What Is An Air Track Mat For-Part1

If environmental friendliness is important to you, it is recommended that you avoid mats made of PVC, as this material cannot be decomposed. You can choose mats made of TPE or natural rubber, which are both environmentally friendly and durable.

How to choose an air track mat?

Thickness

The thickness of a gymnastics mat has a lot to do with comfort.
If it is too thin, it is easy to feel pain or discomfort when doing some sports, and need to put your knees or elbows on the floor.
If it is too thick, it is difficult to keep the body balance when doing some asanas that require balance. The thickness of a normal gymnastics mat is about 4mm-6mm, thinner and thicker are available.

Generally speaking, it is recommended that beginners choose a 6mm thick gymnastics mat because a thicker one can provide more protection for the body and avoid injuries. But do not blindly pursue high thickness, after all, yoga is a very important balance of the movement, the mat is too thick and easily leads to instability of the center of gravity, which is not conducive to the perception of the movement of the force.

Material

The material of a gymnastics mat decides its texture, stickiness, comfort, and its longevity. The difference in performance between different materials is significant. There are three main types of materials available on the market: PVC, TPE, and natural rubber.

Anti-slip degree

A mat that is not slippery enough will make your palms slide downward when doing certain yoga poses (especially downward facing dog) and you will not be able to concentrate on your yoga practice. I myself have had this experience, because of the cheap price so every time I buy a gymnastics mat does not have a good anti-slip degree, so I can not properly focus on my practice.
