Materials And Durability
It is common sense, and true, that yoga mats that are thicker last longer than thin mats. Just know--mats of all thicknesses last a pretty long time, so this might not be a concern. You’ll want to think about the material your mat is made from when you’re making your decision on which to buy.
PVC is a plastic-based material that many mats are made of. It’s durable, cleanable and grippy. Please note that they’re not absorbent, so they can become very slick when wet with seat. It’s also latex-free, a consideration if you have latex allergies. But it’s not biodegradable or as environmentally good as other options.
