FAQs
What material is the Sweaty Betty Balance Yoga Mat made of?
The mat is made from a rubberised TPE fabric, consisting of 20% Polyurethane and 80% Rubber. It is completely latex-free.
Is this mat suitable for beginners?
Yes, the dual-sided grip and comfortable cushioning make it suitable for practitioners of all levels, including beginners.
How often should I clean my yoga mat?
It is recommended to wipe down your mat after each use. For a deeper clean, follow the care instructions provided, typically involving a mild soap solution and air drying.
Can I use this mat for hot yoga?
While the mat offers good grip, it is not specifically designed for hot yoga conditions where excessive sweat can accumulate. Ensure the mat is clean and dry before use.
What are the dimensions of the mat?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is designed to be a standard size suitable for yoga and Pilates.
How should I store the mat when not in use?
Store the mat rolled up in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its material integrity and prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Mat is slippery
Ensure the mat is clean and dry. Try the alternate side for a different grip texture. Mild moisture on hands or feet can sometimes enhance grip on certain surfaces of the mat.
Mat has a strong odor
Air out the mat in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours. The odor is typical of new TPE products and will dissipate over time. You can also wipe it down with a mild, diluted cleaning solution.
Mat is difficult to unroll or stays curled
Lay the mat flat in a warm environment for several hours. You can place heavy, flat objects (like books) on the edges to help it lay flat more quickly.
