Why Pick a KELLO Cork Mat Over Other Yoga Mats

KELLO Cork Yoga Mats offer a premium alternative to mainstream yoga mats made from TPE, PVC, or foam. If you're looking for better stability, grip, and eco-friendly materials, here’s why a cork mat is worth choosing — especially a KELLO cork mat backed with natural rubber.

1. Advantages of Cork vs TPE, PVC, or Foam Mats

  • Natural anti-microbial properties: Cork resists bacteria, odour, and sweat — perfect for hot yoga or frequent use.
  • Better grip when wet: Cork becomes grippier with moisture, unlike foam mats that become slippery.
  • Eco-friendly: Cork is renewable, biodegradable, and harvested sustainably.
  • No harsh chemical smell: Cork mats have a clean, natural scent compared to PVC or synthetic mats.
  • Smoother on skin: Cork provides a soft, natural surface that’s gentle during floor poses.

2. Natural Rubber Base vs Other Mat Bases

Many traditional mats use TPE, NBR, or foam bases that offer cushioning but lack stability and durability. KELLO uses high-density natural rubber for a strong foundation.

  • Superior floor grip: Rubber anchors to the ground for a grounded, stable practice.
  • Heavier and more stable: The mat stays in place — ideal for balance poses and faster flows.
  • More durable: Rubber retains its structure and does not compress unevenly over time.
  • Eco-conscious: Natural rubber is biodegradable and free from PVC and synthetic fillers.

3. Longer and Wider for More Comfort

KELLO mats measure 183cm x 66cm x 4mm, giving you more room compared to many standard yoga mats. This is especially helpful for taller yogis or anyone who prefers more space in their practice.

4. Grounded & Stable Practice Experience

The weight and density of natural rubber provide a grounded feel that makes transitions smoother and alignment more controlled. This results in a more connected practice compared to lightweight foam mats that tend to shift or bunch up.

5. Sustainable Choice

Both cork and natural rubber are environmentally friendly materials, offering a yoga mat option without PVC, toxic plastics, or synthetic odours.
