RatMats

Q: Your RatMat Pro line is made of 100% TPE—what’s TPE?
A: TPE stands for Thermoplastic Elastomer. TPE is a man-made, eco-friendly material. It is nontoxic in manufacture, and is also recyclable and biodegradable.
Q: What does it mean that your mats are SGS certified?
A: SGS is a world-renowned independent testing and certification company that tests the quality, safety and performance of products against relevant health, safety and regulatory standards. All YogaRat mats are SGS tested and certified for eco-friendliness.
Q: Is the ink you use to print on your mats safe?
A: Yes, the printing ink used on all our mats is nontoxic.
Q: What are your RatMat Classic mats made out of?
A: Our RatMat Classic line is made from nontoxic PVC foam, without the use of toxic plasticizers. Most PVC mats are constructed with chemicals called pthalates that are toxic to the environment. PVC in its base form is fairly rigid; it is used to make plumbing pipes. The plasticizers, the chemicals used to make the PVC soft and pliable so it can be a yoga mat, are what can leech into the environment and cause damage. The plasticizers used for our mats are nontoxic. Please be aware that even nontoxic mats made of PVC may off-gas a bit when first unwrapped. This is normal and should subside very quickly.

RatTowels

Q: What’s the difference between your Yoga Towels and your Hot Yoga Towels?
A: Our Hot Yoga Towels are made from a thicker-weave fabric than our Yoga Towels, so they’re even more absorbent. Those who do yoga in the hot zone may appreciate this, as will anyone who prefers a thicker towel. Because our Hot Yoga Towel is made of thicker fabric, it’s about twice the volume of our Yoga Towel when rolled or folded.
Also, Hot Yoga towels measure 25” x 72” and Yoga Towels measure 24” x 72”
