Product description

72"x24" 4.5mm thick yoga mat made out of cork and natural rubber, including a convenient eco carrying strap. The cork is naturally clean and the natural rubber on the bottom assures a nonslip grip to the floor. This mat is an amazing alternative to those nasty plastic mats that are bad for the environment (and your health because of the chemicals) and are biodegradable and completely sustainable. This mat has no funny plastic smell and the cork leads to a natural and earthy aesthetic. This mat is great for women, men, and children. It's long enough that even tall users will find more than enough room and it's thick enough that even those with sensitive joint (knees, elbows) will find support and comfort. It can be used for any type of yoga practice, pilates, floor fitness regimen, or home workout. Your workout can help you gain flexibility, physical and mental health benefits, and even weight loss. Let Hautest Health become a part of your fitness journey today, you will be glad you chose us!

• NON-TOXIC: TPE that is in most of our competitors' mats is highly TOXIC. Multiple studies have been published that cite the chemicals in plastic (PVC) yoga mats as hormone disrupting and carcinogenic. Our natural mat is completely free of any chemicals or TPE commonly found in fitness mats.
• NATURALLY CLEAN: Cork is naturally cleaner than rubber or plastic mats, so even when workouts are super sweaty your mat will stay clean and odor free. See third photo for cleaning instructions
• NON-SLIP GRIP ENHANCED WHEN WET: Cork gets even more traction the wetter that it gets which makes it the perfect material for a workout mat. As you move through your workout your grip will be enhanced. However, most people won't sweat on the bottom of their mats, so we added natural rubber to give you substantially better traction that an all cork mat. If mat is too slippery, slightly wet your hands or lightly spritz with water for a better grip
• ECO-FRIENDLY: Cork is a 100% biodegradable resource which comes from a plant that is rapidly renewable. The natural rubber is also from a plant and completely biodegradable. We work with our suppliers to ensure our cork and rubber are SUSTAINABLY harvested with as little impact on the environment as possible. Unlike plastic mats that will sit in landfills for thousands of years, this mat will completely biodegrade and won't add to our landfills!
• DURABLE: 4.5mm thick of natural rubber keeps your mat from tearing. Will not tear or crack with intense use! Thick and strong mat proven to stand up for multiple years of your yoga practice or fitness routine. LIFETIME GUARANTEE if you have any questions or concerns about your mat, please contact us via Amazon message and we will happily assist you

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the mat have off gassing smell? Is it from natural or recycled rubber
Answer:	I did not think it had a strong off-gassing smell. I am generally very sensitive to that and feel like I would have noticed. I keep the mat in my car and cannot smell it at all.
Question:	Can this yoga mat be used on both sides? (i.e. rubber side up
Answer:	Although we don't recommend using the cork side down because the cork is naturally antimicrobial and designed to keep your face/body clean during your practice, a customer reached out previously and said she has enjoyed using the rubber side up.
Question:	How was the rubber and cork stuck together
Answer:	Don't know, but they're very tightly bound.
Question:	How much does it weigh
Answer:	Without weighing it for sure, I would estimate 5 lbs. It is definitely much heavier than a traditional yoga mat, so if you have to carry it for a long time, it might be too much. That said, the extra weight helps to keep it anchored firmly to the floor while you are using it. Mine came with a strap that is a thin string of jute rope that is not really comfortable on my shoulder. I would recommend getting a thicker, softer strap.

• CORK YOGA MAT: Features an all-natural, sustainable cork on the top, and a non-toxic, lightweight TPE rubber on the bottom for a premium yoga mat
• KEEPS OUT DIRT & ODOR: Cork resists moisture will not absorb any funky smell or odor
• HOT YOGA MAT: A must-have for all types of yoga, but especially heated and hot yoga classes, as temperatures rise and the cork begins to loosen it will become softer and easier to grip when slightly damp
• SUPERIOR GRIP: The cork's grip and traction increases with moisture and heat, offering a superior grip
• DIMENSIONS: 68-Inch x 24-Inch x 5mm / Weight = 4. 5lbs

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this manufactured
Answer:	China.
Question:	Where is the rubber harvested from
Answer:	I believe their non-toxic rubber is synthetic, meaning made by humans and machines, not harvested from a rubber tree.

Answer:	This mat is 5mm.
Question:	Description states it’s 5mm, but features and details show it as 6mm. Which one should I believe

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the light colored mats show dirt
Answer:	Yes, I have a pink mat and the dirt shows. It is easily wiped off and looks just like new. Sweat changes the color when it is wet, but then dries back to normal color.
Question:	Is this 1.6" thick or .16? Both a given
Answer:	I tried to measure it with a common tape measure...it's maybe .25 at most so .16 is possible. The stuff it's made out of doesn't "bottom out" easily though. I was using 2 mats on top of each other before I got this mat, because my knees were uncomfortable. This mat works great for me, and most people in my classes use it as well. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does the alignforme system work for a 5'1" women? are the alignment marks too wide for a smaller height
Answer:	I’m 5’8” and this mat is absolutely perfect for me- however, I can see how the marks are guidelines that would work for any height. Just adjust as needed. You won’t rely on the marks for long anyway as you master your practice. Even if this mat had no marks at all I would buy it hands down every time. Best mat out there. !
Question:	Question for people who bought this mat more than 7 months: how is the grip? Is it still firm? And how often have you used the mat? Thank you
Answer:	I have had mine for almost a year. It started losing it's grip about 4 months ago. I have to send it back and if they find that it is defective they will send me a new one.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this mat have a chemically odor when it is new
Answer:	I just got this mat and despite what others have said in reviews, it definitely has a strong odor! I've aired it for a few days now, but cannot use it yet due to the strong chemical/rubber smell that surrounds the mat and gets on your skin. Would rinsing with soap help and does the manufacturer recommend this as a solution?
