Some people prefer cotton yoga mats over standard yoga mats. It really just comes down to personal preference. Some people like the feel of natural
cotton under their feet and feel these mats help with traction while others are happy with sticky mats or other popular yoga mats.
Cotton yoga mats are regarded as the natural alternative to the sometimes chemical-ridden standard yoga mats. Cotton yoga mats are non-toxic and eco-friendly and are usually made from unbleached, chemical-free cotton and are soft and thick. They provide the perfect non-slip surface, for practicing yoga and are durable, portable, easy to look after and washable. Some cotton yoga mats have a non-slip backing made from renewable, biodegradable rubber, which again helps which the problematic issue of slipping during yoga practice.
Cotton yoga mats can be folded or rolled and taken with you to yoga class in cute yoga mat bags. There are mixed feelings in regards to how portable
cotton yoga mats actually are as some people say they are too heavy to carry around while others think they are the perfect size and weight for travelling with. This seems to be dependent on what type of cotton yoga mat you choose. Some are more lightweight and you will easily be able to take them to yoga class while others are more heavy and it may be easier to just leave them at home for private practice.
Cotton yoga mats are of course available in a variety of different lengths, widths, colours and styles. Cotton yoga mats soak up sweat which means your grip will remain on the mat and you won’t slip when you perspire. These types of yoga mats are great for restorative yoga as they are extremely soft and comfortable. People even use them as sleeping mats at yoga retreats or when they nap.
