Almost Perfect PRO Yoga Mat vs IUGA Eco-Friendly Non Slip TPE Yoga Mat: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde off-gassing, Natural rubber protein allergen (latex sensitivity) and Microparticle shedding from foam and rubber degradation on the Manduka and not on the Tpe Yoga Mat.
• We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) off-gassing, Microplastic shedding and Mold or bacterial growth if moisture-trapped on the Tpe Yoga Mat and not on the Manduka.
• The Manduka is closed-cell PVC-free foam, rubber top where the Tpe Yoga Mat is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Manduka is the one to buy.
