(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 10, 2014 ) Edison, NJ - New Jersey -- Nearly everyone who practices yoga, Pilates or foam roller exercises owns a yoga mat. However, not everyone who owns these mats knows exactly what goes into making them. It's important to learn, as you will soon know why some are clearly better than others for both health and environmental reasons.
Adria Vasil of NOW Toronto magazine set out to find the difference between the various types of mats that yogis can purchase. Her findings might just surprise you.

some of the most common, cheapest mats, but these actually aren't that great for users. She learned that the primary substance, polyvinyl chloride, is controversial due to its lack of environmental friendliness.
These shoddy mats are often treated with hormone-disrupting phthalates, which have been banned in children's toys but found in yoga mats available everywhere but Denmarkwhich is set to bar their use in 2015.
One great alternative that Vasil provided is PER mats, which replicate the look and feel of PER mats but are eco-friendly and more durable. Elite Trend HQ's Premium Yoga and Pilates Mattes are designed from this very material, which make them the best option on the market at a mere $38.
The big reason why you will want to go with a PER yoga mat over a PVC one is the absence of phthalates. Vasil found that instead of utilizing these contentious materials, PER mats are comprised of acetyl tributyl citrate, a safe plastic softener.
Yoga enthusiasts that care about their healthwhich is a hopefully a great numberwill be pleased to know that these PER mats are much better and safer to use than the ubiquitous PVC mats.
Those that own a PVC mat and are looking to replace it, or just getting ready to buy their first yoga mat should look no further than the best environmentally friendly yoga mat that money can buy, the Premium Yoga Mat from Elite Trend.
