Where these two actually differ
- We flag Natural rubber latex allergen (if natural rubber composition) and Microplastic shedding from surface degradation on the Iyengar Yoga and not on the Iyengar Yoga.
- We flag VOC off-gassing (polyurethane) and Degradation and microparticle shedding on the Iyengar Yoga and not on the Iyengar Yoga.
- The Iyengar Yoga is Rubber (likely natural or synthetic rubber) where the Iyengar Yoga is PVC-free polyurethane/natural rubber blend, 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 →
