What Sunny Health & Fitness Anti-Slip Yoga Mat is made of, ingredients and materials
This mat uses a rubber or PVC foam base with an unspecified dual-color coating, likely applied for grip and durability. PVC foam can off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly during the first weeks of use and when exposed to heat or sunlight. The coating composition is not disclosed by the brand, making it impossible to assess whether it contains plasticizers, adhesives, or other chemical additives that could leach or volatilize over time.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Unknown / proprietary coating
A coating is recorded with no disclosed chemistry.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
PVC foam mats commonly release volatile organic compounds and potentially formaldehyde-based adhesives, especially new. This product provides no off-gassing certification or material safety data sheet to rule this out.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating degradation and leaching
The dual-color coating composition is unspecified. If it contains plasticizers, dyes, or uncrosslinked polymers, sweat, heat, or repeated flexing could cause surface breakdown and chemical migration over time.
Microplastic shedding
PVC and synthetic foam mats can shed microparticles during use and breakdown, especially as coating peels. Long-term accumulation in homes and release to waterways is a concern if disposal is not proper.
What’s reassuring
Heavy metals
No safety testing or recalls for toxic dyes or heavy metal pigments in this product are on record. However, the brand does not disclose dye chemistry or certify compliance with azo or heavy metal limits.
Source, FDA ↗Flame retardants
No evidence this mat contains added flame retardants, which is typical for yoga mats. Foam base itself may have some inherent flame resistance; chemical formulations are not disclosed.

The brand's record and disclosure
Sunny Health & Fitness has not publicly disclosed material safety data, certifications (such as Oeko-Tex or GREENGUARD), or testing results for this product line. The brand maintains silence on PFAS use and coating chemistry. No major product recalls specific to this mat are on record, but the lack of transparency is a red flag for informed purchasing.
How it compares in its category
Yoga mats in this price range commonly use PVC or rubber foam bases with similar disclosure gaps. Higher-end alternatives often carry third-party certifications (Oeko-Tex, GREENGUARD Gold) and transparent material declarations. Natural rubber or TPE mats with certified low-VOC coatings represent a lower concern category alternative, though they typically cost more.
If you buy it
Air out the mat in a well-ventilated space for 48 hours before first use to reduce VOC off-gassing. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or heat above 140F, which can accelerate degradation and leaching. Inspect the surface regularly for cracks, peeling, or discoloration; replace if coating integrity fails. Wash with mild soap and cool water only; avoid chlorine or heat-based cleaning methods.
