Harmony Yoga Mat
The Harmony mat is the gold standard for natural rubber mats, offering superior 'dry grip' without the use of synthetic materials. It is sustainably sourced and manufactured in the USA in compliance with all environmental and labor laws.
Ingredients & Purity
Made with natural rubber tapped from rubber trees, a renewable resource. Contains no PVC, PER, or heavy metals.
Scientific Evidence
Complies with US environmental, labor, and consumer protection laws. While it lacks some textile-specific certifications of Manduka, its material purity is well-documented.
Brand Transparency
JadeYoga is highly transparent about their 'Trees for the Future' partnership (planting a tree for every mat sold) and their US-based manufacturing process.
Value Assessment
At $85, it is the best-performing natural rubber mat in its price bracket, though natural rubber does have a shorter lifespan (3-5 years) than high-end PVC.
Why Not Alternatives?
Many 'natural' mats are actually TPE/rubber blends with undisclosed fillers. JadeYoga uses 100% natural rubber and avoids the slippery polyurethane coatings found on mats like Lululemon or Liforme, which can become slick when wet for some users.
