Yoga Mats

Listed below are our simple cleaning tips to help you keep your Yoga Mat in great shape for your practice. Depending on the intensity of your practice, we recommend a gentle clean every 7–10 practices, as follows:

a) Add 3-5 pumps of the Liforme Everyday Cleaner* to a damp soft sponge and apply evenly across the entire surface of the mat.

b) Leave to soak in for 30 seconds and then take a clean damp sponge and wipe over the surface.

c) Leave to dry flat. Avoid drying the mat in direct sunlight as the mat is biodegradable and therefore, photo-sensitive.

d) Roll up your Liforme Mat with the colour side facing outwards, and store it in space at room temperature.

*If you don't have the Liforme Yoga Mat Cleaner you can use a small drop of dish soap diluted in plenty of water instead.

Depending on the intensity of your practice, we recommend a gentle clean every 7–10 practices to maintain hygiene and grip. If you practise frequently, aim for a deeper clean every 3-6 months. Always let the mat dry completely before storage.

Consider your Yoga style (slow and restorative vs. sweaty and dynamic), your joint cushioning, and where you’ll be practicing (home, studio, or travel). Look for Yoga mats that prioritise grip, alignment support, and planet-friendly materials.

The best Yoga Mat for beginners should offer a combination of support, comfort, and durability to transform your practice from day one. At Liforme, we understand the importance of starting your Yoga journey with the right foundation. Our beginner-friendly Yoga mats were designed to provide excellent grip, stability, and cushioning to help you maintain poses with confidence and ease.

All Liforme Yoga mats feature a unique alignment guide that help beginners to correctly position their hands and feet, promoting proper alignment and reducing the risk of injury. With a Liforme Yoga mat, beginners can focus on deepening their practice without worrying about slipping or discomfort.

When choosing a Yoga mat thickness, it's essential to find the right balance between comfort and stability for your practice.

For most Yogis, a standard thickness of around 4 to 5mm provide sufficient cushioning for joints while still allowing for a stable foundation during poses. This thickness offers a comfortable surface for seated and kneeling poses, as well as enough support for standing poses.

On the other hand, if you prioritise portability, you might prefer a thinner Liforme Travel Yoga Mat, which are around 2mm thick. These thinner mats much lighter than Liforme's Regular Yoga mats, making them ideal for the on the go Yogi.

If you prefer extra cushioning for sensitive joints or a softer feel underfoot, you may opt one of Liforme's Yoga Pad's, which can be used on top of any mat, for additional padding. Ideal for anyone seeking extra support during their practice.

The best Yoga mat material is one that offers the perfect balance of grip, durability, sustainability, and comfort for your practice. The majority of Yoga Mats are made from PVC, a material that is highly ill-suited to Yoga: due to its low-quality slippery surface and inefficient biodegradability.

Liforme prioritise the use of eco-friendly materials that transform your Yoga experience while minimising environmental impact. Liforme designed their own unique eco-polyurethane top surface, a non-toxic, PVC-free material that provides exceptional grip and support. This innovative material prevents slips during even during the most challenging of poses.

In addition to this, the natural rubber foundation of a Liforme Yoga Mat provide excellent traction and cushioning, ensuring a stable foundation for your practice, whilst being planet friendly and biodegradable in 1-5 years.

The length of a Yoga mat can vary depending on individual needs and preferences. Liforme, offer Yoga mats in various lengths and sizes to accommodate all needs and styles.

Regular Yoga mats typically measure around 68 to 72 inches in length, providing ample space for most Yoga poses, including standing, seated, and reclined postures. This length is suitable for Yogis of average height and offers enough room to move comfortably without feeling restricted during practice.

For taller individuals or those who prefer extra space for extended poses or dynamic movements, we also offer extra-long yoga mats, which are 210cm in length. These longer mats provide added room to stretch out comfortably and can accommodate taller practitioners without their limbs extending beyond the mat's edges.

The size of Yoga mat you need depends on your height, preference, and the space you have for practice.

Regular Liforme Yoga Mats are 72 inches (180 cm) long and 26 inches (68 cm) wide, suitable for most practitioners. Taller individuals or those who prefer extra room may opt for Liforme's XL Yoga Mats, which up to 82 inches (210 cm) in length and 27 inches(70cm) wide.

If you prioritise portability or have limited space for your practice, you may opt for a smaller Yoga mat, such as Liforme's Travel Mats, which are 70 inches (180cm) long and 25 inches (66cm) wide. These compact mats are lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for travel or smaller practice spaces.

Consider your height and comfort during practice when choosing the right size for your Yoga mat.

When it comes to the width of a Yoga mat, the standard measurement is typically around 24 inches. This width however, can result in some Yogis feeling restrained and restricted during their practice. Liforme Yoga Mats on the other hand, understand that individual preferences and body sizes vary, which is why they offer a range of Yoga mats to accommodate diverse needs.

Regular Liforme Yoga Mats are 26 inches (68 cm) wide and their Liforme's XL Yoga Mats, are 27 inches (70cm) wide, perfect for accommodating those with a larger frame.

The width of a Yoga mat ultimately depends on personal preference and body size. Wider mats offer more room for movement and stability, which can be beneficial for certain practices or larger individuals. Narrower mats are more portable but may feel cramped for some Yogis during certain poses.

The best grip often comes from natural rubber, which delivers excellent traction. Liforme Yoga Mats combine a sustainably sourced natural rubber base with their unique eco-polyurethane top layer. This non-toxic, PVC-free surface provides outstanding grip and support, helping prevent slips even during the most challenging poses. Together, these materials create the ideal balance of stability, comfort, and performance for any high-intensity or hot yoga practice.

Yes, Liforme Yoga Mats are ideal for hot Yoga, thanks to the enhanced traction provided by Liforme's GripForMe® technology, which keeps you stable during intense and sweaty sessions. While the mat performs exceptionally well on its own, for extremely hot or particularly sweaty classes, you can use a towel for extra security, though many practitioners find it unnecessary.

Good alignment supports safer, more effective practice. Our AlignForMe® markers provide gentle visual cues so you can correctly place your hands and feet, promoting proper alignment, reducing the risk of injury. Allowing you to progress with confidence.

The lifespan of a Liforme Mat can vary depending on how often you use it, the type and intensity of your practice, and how well you care for the mat. With regular use and proper maintenance, most customers find that their Liforme Yoga Mat lasts several years while still performing at a high level.

A few things that can affect durability:

• Frequency & Intensity of Practice: Daily use or more vigorous styles like Hot Yoga or Power Yoga will naturally lead to quicker wear compared to gentler, occasional sessions.
• Cleaning: Regularly clean your mat using gentle, natural cleaning products to maintain grip and hygiene. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as these can break down the materials faster.
• Storage: Let your mat air dry fully after practice, and store it away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Rolling it loosely and flat helps preserve its structure.
