The Liforme Original Yoga Mat
Liforme pioneered the alignment system and the most effective 'GripForMe' polyurethane top layer which remains grippy even during heavy sweating. It is uniquely biodegradable in 1-5 years in normal landfill conditions, solving the environmental issue of synthetic mats.
Quality & Materials
Uses a patented eco-polyurethane top surface and a natural rubber base. Free from PVC and heavy metals like lead and cadmium.
Evidence & Testing
Patented 'AlignForMe' system is based on anatomical research. Third-party verified for biodegradability.
Brand Transparency
Excellent transparency regarding their material sourcing and the 5-year development process of their proprietary grip material.
Value Assessment
The $150 price tag is the highest in the category, which slightly lowers the value score, but the inclusion of a high-quality carry bag and the alignment tech justifies it for serious practitioners.
Why Not Alternatives?
Liforme outperforms competitors like Gaiam or Lululemon in sheer grip performance. Unlike other PU mats that use toxic glues to bond layers, Liforme uses a heat-bonding process to avoid skin-irritating adhesives.
