These two kinds of mats can be recycled to avoid environmental pollution. They are mainly soft, comfortable and flat, with strong grip. Each floor mat of TPE weighs about1200g, which is about 300g lighter than that of PVC, so it is easy to carry. It is waterproof and non-slip. Even if you sweat, the effect of practicing anti-skid on it is still great!
But the price of TPE floor mats is very expensive (depending on everyone's needs). From the perspective of cost performance, PVC floor mats are more economical.
First of all, and most importantly, see if there are even bubbles at both ends of the mat (after the mat is rolled up), which are bigger and more even! This shows that the foam is good.
1. Take a yoga mat and don't open it yet. Smell the top of the mat with your nose to see if there is a pungent smell. Generally, a good yoga mat won't have too much flavor. After opening, it can be placed for two days, which can give off a trace of fragrance! If the smell doesn't go away after a long time, then it may be that the quality of this summer mat is not enough, and long-term use will cause harm to the body.
2. Touch it with your hands, and it's not important. If it is heavy, it may not be PVC foaming technology, but made of raw materials. (generally about 2.5 kg, yoga mat 1.5 kg. ) PVC foaming technology, excellent elasticity, will soon return to its original state after stepping on it! Other techniques can't be played for a long time. The big gap between these processes is one of the reasons for the biggest price gap.
3. Look carefully at the workmanship after opening it to see if it is fine. Generally, domestic cushions are very rough. Only one side is foamed, and the side that touches the ground has no anti-slip design! . There are also sellers who sell foot mats as yoga mats, so everyone should polish their eyes. )
4. Gently push the surface of the yoga mat with your palm and feel dry. If there is too much foaming agent residue on the surface of the yoga mat, it will feel slippery, and it is easy to slip when practicing on it. (But like some good yoga mats in Taiwan Province Province, there is an antibacterial layer on them at first, which makes you feel a little slippery when you sweat, but don't worry, the anti-slip effect will appear after this layer gradually recedes! But the domestic cushion won't work, and it keeps sliding like this. )
5. Try to choose 6mm thick. For example, if you do some knee-landing movements, you won't feel pain.
Procurement project
Pay attention to the following points when purchasing yoga mats: the length should not be shorter than the height, and the width should not be narrower than the shoulder width.
When the thickness is about 6mm, too thin cushion joints will feel pain when touching the ground, and too thick cushion joints will affect the stability of standing movements. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for beginners to choose a 7MM yoga mat. )
Observe the elasticity of the yoga mat. Pinch the yoga mat with your hands. If you feel your fingers are easy to pinch together, it proves that the yoga mat is too soft. Even if the yoga mat is thick, knees and other joints will hurt when they touch the ground. If the yoga mat is too hard, it's not good. Our fragile skin is unacceptable, and it is easy to break and difficult to preserve. Be sure to choose a yoga mat with good elasticity and moderate hardness to match your own practice.
Uniformity of yoga mat. Lay the yoga mat flat and observe its foaming uniformity. If the foam on the surface of the floor mat is uneven, it is easy to be damaged during use. If the foamed convex part is damaged, it cannot be repaired.
Moderate weight. Because you need to carry a yoga mat with you in many cases, try not to choose a too heavy mat to carry with you.
The anti-skid performance of the mat surface, the mat is flat, and the mat is pushed forward with the palm of your hand. If the floor mat slides on the ground or hands slide on the surface of the floor mat, it means that the anti-skid performance of the floor mat is not very good. It may cause unnecessary injuries during practice, so such mats should be used with caution.
Cleaning steps
1, use a washbasin to fill clean water, add washing liquid and stir well.
2, put the towel into the washbasin, wring the towel and get wet.
3. Wipe the yoga mat with a towel to clean the dirt.
4. Replace the washbasin with clean water, wash the towel, repeat it several times with a clean towel, and wipe off the washing liquid.
5. Hang the yoga mat in the shade to dry.
Caution: Don't be exposed to the sun.
Yoga mat is soft and elastic, which can effectively reduce the pain caused by contact between the body and the ground, and is an ideal choice for yoga practitioners. The yoga mat in the school sub-station is light in weight and small in size, which can be rolled up for collection and easy to carry.
