Laguna Yoga Mat
While the 5mm thickness provides adequate cushioning, the use of TPE material is a primary red flag as it is prone to flaking and disintegration compared to high-density PVC or natural rubber. The mat lacks essential safety certifications like OEKO-TEX and contains no internal scrim for tensile strength, making it a basic budget option with limited longevity.
