(Health-NewsWire.Net, February 23, 2016 ) La Grange, IL -- It was one of the biggest complaints yogis shared with Kate Rufa, owner of Making Merry Products and the Tranquil Tree brand exercise and yoga mat.
‘Yoga mats stink. They smell like plastic.'
The all natural rubber type didn't get a much better response. ‘They smell like tires.'
"Nothing can distract a person like a smell," Kate observed. "Think of what happens when you catch a familiar scent. You're drawn into a memory. Well, what I heard was the yoga mat smell distracted people from their practice, and maybe wasn't creating the best memories of their workouts."
The Tranquil Tree yoga mat is made of 100% TPE. This means it doesn't contain PVCs or phthalates, the common causes of ‘yoga mat smell'. And since it doesn't contain any rubber or latex, there's no rubber odor either.
The nature of TPE also makes it easy to transport and store. It makes a denser foam so less is needed to cushion and support during a workout. That makes it lightweight, easier to roll up and carry.
"When I first looked at TPE, I was primarily focused on whether it would eliminate the smell everyone told me they didn't like," Kate recalled. "As I looked into it more, I realized that TPE would be more durable, light and easier to carry, no matter the age of user, simpler to clean and of course, it would be stink free. In my opinion, this is the future of yoga mats."
TPE eliminates yoga mat smell. And based on the comments of many who use the Tranquil Tree exercise and yoga mat, the absence of the yoga mat smell is a pleasant surprise. Here's what a few of them have said:
"I'm always a little wary of opening a new mat because there's so much chemical smell and gas off and then there's fighting the curling of a new mat. This mat has none of those issues." – Amazon Reviewer, Wearer of Multiple Hats
"The first thing I noticed is there is no chemical smell." - Amazon Reviewer, Evie
"The first thing I noticed was that their was no rubber or chemical odor at all." – Amazon Reviewer, Joan Stelter
"When I received the mat there was no noticeable chemical smell, or any other smell for that matter." - Amazon Reviewer, Joe Nowak
"Nice and thick, xtra long and no chemical smell like some of the others." - Amazon Reviewer, Valerie
"…but I also want to mention that it does not have any sort of weird 'plastic' small like a lot of plastic items can have." - Amazon Customer
"I thought after I opened it it would have an odor but there was none." - Amazon Reviewer, Jean M. Kennedy
