Wool vs synthetic play mats: the numbers compared.

For daily practice, wool is the only material that regulates temperature in both directions — comfort held from 15 to 35 °C, and simply airing the mat after a session clears odours and bacteria. Cork has one counter-intuitive quality: its grip improves the more you sweat.

Long valued for its natural qualities, wool was gradually forgotten and replaced by more standardised synthetics. Yet it has everything you look for in a yoga mat: comfort, grip, natural temperature regulation and a feel against the body that nothing else matches. What if the oldest material turned out to be the best one to practise on?
