Why Pick a KELLO Cork Mat vs Other Cork Mats

Not all cork yoga mats are created equal. While many brands offer cork surfaces, the base material, size, stability, and overall performance can vary significantly. KELLO Cork Yoga Mats are designed to offer better support, grip, and durability, especially for yogis who want a premium practice experience.

1. Longer Size for More Space

Most cork yoga mats are built to a standard length of around 173cm. KELLO Cork Mats extend to 183cm, giving you more room to stretch fully in poses like downward dog, plank, lunges, or savasana.

This extra space is ideal for practitioners who are 175–190cm+ tall or simply prefer a roomier practice area.

2. Natural Rubber Base — Not Foam

Many cork mats on the market use foam or TPE bases. While lightweight, they lack grounding and often lose structure over time. KELLO uses a premium natural rubber base that provides:

  • Better connection and grounding
  • Superior floor grip — the mat stays in place
  • Longer lifespan and resistance to curling edges
  • A flat, stable surface for balance and strength poses

3. Superior Grip & Stability

The combination of cork + natural rubber ensures improved traction. Rubber grips the floor strongly, preventing slips, while cork becomes grippier with sweat — ideal for dynamic or hot yoga sessions.

4. More Durable & Long-Lasting

Foam-backed cork mats tend to degrade, warp, or peel over time. A natural rubber foundation maintains its structure and performance even with daily use.

5. Eco-Friendly Materials

KELLO Cork Mats use two sustainable materials:

  • Cork — harvested without harming the tree
  • Natural rubber — biodegradable and free from harsh plastics

This makes KELLO a better choice for eco-conscious practitioners.
