements, and is deeply loved by the public. The disadvantage is that plastic products are not easy to decompose naturally and pollute the earth.

3. EVA cushions are also very environmentally friendly, and there are low-cost and high-grade ones. Inexpensive EVA is too soft and tastes too strong. The high quality is very good, but the thickness can only be 4 mm. The Middle East market prefers EVA cushions.

4. Latex mats usually add a layer of hay to the surface, and the cost is between PVC mats and TPE mats. It can be regarded as an environmentally friendly product. The US market likes more.

5. The CBR cushion is too heavy and the cost is not low. Wear-resistant, slippery, odorless, usually black.

The thickness of yoga mats are mainly 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, and 7 mm. Among them, 6mm is the standard thickness. It is more suitable for beginners. The TPE cushion can reach 10mm, which is very soft.
