PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

This is a synthetic plastic polymer, after the foam becomes the main material for making gymnastics mats, is one of the most common gymnastics mat materials, about 80% of the gymnastics mats on the market are made of PVC. They are less expensive but have a shorter lifespan, starting to crack somewhat after about 1 year. They are also very common in terms of performance, such as elasticity, grip, and slip resistance. Some studies have shown that it may be a carcinogen, so if you're health-conscious, you may want to avoid gymnastics mats made of PVC.

TPE

This is a synthetic rubber compound that is recyclable and very environmentally friendly. It is characterized by elasticity, good slip resistance, and less odor. Generally better quality gymnastics mats are made of this material.

Natural rubber

If you ask me, what is the most important thing about a gymnastics mat? It's definitely the slip resistance! As the name suggests, this is a natural material. Many Yogi prefer gymnastics mats made of natural rubber to PVC. It is the texture, non-slip and environmental protection that can be said to be the best of these three materials, durability is also very high (some up to 10 years). But it has a disadvantage, that is, the smell will be a little heavier, need to dry a few days and so the smell dissipated.
