Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is 6mm thick enough?
Yes for most practices. 6mm is the sweet spot — thick enough for knees and wrists, thin enough for balance poses.
Q: Does it grip well when sweaty?
The sticky texture grips well for standard yoga. For hot yoga, use a yoga towel on top.
Q: How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry — never machine wash.
