Where these two actually differ

  • We flag VOC off-gassing and odor, Latex allergen (natural rubber variants) and Microparticle shedding on the Adidas and not on the Iyengar Yoga.
  • We flag Natural rubber latex allergen (if natural rubber composition) and Microplastic shedding from surface degradation on the Iyengar Yoga and not on the Adidas.
  • The Adidas is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or natural rubber base where the Iyengar Yoga is Rubber (likely natural or synthetic rubber), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
